A Fisherman Called Simon

by Kenneth Winter

Simon was a loyal son, a selfless brother, a faithful husband, a loving father, a trustworthy friend, and a skillful fisherman, as well as a natural leader – long before he ever met Jesus of Nazareth. He put the needs of others before his own. He led with his heart; often before he engaged his head. Some might call him impetuous, but others would say impassioned. He was the only one willing to step out of the boat and walk on the water. He alone drew his sword to defend his Master. But this same man failed in a moment of fear and denied his Lord. This is the story of a fisherman called Simon, upon whose confession Jesus said He would build His church. Consider this one who followed Jesus to his Savior’s cross … and subsequently to his own.. Consider his story — the portion you may already know … and the rest of the story that could have been.

[Rich Thornton · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed the audio version of this book. The narrator was excellent. The author of the book tells a very good story of Peter, one of the disciples of Jesus. Weaving details from the Bible with fictional fill in conversations was a good way to tell the story of this fisherman who became a disciple of Jesus.

Kenneth Winter is one of my favorite authors because of his research and weaving it into his story telling. He really brought Simon (Peter) to life for me.
