The author takes readers on a profound journey, compelling them to reflect on their spiritual life using Peter's own narrative as a paradigm. The reader cannot but engage with the depth of Peter's experiences, the failures and the triumphs.

Mike Kuhn challenges us to push back against cultural and religious influences that have distorted our view of ourselves and of what God is doing in his world; to take a fresh look at who we are, honestly acknowledging the "shadow-self" and to humbly submit to the redemptive work - the shaping - that God wants to do in our lives in order to bring us to the "real-self" that God uniquely created each of us to be.
