Simon Called Peter

At breakfast, the headline says Germany has declared war on Russia—and Peter Graham knows the country is already staring into catastrophe. Around him, the Lessings insist that business, reason, and good sense will keep Britain out.

On a bright Sunday in London, the young clergyman is on his way to preach at fashionable St. John’s, with a sermon that suddenly feels too small for the moment. Hilda Lessing hopes he will spare her father, who dismisses the danger as impossible; Peter sees a storm gathering over Europe and wonders what will become of the poor when ordinary life collapses. Between the pulpit and the breakfast table, he must find words for a crisis no one seems ready to face. What can he say when the world he knows is beginning to break apart?
