The Fisherman

Summary: Storytelling?
Review: Apparently, the author forgot this was supposed to be a story. He "told" instead of "showed" Jesus love. It appeared as though Peter was from the 21st century and gone back in time to tell us how our opinions of Jesus are wrong. I don't think that Peter thought in terms and concepts of the 21st century, but in terms of the 1st century. The entire book was written from Peter's "thoughts." If you are looking for a good story, try another book.

Summary: Jesus, my best friend
Review: I bought this book for my brother, a pastor, and have found myself so moved by it that I'll have to get him his own copy. This one's mine! The book really reveals Jesus as a our best friend, our confidant and the one who knows best. In "The Fisherman," Peter frequently resorts to relying on his own instincts but learns that the Master not only has a better way, He has the only way. There's a passage in this book that says Peter knew Jesus as friend first and had to learn that he is Master and Messiah; but that we who know He is Messiah must learn that He's our friend. Beautiful.

Summary: Don't miss reading this one!!
Review: I found this book to be very moving!
It was a "tear jerker" for me! *~* I could hardly lay it down.
This book made me feel like I was actually there and experiencing the emotions as well as the actual events Peter, the main character, was describing. This book made the gospels "come alive" for me. I liked the way the author's time line of all the gospel events gave the story a smooth flow and the epilogue at the end was extraordinary!
I highly recommend this book to anyone who, for any reason at all, ever wished they could have lived during this time when Jesus actually lived and walked this earth with His disciples. It makes one feel like they were there. It makes you understand that the disciples were just ordinary folks like the rest of us.
What an "eye-opener", A wonderful read!!!

Summary: Peter the Rock
Review: I loved the account of Simon the fisherman and his journey to become Peter the rock. For me, this first person account by Simon Peter allowed me to feel like I was there. I look forward to a visit with Peter when I get to heaven. Thank you to Mr. Huntsperger for writing this account.

Summary: Questions Needing Answers... Startling!
Review: I started reading what I thought was a little "historical fiction" about Peter and the Master. About half-way through I realized I was reading about the Master and me- but it was still Peter's name on the page. How did author Larry Huntsperger do it? Why did I cry every time Jesus looked with love into the eyes of Peter? Why did I rejoice and tremble for every step Peter took toward understanding his Master better? Why was I able to experience the love of Christ like never before? Why, for the first time in my life, am I buying a bundle of books to pass out to my friends who want to walk closer to the Master? I feel like an author finally did justice to my impression of the biblical Jesus. This is an exceptional write by a master storyteller who is bound by passion to stay true to the Word!

Review: It is my hope that you will find Peter's remarkable walk with the King to be of as much encouragment to you as I did during the writing process.

Summary: Robert's Opinion
Review: Larry has done a masterful job of telling The Greatest Story Ever Told in first person through the eyes and thoughts of The Fisherman. An historical novel written in a different way. Highly recommended for people who like historical novels and a must for all Christians.
