Produktbeschreibung
Saint Peter was a crucial figure in early Christianity; as one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, he oversaw the formal establishment of the early church and became the first Bishop of Rome. Peter's formative years were spent as a fisherman. It was here that the purpose of his disciple status was unveiled: Peter was to become a 'fisher of men'; helping others believe in the Lord. These and other events are told in this biography, which investigates the ways in which Peter sought to enlighten and catch souls of men, that they be set on a righteous path to God and the Holy Spirit. Peter's humble beginnings soon transform through his pursuit of God; he accompanies Jesus as one of his twelve apostles, and is listed foremost among them in all sources. His spiritual guidance and devotion to the mission of Christ has great bearing on the foundation of the Christian church; Peter also witnessed the Resurrection of Jesus first-hand, and delivered some of the first sermons following this revelatory event.

Dixon, was a Baptist pastor and evangelist in England who worked in ministry and inner-city missions on both sides of the Atlantic. In an obituary, he was referred to as The Archbishop of the Free Churches. He wrote numerous religious books and essays, many of which are still in print today. Friedrich Meyer was born in London. He attended Brighton College before graduating from the University of London in 1869. He studied theology at Regent's Park College. Meyer was a member of the Higher Life movement and frequently preached at the Keswick Convention. He was recognized as a champion against immorality. He preached against alcoholism and prostitution. He is reported to have led to the closure of hundreds of saloons and brothels. While in York in the early 1870s, F. B. Meyer met American evangelist Dwight L. Moody, whom he introduced to other chapels, churches, and ministers in England in exchange for invitations to minister in America on many occasions. The two pastors formed lifelong friendships.
