Christopher & Christina Meet Peter: The Fisherman Who Followed Jesus

Peter has an unforgettable story to tell. He was an ordinary fisherman who once worked all night without catching a single fish. Then Jesus called him to try again, and everything changed. Peter followed Jesus, witnessed incredible miracles, stepped out of a boat and walked on water, and learned what it means to trust God even when fear takes over.

But Peter also made mistakes. He denied Jesus three times and thought he had failed beyond repair. Yet Jesus did not give up on him. After His resurrection, Jesus met Peter on the beach, shared breakfast with him, and lovingly restored him.

Through Peter’s story, children discover powerful lessons about faith, courage, forgiveness, friendship, and the unfailing love of Jesus.

With an engaging time-travel adventure, Bible-based storytelling, a simple prayer, discussion questions, a Bible verse to remember, and a drawing activity, this book gives families a wonderful opportunity to explore Peter’s story together.

A heartwarming Christian story that reminds every child: when you fall, Jesus is still there to catch you—and when you fail, He still calls you His friend.
