Simon vs. Simon

“Things I wanted to know, and things I didn't even know I wanted to know about Saint Peter—it’s all here! Superbly written and annotated with endnotes, Simon vs. Simon is an informative, but easy-reading, faith-based tale of wonder and awe. Facts and events in riveting story form—drama, spectacle, and miracles—all craftily weaved together to inform, entertain, and inspire readers of all ages. Highly recommended!”


—Christina Krajewski, literary editor





“This is Brown at his best! Simon vs. Simon is a graceful and artistic telling of the Christian faith which wonders through a harmonious weaving of Christian theological beliefs and its ecclesiological construct. A beautifully crafted tale!”


—Maricarmen Campos Castro, author of Warriors: In the Spiritual Battle, Victory Is Ours





“If you’ve ever wondered about the lives of the apostles after the death and resurrection of Jesus, Simon vs. Simon is the little known, true story of Simon Peter—his life, his teachings, and his trials and tribulations with his nemesis, Simon Magus the sorcerer. This book is filled with drama, envy and jealousy, spectacles and miracles.”
