Saint Peter: A Life from Beginning to End (Biographies of Christians)

This retells St. Peter's life as told through the Bible. The advantage is that his whole story is told without having to hunt up each mention throughout the Bible. Until reading this, I'd forgotten that St. Peter went to jail and disappeared from those jails multiple times. However, he came to the tragic end of being crucified upside down. Nero blamed the Christians for the 2/3 burning of Rome, and he started persecuting the Christians.
