"Simon Peter" by Adam Hamilton

Simon Peter—an ordinary fisherman who heard an extraordinary call.

He was not rich or educated, but was familiar with hard work. He was quick-tempered and impetuous, but possessed a passion that would change the world. He left everything to follow his teacher, yet struggled with doubt and fear.
