Open The Fisherman's Wife and you enter the world of first-century Capernaum on the Sea of Galilee. This is the hometown of St. Peter's wife. What was it like to be a Jewish woman married to a man who leaves home for long stretches of time to follow Jesus, a controversial preacher with mysterious powers? Through The Fisherman's Wife you experience the unusual life of Peter's wife vicariously. In Capernaum you meet not only impetuous Peter, but the tempestuous Zebedee brothers and other apostles, persons Jesus healed, Mary, and the Lord himself. People in the Bible spring to life as their stories are told through the eyes of St. Peter's wife. At first she regards Jesus as a rival for her husband's affections. As she transforms from a doubter into a fervent disciple, you are treated to a personal and unique view not only of Peter but of Jesus-his words and actions culminating in his death and rising. By the time you are finished reading, you will feel as though you know the people who walk through the Bible at the time of Jesus. From then on, hearing and reading their stories in Scripture will never be the same. Kathleen Glavich has authored numerous books on the Bible for all ages and was privileged to visit the Holy Land. From the time she was a preteen, she has loved fiction books about Bible characters. She lives in Cleveland, Ohio, and ventures out to give talks on Scripture, even as far away as Dubai.

The "Fisherman's Wife" is a beautiful, poignant love story told from the view point of the Apostle Peter's wife. Kathleen Glavich weaves an intricate portrayal of Jesus' ministry as it was seen through the eyes of ordinary people. She has researched the time period thoroughly and blends history, romance, scripture and occasional humor to create a heartwarming and deeply profound book. The characters of Miriam and Peter are well developed and the story flows smoothly. The reader meets Miriam as a young girl who along with her best friend is hoping to become the mother of the promised Messiah. As the story unveils, Miriam becomes a wife and a mother. She is happily married with a devoted and loving husband who treats her as an equal but makes the decision to become a disciple of Jesus, leaving her to care for a household and raise her children mostly on her own. She experiences a gamut of emotions over Peter's departure to follow Christ, but exemplifies true unconditional love for her husband. The novel has great depth and forces the reading to reflect on the meaning of love from a variety of perspectives. I highly recommend this book.
Although this is a fictional account, I really enjoyed reading this book because it put my mind in the setting of the first century while the Apostles and Jesus walked the earth. The author did very careful research to stir your imagination into that time frame, which made it so believable and created the 'non-fiction' aura about it. I felt drawn to the characters in a more personal way than what is spoken about them in biblical texts. However, the author was careful to leave much about Jesus Christ to your imagination, rather than speak "as" Him, like she did with the other characters. I would have rated it 5 stars except there were a few instances where the author used expressions that could not have possibly been spoken during that century - at least not from my point of view. I do recommend you check it out for yourself.
I loved this book! It details the difficulties of those who supported the followers of Jesus in a realistic way. Each character was vibrant and alive! I was immediately drawn into the book. Life was not always easy, but when Jesus was around, He made it worthwhile, even if the wife of Peter was very angry at Him for taking her husband away from her for long periods of time. I felt that I got to know this dynamic woman very well through this book. Glavich is an amazing writer. I look forward to reading more from her!
This book exceeded my expectations. Since it was written by female clergy I thought it would be "seeSpotrun"type of thing. But it wasn't. It has lots of history in it especially customs and beliefs. It makes the Bible come alive and I thought it was realistic in terms of how people believed, acted as well as emotional responses. I enjoyed it. Easy to read too.
I thought the story was very good; the book was rather juvenile to intermediate in it writing style, but that may have been purposeful on the author's part. There was appropriate mention of married love making, but nothing explicit, so I described it as no sexual content. Good descriptions of every day life in the lives of 1st century women. Thoroughly enjoyable.
I have a special affinity to St. Peter and know this author through a professional association. Historically well documented with lovely details about the homes, fabrics and foods of the time. I enjoyed the story as seen through the eyes of Miriam, Peter's wife. Shows much of the hardships that were experienced by the early Christians and Church. Enjoyable read.
I couldn't put this book down. Kathleen's style is descriptive, engaging, and concrete. The personalities come across as real and life-like. An especially noteworthy quality is her interweaving of well-known Scripture stories throughout each chapter. I found myself wishing Kathleen would write a version of the Gospels and Epistles from a woman's perspective. She could do a great job.
This is a sweet book written with a different perspective that allows the reader to use their imagination about the life and times of Jesus the Christ! A very gentle and an easy read.

There was once upon a time a fisherman who lived with his wife in a pig-stye close by the sea, and every day he went out fishing. And he fished, and he fished. And once he was sitting with his rod, looking at the clear water, and he sat and he sat. Then his line suddenly went down, far down below, and when he drew it up again, he brought out a large flounder.
Then the flounder said to him, "Hark, you fisherman, I pray you, let me live, I am no flounder really, but an enchanted prince. What good will it do you to kill me. I should not be good to eat, put me in the water again, and let me go."
"Come," said the fisherman, "there is no need for so many words about it - a fish that can talk I should certainly let go, anyhow."
And with that he put him back again into the clear water, and the flounder went to the bottom, leaving a long streak of blood behind him. Then the fisherman got up and went home to his wife in the pig-stye.
"Husband," said the woman, "have you caught nothing to-day."
"No," said the man, "I did catch a flounder, who said he was an enchanted prince, so I let him go again."
"Did you not wish for anything first?" said the woman.
"No," said the man, "what should I wish for?"
"Ah," said the woman, "it is surely hard to have to live always in this pig-stye which stinks and is so disgusting. You might have wished for a little hut for us. Go back and call him. Tell him we want to have a little hut, he will certainly give us that."
"Ah," said the man, "why should I go there again?"
"Why?" said the woman, "you did catch him, and you let him go again. He is sure to do it. Go at once."
The man still did not quite like to go, but did not like to oppose his wife either, and went to the sea. When he got there the sea was all green and yellow, and no longer so smooth, so he stood still and said,
"Flounder, flounder in the sea, Come, I pray thee, here to me. For my wife, good ilsabil, Wills not as I'd have her will."
Then the flounder came swimming to him and said, "Well what does she want, then."
"Ah," said the man, "I did catch you, and my wife says I really ought to have wished for something. She does not like to live in a pig-stye any longer. She would like to have a hut."
"Go, then," said the flounder, "she has it already."
When the man went home, his wife was no longer in the stye, but instead of it there stood a hut, and she was sitting on a bench before the door. Then she took him by the hand and said to him, "Just come inside. Look, now isn't this a great deal better?"
So they went in, and there was a small porch, and a pretty little parlor and bedroom, and a kitchen and pantry, with the best of furniture, and fitted up with the most beautiful things made of tin and brass, whatsoever was wanted. And behind the hut there was a small yard, with hens and ducks, and a little garden with flowers and fruit.
"Look," said the wife, "is not that nice?"
"Yes," said the husband, "and so it shall remain - now we will live quite contented."
"We will think about that," said the wife. With that they ate something and went to bed.
Everything went well for a week or a fortnight, and then the woman said, "Hark you, husband, this hut is far too small for us, and the garden and yard are little. The flounder might just as well have given us a larger house. I should like to live in a great stone castle. Go to the flounder, and tell him to give us a castle."
"Ah, wife," said the man, "the hut is quite good enough. Why whould we live in a castle?"
"What?" said the woman. "Just go there, the flounder can always do that."
"No, wife," said the man, "the flounder has just given us the hut, I do not like to go back so soon, it might make him angry."
"Go," said the woman, "he can do it quite easily, and will be glad to do it. Just you go to him."
The man's heart grew heavy, and he would not go. He said to himself, it is not right, and yet he went. And when he came to the sea the water was quite purple and dark-blue, and grey and thick, and no longer so green and yellow, but it was still quiet. And he stood there and said,
"Flounder, flounder in the sea, Come, I pray thee, here to me. For my wife, good ilsabil, Wills not as I'd have her will."
"Well, what does she want, now?" said the flounder.
"Alas, said the man, half scared, "she wants to live in a great stone castle."
"Go to it, then, she is standing before the door," said the flounder.
Then the man went away, intending to go home, but when he got there, he found a great stone palace, and his wife was just standing on the steps going in, and she took him by the hand and said, "Come in."
So he went in with her, and in the castle was a great hall paved with marble, and many servants, who flung wide the doors. And the walls were all bright with beautiful hangings, and in the rooms were chairs and tables of pure gold, and crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, and all the rooms and bedrooms had carpets, and food and wine of the very best were standing on all the tables, so that they nearly broke down beneath it. Behind the house, too, there was a great court-yard, with stables for horses and cows, and the very best of carriages. There was a magnificent large garden, too, with the most beautiful flowers and fruit-trees, and a park quite half a mile long, in which were stags, deer, and hares, and everything that could be desired.
"Come," said the woman, "isn't that beautiful?"
"Yes, indeed," said the man, "now let it be, and we will live in this beautiful castle and be content."
"We will consider about that," said the woman, "and sleep upon it." Thereupon they went to bed.
Next morning the wife awoke first, and it was just daybreak, and from her bed she saw the beautiful country lying before her. Her husband was still stretching himself, so she poked him in the side with her elbow, and said, "Get up, husband, and just peep out of the window. Look you, couldn't we be the king over all that land. Go to the flounder, we will be the king."
"Ah, wife," said the man, "why should we be king? I do not want to be king."
"Well," said the wife, "if you won't be king, I will. Go to the flounder, for I will be king."
"Ah, wife," said the man, "why do you want to be king? I do not like to say that to him."
"Why not?" said the woman. "Go to him this instant. I must be king."
So the man went, and was quite unhappy because his wife wished to be king. It is not right, it is not right, thought he. He did not wish to go
