The Friend who Forgives (Tales That Tell the Truth)

My daughter really enjoys this book! Every book we’ve read from this series is great! The pictures are colorful and fun. This book tells some of Peter’s story; how he loved Jesus and wanted to stick up for Him, no matter what, but ended up failing in the end. (Denied that he knew Jesus 3 times while Jesus was being questioned) It shows the amazing forgiveness of Jesus and how He gives us second chances. Something that I really appreciate about this book is that it highlights in the end how Jesus asked Peter 3 times if he loved Him, which was equivalent to the amount of times Peter had denied the Savior not so long before; it was a neat connection to make.

The Tales that Tell the Truth books are my absolute favorites to read to my daughter. My daughter is three and she LOVES these books—she requests at least one of them daily. The artwork in these books are beautifully done and each story is made simple enough for small children to gain understanding of deep ideas. We loved this book specifically because of the different approach it took to telling the majority of Peter’s story. So many children’s Bibles/books leave out Peter’s denial and Christ’s forgiveness and that is always so shocking to me because it’s one of my most favorite stories In the Bible! The writing is so well done, emphasizing everything that should be and written in a well-flowing memorable way. Love the repetition that is included on the important parts. It sticks in my daughters head and she can recite parts of the book by memory! These will be books we keep forever.

My boys still consistently ask for this book several months later. It's a treasure to not only teach them about Jesus and His forgiveness but also forgiving each other. I love the message and how the book approaches the difficult topic of peters denial of Jesus.

Gave this book as a gift. My grandson loves to red and especially positive behavior stories

This is one of our favorites that we consistently grab for. It really tells a beautiful story in such meaningful way for littles to grasp. I was looking for a Christian book for my kids and found this one on kinder book review. They have quite a few on there from this publisher.

This story and illustrations are easy for my little ones ti understand. I like to ask them questions along the way to make sure they are understanding the concept. Read to a 2yo and 4yo

This book is great! Great bible lesson. Well told. Fun to read. Appropriate for kids of all ages. Fun pictures. Overall a win. I will probably gift this book in the future. My son is 3... a bit too young, but there's noting wrong in starting them young!

My grandbabies love the book. Great read time and time again.

This is a lovely book that I got as a gift. Story is well told with great illustrations.

We all loved this book! The illustrations are fabulous, as per usual with this illustrator. And the author pulls together a wonderful summary of the story of Peter and how much Jesus loved him.

Lovely story about how Jesus offers Peter unconditional forgiveness and friendship. A little bit old for my three year old but will be great for him to grow into and such an important message for him to hear over and over again

We love this book! Very well written and illustrated.

story very well told....illustration really engaging
