Once Upon This Time

If we believe in a good and powerful God, then what prevents us from believing in the kind of magic found in fairy tales? These timeless tales of heroic deeds, eternal love, and a touch of magic have been passed down through the generations because they fill us with love, hope, and the courage to change. These five short stories are classic tales retold with the trials and struggles of today’s world and the power of the Holy Spirit. Whether it’s romantic love or familial love; caring for parents or children; or our own internal struggles, Christ can enter into every life and turn fantasy into reality.
