In the end, the sea forgot his name, but heaven didn't.

Peter: The Rock That Cracked is a raw, luminous portrait of Christianity's most human apostle - the man who swore loyalty, swung a sword, sank in doubt, and still found redemption on a beach at dawn.

From the nets of Galilee to the shadows of Gethsemane, D. Michael Gross traces the journey of a man whose heart always outran his understanding. Peter's story is not just one of faith found but faith fractured and reforged in the fire of failure.

This isn't hagiography. It's holy biography - stripped of polish, full of breath and bruises. Through vivid storytelling, theological insight, and emotional honesty, Gross brings the fisherman of Galilee to life as the blueprint of every believer who ever stumbled toward grace.

A story of denial, forgiveness, and impossible faith - told through the eyes of the man who failed forward.
