Book Review of Peter's Miracle

Does Jesus really see me?

Most of us have found ourselves asking that question, or something rather like it. If we do believe that Jesus knows us – our hopes and strengths, our fears and our failings – we find ourselves asking:

Can Jesus really use me?

These are the poignant questions Cheryl Creamer Merrill seeks to answer in her illustrated children's book: Peter's Miracle. The story focuses on one of the miracles of Jesus, and brings out a fresh truth from this well-known scripture.

The artwork by Bethaney Abercrombie is absolutely beautiful, and there are thirteen full page illustrations to captive your child.

Peter's Miracle was a hit with my six-year-old son! It is the perfect length for a bedtime snuggle and a talk about how Jesus know and loves him. I found my throat thickening as the author brought the story to fullness with this wonderful line:

"Then Peter knew, if the Master knows this of a fish, surely He knows what is inside me. And He can make what is inside of me, be enough."

I found myself holding onto this precious truth for a long time after. This is the best kind of story, one that can touch kids and adults both.

Though there were a few spots where I found the writing style could have been polished a little more, the message of bright hope shone clearly through!

Some of the beautiful artwork!
