Fishers of Men

This book is first in a set of three. It is a wonderful trilogy set during the time of Jesus Christ, featuring a fictional family and their friends who encounter a new preacher… Who is he? Is he the Messiah? Some family members accept Him immediately and follow Him. Others question and take time. .Belief has consequences The book is an excellent view into the times of Christ. There’s chapter notes at the end of each chapter with documentation, explanations of the customs and history. I learned about Pharisees,
Sadduces, Zealots, Romans, but best of all this book brought to life the Bible stories I’ve heard all my life. My understanding has grown – of questions like: How could the crowds love him one day and call for his crucifixion the next? Why were some leaders of the Jews so virulent against this Man who taught his followers to turn the other cheek? The story is gripping, well woven and inspiring. I’m reading it now for the second time and loving it!

I really enjoyed Fishers of Men. Gerald N. Lund has a great balance of keeping you engaged and excited while also teaching you the history of the setting in all of is books. Fishers of Men is no different. I am definitely going to continue and read the whole series. I love the personal conflict each character goes through when the stranger who is called Jesus comes. Each of them have something that they must give up in order to follow Christ. By the first chapter you will be hooked by the suspense, but the full adventure doesnt come full underway until youre close toward the end and that can take some time getting too. The book itself is over 600 pages so its not a fast read. If you want a book that has adventure and excitement with a touch of romance while also enhancing your understanding of Christ in a personal way, this is the book for you! I would recommend it to anyone.

Could not put the books down !!! Having just returned from a trip to Israel I was memorized by the details in each of the characters, the physical surroundings taking you back to the event time-period, and holding to the Bible Scriptures. Best Books Ever…. I will definitely be reading these more than once!

Love all Herald Lunds historical fiction this one is as well so great. Just started series but have loved it so far

Great book, great author, recommended reading if you enjoy the New Testament.
