The Friend Who Forgives is the first children’s book by pastor Dan Dewitt. This book tells the story of the relationship between Peter and Jesus. Specifically, how Peter denied Christ yet Christ forgave Him. This book draws instances from various New Testament passages and retells them in a way that is easy for children to understand. The Friend Who Forgives ends with the simple Gospel reminder that, “. . . if you trust in Jesus, he will forgive you, too – again, and again, and again.” I read this book with my two-year-old daughter and she really enjoyed it.
Accompanying the story are beautiful illustrations that are fun for kids and enjoyable for adults alike. I’m excited to add this book to my daughter’s story time rotation because the reminder of our forgiveness in Christ is one our hearts need daily. The primary audience for this book is young children but older children and adults will find themselves encouraged by reading it too. Overall, we really enjoyed this book and are excited to have it in our home library. We love the Tales That Tell the Truth series are excited for this addition to it.
I received The Friend Who Forgives compliments of The Good Book Company in exchange for my honest review.
