The Fourth Fisherman is an enjoyable read with two stories intertwined. I found myself getting involved in one of the stories and after turning the page to read on, I found the next exciting update on the other story, making it quite a page turner.
The first story is about the author, Joe Kissack, who has a successful career as a Hollywood executive. This success brings all the things money can buy, a mansion, sports cars, and expensive clothes. For Kissack, this success does not come without a cost. He finds himself in a cycle of depression, alcoholism and stress, while his relationship with his wife and daughters suffer.
The second story follows a group of Mexican fishermen as they get lost at sea for months. Their story of survival as they find themselves 5,500 miles from home in the middle of the Pacific Ocean is truly amazing. They are forced to battle hunger, extreme heat, loss, and severe storms as their situation continues to look hopeless. The only thing keeping them going is their blind faith.
I really enjoyed how the two stories took turns in The Fourth Fisherman and I felt myself turning the pages to find out what would happen next. Throughout the book I wondered how the author would tie the two extremely different stories together but he pulled it off well. I did find myself wanting more of a “happy ending” but as this is a true story it was real and believable.
Joe Kissack manages to inspire readers by the faith of the fishermen and the lessons he learned about how to be a good father, husband, and a better man. Most of all, both stories inspire readers to follow God on nothing but faith.
