Book Review - upon this rock

I received a hard cover edition in almost new shape for $4.99! I'd say that is excellent!

A challenging, yet faith-enhancing view of early Christians

Murphy's Peter is not the perfect first pope of legend, but a man driven by the shame of denying Christ. He is afflicted by jealosy of John and an all too active sex drive. Still, he perserveres to lead the early church as he hopes Christ would want. Many Biblical and historic figures play a part in this painstakingly detailed piece of historical fiction. A darn good read!
