For the story of Peter is the story of Jesus. Perhaps, if you and I do our best, the same will be said of us someday\"--Michael Card.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimon Peter emerges from the pages of the Gospels with greater clarity and definition than any other person except Jesus. He is the Rock, the unambiguous leader of the Twelve. He could even be described as Jesus' best friend. But that is not all. \"He was a fragile stone,\" writes Michael Card, \"completely dependent upon his Master and Friend, even as Jesus had insisted on his dependence on the Father.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this landmark book, songwriter and musician Michael Card explores the dynamic, contradictory life of the apostle Peter. The fruit of years of careful study, \u003ci\u003eA Fragile Stone\u003c\/i\u003e revisits well-known passages and discovers unexpected insights, painting a portrait of Peter that is both familiar and jarring. With a scope spanning the entire New Testament, Card reveals how the impetuous fisherman of the Gospels was transformed into the pivotal leader of the early church. The life of Simon Peter thus serves as a model for Christian discipleship, offering hope that we likewise can be changed as Jesus calls us to follow him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Card is an award-winning musician and performing artist.
