Peter and Jesus by a Charcoal Fire

Three times by a charcoal fire, Peter denied the Lord. But that’s not the end of the story. In Peter and Jesus by a Charcoal Fire, the relationship between Jesus and Peter is faithfully represented—from Jesus’ calling of Peter, to their close friendship throughout Jesus’ ministry, to Peter’s denial and later profession of faith in Jesus. As the narrative of Scripture unfolds, readers will discover the great love that Our Lord has, not just for Peter but for each of us. Is there anything His love won’t make new? Recommended for ages 5 and up.

Reading aloud with children is her favourite hobby.
