This Is No Fairy Tale

by Dale Tolmasoff and John Piper

Book Overview

Once Upon a Time…Fairy tales tell about brave princes and beautiful princesses, castles, giants, magic, and other amazing things. But this story doesn't need any of that. That's because this story is no fairy tale. But it's still amazing-and it's true. This book tells the story of Jesus Christ so you will see him for who he is-not a fairy-tale character, but God's Son and the one true Savior.

Customer Reviews

LOVE IT

great book! i love that it compares the truth of Jesus with the typical fairy tale.... how important/critical/absolutely vital it is for our children to know the truth!!! Great illustrations too! highly recommended! =)

Great book.

This book is great. It has some very interesting points that really make you think about the life of Christ.

Wonderfully profound book that children will love and remember!

This book wonderfully shows how the life of Jesus Christ is contrasted in the real world vs. the fake fairytale world. Children should know the difference and this book is a great tool to help them reason and differentiate between the make-believe and the real. The God of the supernatural came into our natural world and we are able to see Him interact within it in a very real and meaningful way. Dale Tolmasoff, Corbert Gauthier and Crossway Books have brilliantly shown this historical truth to the minds and hearts of children. I love this beautifully smart book! What a great concept!!

Teaching Children the Gospel

This is a great tool to help teach children the Gospel from a very early age. My 20 month old enjoys the format, and he is hearing the truth about Christ. A great alternative to most kids books out there. And by the way, this book won an Excellence in Media Award.

An amazing book for children and adults!

This is the only book that my 9 month old son will continue to pay attention throughout the entire reading. I love this book and its beautiful illustrations. I enjoy it as much for myself as for my son.
