The Friend who Forgives by Dan Dewit

Illustrated by Catalina Echeverri

he Friend Who Forgives by Dan DeWitt is a powerful and reassuring Christian children’s book that tells the true Bible story of Peter denying Jesus—and Jesus’ incredible response of love, grace, and forgiveness.

Through clear and compassionate storytelling, the book helps children understand that even when we make serious mistakes, Jesus never stops loving us. When Peter makes the wrong choice and feels ashamed, Jesus welcomes him back with forgiveness instead of anger. This shows young readers that Jesus is a faithful friend who forgives again and again.
