Douglas, Lloyd C. frey50
The big fisherman - Boston Houghton Mifflin Company 1948 - 581 p.
The Big Fisherman is the story of Simon Peter, that most lovable and human of the Apostles of Jesus. You meet him first at the Sea of Galilee, a powerful, two fisted, profane and irreverent fishing boss, who lays down his nets to follow Jesus to Calvary. But the world of Peter on the shores of Galilee was the crossroads of the world, warring then as it is now. It was a polyglot world of quarreling, scheming people living unmolested by Rome, only because she was busy in the West. Mr. Douglas has taken his characters from all these people.
