If your family has never discussed the impetuousness of the apostle Peter, this book amusingly does just that, while remaining true to Scripture. His rash and quick responses are eventually tempered as he matures in his faith, and his gratitude for the ultimate forgiveness from God is compelling.

There’s a nice additional page in the back that points readers to various Scriptures helpful in understanding the story and its message.
