Peter and John stand forth in vivid color in the New Testament, and by any reckoning are the greatest and most charismatic figures amongst the twelve Apostles. The present book traces their journey as disciples of Jesus through the Gospel accounts, from the first sunny days of the encounter at Jordan, to the final great drama of the cross and resurrection. They were privileged to follow the Master closely during His earthly sojourn, and each chapter illuminates the challenges, perplexities and wonderment through which they passed on their pilgrimage with Him. The Gospel narratives slowly unfold their secrets, until we come at last to understand the way in which their characters were transformed. We see John, whom Jesus called the Son of Thunder, become transfigured into the Apostle of Love. We also journey with Simon Peter, whose latent capacity for greatness Jesus discerned from the beginning. As he endures his shattering trials he finally becomes the Rockman, strong and steadfast in character, a pillar on which the early church might be built.
