About This Book

A simple retelling of a Gospel episode in which Jesus appears to disciples caught in a violent storm, walks on the sea, and rescues a disciple who steps from the boat in faith but falters when fear rises; the wind then ceases. The narrative draws a moral lesson for children about trusting Jesus in trouble, contrasts wavering and steadfast faith, and closes with a brief prayer and hymn verses asking for forgiveness, comfort, and the desire to be like and to be with Jesus.
