From Ordinary Life to an Extraordinary Purpose
History remembers Saint Peter as one of the greatest followers of Jesus Christ, but before that calling, he was simply Simon, a hardworking fisherman trying to provide for his family. In Saint Peter: The Woman He Loved, The Master He Followed, Marilyn Huntman Giese brings readers into Peter’s life long before he became the steadfast disciple known throughout history. Through rich historical details and heartfelt storytelling, this story paints a deeply personal portrait of the man behind the biblical figure.
Unlike many retellings of Peter’s life, this story explores not only his spiritual journey but also the people who shaped him, especially the women he loved and the relationships that influenced his transformation. Blending historical fiction with faith, the story invites readers to experience familiar biblical events through fresh eyes while discovering the humanity behind one of Christianity’s most influential leaders.
Can’t a man have bad luck now and then without everyone getting excited? I am better off than most of our neighbors. I have a home, a boat, a strong back and a beautiful wife. Now, I don’t want to talk about working for Zebedee or anyone anymore.
