Before he was Peter the Apostle, he was Shimon - a Galilean fisherman with a family, a trade, and a life carefully built on the shores of the Sea of Galilee.
But when Shimon encounters John the Immerser preaching repentance in the wilderness, and later meets Yeshua of Nazareth - a teacher who speaks of the Kingdom of God as present reality - everything begins to change. Renamed Kepha - the Rock - he is drawn into a movement that will challenge religious authority, confront the power of Rome, and demand more of him than he ever imagined.
As political tension rises and expectations of the Messiah intensify, Shimon must choose between security and calling, between the known life of nets and boats and the unknown path of discipleship. In following Yeshua, he will face doubt, failure, loyalty, and the cost of standing firm when the storm comes.
Rich in historical detail and grounded in first-century Jewish life, The Rock is immersive biblical historical fiction that brings Peter to life as husband, son, fisherman - and the flawed man who would become a foundational witness of the early church.
Perfect for readers of serious Christian historical fiction, early church drama, and faith-driven literary novels.
