From the back cover:
A Rebel Reclaimed
- The Rebel's Past. Like many of us, Peter began well. It was not long, however, before he became a disappointment to himself and to the Lord Jesus Christ
- The Rebel's Remorse. Peter's boldness of speech did not match his boldness of action. In many ways, he was just talk. He seemed to have some proper words, but his actions did not back up those words. Even after the Lord looked at him and he went out and "wept bitterly," after he denied his Lord three times, he still led many of the apostles back to fishing for fish rather than fishing for men.
- The Rebel's Reclamation. The Lord Jesus did not discard Peter, but when he returned to His side on the day of Pentecost, He saw fit to use him mightily. The book of First Peter is a testimony to God's giving a second and even third chance to one who had failed Him. The book is rich in God's eternal truth. If he can use a Peter, he can use any of us!
