Otro libro que me recomendó mi director espiritual y que ha resultado ser una joya. De hecho, él me dejó un ejemplar suyo y fue leer unos capítulos y decidir que tenía que conseguir uno para mí. En cuanto lo conseguí, se lo devolví para que pudiera ayudar con él a más personas.
En este libro recorremos lo que de Pedro nos cuentan los Evangelios, pero de forma que lo podemos aplicar a nuestra propia vida cristiana, viéndonos reflejados en la relación del primer Papa con Jesús. Es un librito para desgranar poco a poco, saboreando sus palabras y meditando sus contenidos.

De esas lecturas que tienes que hacer varias veces para aprovechar cada idea.
Me encantó cómo plantea la traición de Pedro: Pedro negó a Jesús 3 veces porque lo siguió de lejos, pero al menos lo intentó seguir. No lo hubiera negado, si no lo hubiera seguido durante la Pasión...

Muy interesante la explicación y aplicación a la vida diaria que hace el autor de cada una de las apariciones de san Pedro en los Evangelios.

July 6, 2019Biografía de San Pedro, a partir de los datos contenidos en el Evangelio, que el autor aprovecha para exponer la doctrina sobre la Iglesia y el Romano Pontífice. Su descripción del carácter y virtudes del Apóstol —muy amena y de profunda piedad— anima a recomenzar siempre en la lucha por la santidad a pesar de los errores y de las derrotas. Muy útil para todos.

Meditations on about 20 gospel verses involving Saint Peter. Nothing about his history or life after the gospels, even in Acts. Sort of disappointing.
An easy and very basic read. Would recommend to children who know nothing about Saint Peter and don't have the attention span needed for the Bible.

Incredible read. In Peter, we have an example for all of us; making promises which sometimes we can't fulfil.
But our lord still places his trust in us.

Una vez más un libro de meditaciones que me ha sorprendido por la sencillez de su lenguaje y lo ameno que resulta a pesar de que trata temas muy serios y con mucha seriedad.

Georges Chevrot collects together the principal encounters between Jesus and Peter in the gospels and comments on them. He shows us how Jesus trains up Peter to become the head of the Church and in doing so we too can learn how to follow Christ. This is a great book with plenty of material to reflect on for years to come. Excellent.
