**Beautifully illustrated hardback book pointing young children to Jesus, the friend who forgave Peter and will forgive them too.**
Do you ever talk before you think? Mess up? Let others down? That’s what Peter did again and again and again, and it led him to abandon his best friend, Jesus.
Peter loved Jesus. He felt terrible when he pretended not to know him. He thought all was lost when Jesus died. But Jesus is not like our other friends. He wants to forgive us when we are sorry, even when we mess up again and again and again. And because Jesus died and rose again, he can. Jesus’ death took the punishment for all of Peter’s mistakes and all our mistakes, and his resurrection showed the penalty was lifted.
After he rose from the dead, Jesus went and found Peter and forgave him, and he can do the same for us. Peter spent the rest of his life telling people that if they put their trust in Jesus, they could be forgiven too again and again and again.
Children know all about failing, but they don’t always experience true forgiveness. This book points them to Jesus, the one who will forgive them again and again and again.

The Friend Who Forgives: A True Story About How Peter Failed and Jesus Forgave (Tales That Tell The Truth Series)$23.99
This one is my Sunday school children’s favourite story! Not only it’s biblically true but also it has some sense of joke which is relevant with children preschool age. Highly recommend it

Gospel truth
Brilliantly illustrated and written! This book does confront the complexities of forgiveness in a kid-friendly way, but I suggest older kids would be able to better understand the message the authors are trying to convey.

A great Easter story
This is a great book in the Tales that tell the truth series. It is a lovely large hard cover book, with bold and attractive pictures. The story looks at Peter, his love of fishing and his issue with saying the wrong thing sometimes. When Jesus tell his followers that they will all leave him, Peter speaks up straight away - I will never do that! But then denies Jesus three times. Then after Jesus comes back to life, he finds Peter, forgives him and they have fish for breakfast. The story is done with lots of humour, is written well and keeps children engaged, while staying accurate to the biblical account both in words and pictures. I would recommend for any children 3 years and up.
