The Fisherman, Repackaged Edition
A Novel
About
He was an ordinary man with ordinary ambitions.
Until Jesus entered his life.
Simon, a fisherman, works hard to provide for his family and dreams about expanding his business. He lives an ordered and predictable life until one fateful day when he meets a man who will change everything.
In this spellbinding first-person account of a rugged fisherman-turned-follower, you'll experience the Gospel story anew through Simon Peter's keen eyes. The miracles, the trial, the tragedy, and the triumph--those familiar stories come alive as never before. With sincerity, humor, and faithfulness to the Scriptures, talented author Larry Huntsperger takes you along a gritty spiritual journey you will not soon forget.
Endorsements
"He's got it! Sometimes I wince when someone asks me to read a novel based on a biblical character. I winced when I was given this one. No more. You are going to love this book! Not only that, you are also going to read the biblical accounts of Peter and the words of Peter in the Bible with fresh insight and depth. This is a case when a 'sanctified imagination' has become a gift to Christians who love Peter and, even more, love the One he followed and worshiped." -Steve Brown, professor of preaching, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando; Key Life Bible teacher
"Larry Huntsperger has given us an amazing glimpse of the real Peter as he must have been--earthy, tough, and practical to a fault; his mind dealing only in fish and profit. We are fascinated to see the clash of values as he meets Jesus and the seemingly impossible happens--he becomes a disciple, a fisher of men." -Roberta Kells Dorr, author
