Contained in this little book is a big story. A really big story. It's an adaptation of the Japanese folktale Momotaro, the Peach Boy. This adaptation is like no other because it presents the gospel message found in the Bible. In other words, it presents the good news about Jesus and the way to be saved.
Historically, it is a common thing for missionaries to adapt a folktale from the culture in which they are engaged in so that the culture can better understand the Gospel message.
Contained within the pages of this adaptation are beautiful illustrations that bring the tale to life, not to mention a very intriguing story about the author himself. As you read The Gospel According to Momotaro, the Peach Boy, do not be surprised if you are blessed and even challenged in your faith.
