My name will mean nothing to you, but my story is a retelling of the greatest story ever told and should mean everything to everyone.
If you interpret my words as fiction and fiction only, you will miss out on truths that are both historical and spiritual. Search the scriptures. There you will find evidence of my existence recorded in ancient sacred writ, overlooked for millennia. My story comes forth now because now is the promised day when satanic doubt spreads like black ink, threatening to blot out His very name, to reduce Him to nothing more than a teacher, to erase the eternal truths He taught and lived. That cannot happen. Jesus was who He said He was. I know because I was there in the shadows of His holy footsteps. His miracles were real. I know because I am one of those miracles.

Very well done--almost great
Customer, - April 27, 2009
For about 2/3 of this book, I loved, loved, loved it. Sorensen is such a great writer, and everything was vivid, eloquent, and just fantastic.
Maybe I just had too high of hopes, because the last part sort of fell apart for me. It became a laundry list of quoting straight from the New Testament rather than a story. The language got stilted, because so much was drawn straight from the scriptures--one second you have Peter being funny and casual and goofy and the next, he's going all eloquent and formal King James on the reader.
One big part at the end (no spoilers) felt like a cop-out, something that could have been built up in a really cool way. Instead, I felt cheated because the whole story is told in one person's head, so we should have known everything he did, but the author witheld one important bit for some big "aha" at the end. Didn't work for me.
The first 2/3 deserve 5 stars. The last third, maybe 3. Averaged out, 4 stars.
