There is only one way to eternal life.

How would you feel if the person you had given your all to, left your life for and served faithfully, simply abandoned you? Would you be hurt? Would you be angry? Would you be confused? Or maybe even feel betrayed? Would you question whether you knew this person at all? Would you ask yourself, "Did I know him? Did he truly love me? Was he really who I thought he was?" And your answer may be, "I never knew him at all." This book observes the betrayal of Peter from a different perspective while also paralleling it with modern day relationships.

It is some of the most valuable time anyone can devote.

Some of the questions and answers are easy, some hard; some profound, some silly; some tragic, some funny; most of them thought-provoking and all of them, I hope, entertaining.

In his last recorded letter to the Church, the Apostle Peter highlighted a peculiar list of seven qualities as his final legacy. What he said about this carefully constructed guide is extraordinary.

As Catholic theologian, historian, and papal biographer George Weigel notes, the next pope will probably have been a teenager or a very young man during the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965); he may even have been a child during those years. Thus the next pope will not have been shaped by the experience of the Council and the immediate debates over its meaning and reception like Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI, and Pope Francis.
