About this ebook

Walk with Simon Peter—the fisherman of Galilee, Apostle of Christ, disciple of Jesus, and first Pope of the Catholic Church.


Have you ever felt your faith wasn’t strong enough? That your mistakes were too many? You’re not alone. Saint Peter the Apostle—also known as Simon Peter—felt the same way. He was the disciple who walked on water, the apostle who denied Jesus three times, and the humble fisherman chosen to be the Rock of the Church. His story is one of failure, forgiveness, faith, and transformation through Christ.


In Life of St. Peter: The First Pope, Rock of the Church, and Keeper of the Keys of Heaven, you won’t just read a biography—you’ll step into the Gospels and experience the journey of Peter the Apostle of Jesus Christ in his own voice. Written as a powerful first-person testimony, this book reads like a novel while staying true to Scripture and Church tradition.


Inside this book, you will:


Relive the greatest moments of the Gospels through Peter’s eyes: the miraculous catch of fish, walking on water, the Transfiguration, the Last Supper, the crucifixion, and the joy of the Resurrection.


Discover why Jesus called Simon to be Peter, the Rock, and what it means to be the Prince of the Apostles and the keeper of the keys of Heaven.


See how Peter’s doubts, fears, and failures became the very place where Christ’s grace was strongest.


Learn the role of Peter as the first Pope and leader of the early Church in Rome, standing as a witness to the Resurrection.


Find encouragement, hope, and inspiration for your own walk of faith.


This book is perfect for:


Readers searching for Christian biographies that bring Bible stories to life.


Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestants who want to grow closer to the apostles of Jesus Christ.


Anyone struggling with doubt, fear, or sin who needs reassurance of God’s mercy and forgiveness.


People looking for books about the disciples of Jesus, the early Church, or the New Testament apostles.


Fans of faith-filled, emotional books like The Life of St. Paul, Lives of the Saints, or other Catholic saint biographies.


Those seeking Bible study resources on Peter the Apostle or a devotional book based on the Gospels.


Why this book stands out:


Unlike traditional history or theology, Life of St. Peter is written as if Peter himself is speaking to you. The storytelling is warm, vivid, and relatable—like sitting with a close friend who has walked with Jesus. You’ll feel the waves beneath your feet as Peter steps out of the boat, the shame of his denial, and the joy of Christ’s forgiveness.


This is more than a book about Saint Peter—it is a journey with the fisherman of Galilee, the disciple of Jesus, the first Pope of the Catholic Church, and the apostle who gave his life as a martyr in Rome.
