He started as a humble, hardworking \x1dsherman. But he ended his life with a lasting legacy that still inspires Christians worldwide today. His path from one to the other wasnt smooth or straight. And there is enormous hope in understanding his rocky, stumbling journey of following Jesus.In this eight-week Bible study, Jodie Niznik delves into the ways Peters missteps and failures reveal Gods grace. When Jesus met Peter in those broken places and called him to get back up, dust himself o\x1f, and keep following, we are, in turn, taught how to follow Jesus in our own lives. Along the way, Niznik emphasizes mindfulness practices to readers, inviting them to come to each weeks study with a quiet mind and ready heart.\x1cereisnowallowinginmistakeshere,however.Instead, drawing on all four gospels and other supporting Scriptures, Jodie invites readers to see the grace, mercy, and correction of Jesus in the life of Peter, and then to draw parallels to modern Christian lives. Each chapter begins with a spiritual practice that ties into the weeks theme to help women engage their heart in the study.\x1cough Peter lived two thousand years ago, he is proof that if God can use an imperfect life like his, then God can and will use Christians today, despite all those ways they feel themselves failing, coming up short, and falling away.JodieNiznikhasservedinpastoralministryforovertwelve years.
