Fishers of men

So I have recently been reading a book called fishers of men. It's a historical fiction of the time when Jesus was teaching on the earth. It explains all of the miracles he did and the things he taught. There is a family that learns about Jesus and finds out that he is the Messiah. It starts out with just David, who is Deborah's husband learning about Jesus and wanting to follow him. Then Leah, David's daughter sees the things that Jesus is doing and she also wants to follow him. Then Ephraim David's oldest son and his wife Rachel, also want to follow Jesus. But Deborah and Simeon David's middle aged son are still stubborn and can't believe that the messiah has actually come. Deborah had a very hard childhood and she was forced to watch her father die on a cross. Simeon had started believing but when he heard Jesus say that is someone asks you to go a mile then you should go with him twain he was shocked and ran back home. Simeon didn't like this because the Romans asked people who were bad to walk a roman mile, and it was humiliating to do that so to walk two miles would be even worse. But later in the book Deborah happens to find Jesus teaching and at the time she was listening to him teach he had told his disciples (who were stopping the little children to go unto Jesus) to suffer the little children to come unto me. Deborah at the time was with her granddaughter who's name was Esther. And Esther went to Jesus and she loved him very much she even kissed him on the cheek. Jesus told Deborah that she had to become like a little child to go up unto the kingdom of heaven. She was converted after that. Then when Everyone of age was getting baptized (except Simeon) Esther asked Jesus if she could be baptized. He told her that when she got older that she could get baptized. Then she asked if Simeon could get baptized. Then Jesus lifted her up into his arms and whispered into her ear. Only Esther heard what he said. A little bit after that Simeon asked Esther what Jesus had told her. She said that he had told her that she couldn't get baptized yet. Simeon asked what he had said when she had asked him if I could get baptized. She smiled and said, he said not to worry that you would get baptized in a little while. I can't wait to finish this book, I really like it and I can't wait to finish the series too!!
