Can a Christian-killer really endure 195 lashes from a heart of love? Can a mystic who thinks he was caught up into heaven be a model of lucid rationality?

Das Markenzeichen der Autorin Rita J.

San Pietro fu l'apostolo chiamato da Gesù a essere il primo papa con le parole: "Tu sei Pietro e su questa pietra fonderò la mia Chiesa". Divenne, insieme a san Paolo, fondatore della Roma cristiana stabilizzando la prima comunità di cristiani e testimoniando con il martirio la sua fedeltà a Cristo. Ma Pietro fu prima di tutto un uomo chiamato da Gesù a seguirlo dicendogli "Tu sei Simone il figlio di Giovanni; ti chiamerai Cefa, Pietro". Da semplice pescatore, Pietro divenne pescatore di anime. Fu tra i più intraprendenti e certamente il più impulsivo degli apostoli, sicuramente l'apostolo più vicino a Cristo.
