THE FRIEND WHO FORGIVES FAMILY BIBLE DEVOTIONAL

Based on the passages referred to in the award-winning storybook, The Friend Who Forgives by Dan DeWitt, these 15 flexible, engaging family devotions explore what the cross means to us today through the story of Peter. Children will learn that Jesus is the friend who always forgives.

Ideal for Lent and Easter, these devotions can also be used whenever you want to explore during family discipleship Jesus' sacrificial love and what it means to follow him. Can also be used for homeschool.

Each session can be done in under ten minutes and is easy to lead. The sessions include a Bible study, reflection questions, and prayer prompts. There are also optional extras designed to engage older children, plus bonus puzzles and coloring activities for younger children. This resource is suitable for children from age five upward.

There is an accompanying colouring and activity book as well as a board book version for 2-4 year olds available for purchase.
