Fishers of Men - (Kingdom and the Crown) by Gerald N Lund (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

An epic story in three volumes.

Fishers of Men is the first volume in this trilogy, which focuses on David ben Joseph, who has been watching since the sign of the new star thirty years before, waiting the Messiah who he believes will save them from their political oppressors. As reports of the carpenter from Nazareth spread, many believe, but others are threatened by Jesus' message and influence.

Review Quotes

"Lund finishes his epic Kingdom and the Crown series with Behold the Man, following Fishers of Men, and Come unto Me...Characters from the first two volumes, concerned with Roman oppression and Zealot rebellion, appear also in the conclusion, which is the story of the final days of Jesus' ministry, his trial and crucifixion, and his resurrection...Despite its monumental length, it zips right along...It belongs in public libraries everywhere."--Booklist (Starred review)-- "Booklist"
