Follow Me: Peter Lays Down His Net

What a wonderful retelling of the death and resurrection of Christ based on the four Gospels! It is magnificently illustrated and poignantly delivered. The author tells the story of Peter, his willingness to follow Jesus, his denial of Christ and ultimate forgiveness in a way that children can easily comprehend. Pick up a copy of this book, add a hand-written note, and it makes an excellent Baptism gift! Side note: The dedication that the author makes to his 2 sons is a treasure as well! I think that every parent should demonstrate that same love.

Erik Rottmann's Follow Me: Peter Lays Down His Net is a superbly crafted picture book rendition of the story of Easter as seen through the eyes of Peter. When Jesus called to Peter, Peter followed across land and sea, into towns and cities, and to the hill where Jesus died, in order to bring forgiveness for the sins of Peter and every other human being upon the Earth to this day. Strong, boldly painted color illustrations with thick black lines add an unforgettable presence to this powerful and recommended picturebook rendition of the story of Jesus Christ's great sacrifice.
