Simon, later named Peter, is a common fisherman in Galilee. A carefree braggart, Simon is devastated when his wife dies in childbirth. His call to follow Jesus changes his life. The Eye of God: A Fisherman's Tale takes place during forty years of Roman rule by four successive Emperors. Simon Peter, now a 'fisher of men,' is determined to save Jesus from a Roman crucifixion, but when he fails he spends the rest of his days preaching Jesus' startling new belief system.

This old story is told in a new way. Was Mary Magdalene the first Apostle in Rome? How did the men of the Dead Sea Scrolls connect with the life of Simon Peter? Who convinced the Emperor Caligula to withdraw his order to have his life-size statue placed in the Temple of the Jews in Jerusalem, and how did that affect the followers of Jesus? Why was Herod Antipas banished from Galilee? Where did Peter travel with his new wife Mary, the mother of John Mark? Was Peter in Babylon when he wrote his letter to the scattered Christians of the Diaspora? Did the other Apostles of Jesus live and die? The Eye of God: A Fisherman's Tale seeks to answer these questions.

Follow Simon Peter's journey into the vortex of the tumultuous Roman Empire from circa 28 C.E. to 64 C.E.
