A Lifetime of Discipleship Through Relationship: Seven Significant Days in the Life of Peter - Larry A. Kessler - Bog

This book explores the development of the apostle Peter's journey as he encounters Jesus, who transformed him from a seeker to a fully committed, mature disciple. Seven critical days of his journey brought about the change of character and motivation that inspired him to follow Jesus unreservedly. They are indicative of the steps to maturity that all believers are to take so that their lives reflect the image of Jesus Christ in the world today. Come along, walk with me, as we recreate these significant days in his life. They will challenge, encourage and inspire you to follow in the steps of Jesus. Pastor Larry Kessler began ministry as a lay leader in his local church, learning to serve wherever the need was evident. He has served as a pastor for 31 years. In 1993, he traveled to Russia and had an encounter with God, culminating in serving that nation for the next thirty years. He and wife, Mary, led many short term teams during that time, which deepened his convictions in relational discipleship. He traveled over much of Russia, teaching on discipleship, church planting and evangelism. He has mentored many young pastors who were called through the training schools he has conducted and he has long lasting relationships with them as a result. He also serves with Go Time Ministries in assisting a network of churches in Peru through discipleship training. Bottom line: If you have the "want to", God will place you where you need to be in His plan.
