Fairy tales tell about brave princes and beautiful princesses,castles, giants, magic, and other amazing things. But this storydoesn't need any of that. That's because this story is no fairytale. But it's still amazing-and it's true. This book tells thestory of Jesus Christ so you will see him for who he is-not afairy-tale character, but God's Son and the one true Savior.
DALE TOLMASOFF received a BA from Wheaton College and an MDiv from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. He loves fairy tales, but even more he loves the greatest story ever told.

Excellent story, excellent illustrations,
By Liberty Speidel (Kansas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: This Is No Fairy Tale (Hardcover)
This Is No Fairy Tale is the story of Jesus from birth to resurrection.
What's different about this story of Jesus is it contrasts common fairy tale happenings with what actually happened in Jesus' life. For instance, with Jesus' birth, it's shown how things might have happened had He been born a prince in a royal kingdom. This contrasts with the fact He was born in a stable and no one knew about His birth, other than His parents and a few shepherds. What I Like: The comparisons made between fairy tales and Jesus' life are completely valid for young readers. Taking this approach to tell the story of Jesus is unique. In our culture where fairy tales are the norm, I think this book will help children understand the story of Jesus better. What I Dislike: Nothing. Overall Rating: Very Good.

Wonderfully profound book that children will love and remember!,
By dood (Here, ME) - See all my reviews
This review is from: This Is No Fairy Tale (Hardcover)
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!!
