When a young fisherman encounters the powerful love of Jesus Christ, he experiences a spiritual awakening that transforms his own life and changes the world. Through scripture readings, historical references, personal reflections and group discussion, Peter's relationship with Christ comes alive in this eight-week interactive study guide informed by answers to eight key questions: Who is in charge? What do I want? Who do I trust? Am I good enough? What is love? What is grace? Who am I? Where am I going? Patricia Clarke challenges the reader to explore their own relationship with Christ through Peter's example, and to learn, as he did, how to live a life Lifted by Love.
