Dragon Slayers is a unique combination of an imaginative field guide, Armor of God devotional, and biographies for ages 8-12. While engaging a child's imagination and sense of adventure, Dragon Slayers walks through several steps of the Christian faith. "The dragons we face" - this is what captivated my kids the most. This section of the book personifies many of the sins and struggles we face on a day-to-day basis. It helps put feelings and actions to emotions in a way that kids can understand. This is an immersive way to engage kids to grow in their knowledge of themselves and what it means to walk in a way that honors Christ. BookWorthy Book of the Month - Valerie Fentress, Author and Speaker
"Dragon Slayers reminds me of Pilgrim's Progress, transforming a life of faith into an epic adventure. It's fun but quite serious, and for those captivated by dragons it may do a world of good." -- Tim Stafford, award-winning author of more than 30 books, a regular contributor to Christianity Today and Campus Life magazines, and co-editor of The Student Bible.
"When Sir Wyvern Pugilist, the famed dragonslayer of old, puts out a clarion call for new warriors, sign me up! Dragon Slayers, The Essential Training Guide for Young Dragon Fighters is a charming, imaginative, and thoroughly inspiring manual, not only for battling fictional wyrms but also the real "dragons" that assail us all in life. Transformative truths and training for the young and young at heart!" -Wayne Thomas Batson, Bestselling Author of The Door Within Trilogy, The Myridian Constellation, and Outcast
"What a clever and engaging way to help young readers understand the real battle against sin and temptation! The author creatively equips children with the tools of our faith, showing them how to guard their souls and fight against evil by following the example of the saints that fought before us. A fantastic blend of imagination and spiritual truth, this book makes the reality of spiritual warfare both accessible and inspiring for kids." -- Casey Pawelek, Bestselling Author of Look and Learn
"This is a beautiful book in every respect. Denham's insight and intelligence shines through on every page, beautifully enhanced by Kister's artwork. Dragon Slayers is a delightful read for children and adults alike." -- Ross Lawhead, author and graphic novelist.
"Dragons are everywhere. They have always plagued our land. If you want to learn to recognize them and slay them, then Sir Wyvern's great manual, Dragon Slayers, is for you. Sir Wyvern has slain thousands of dragons and helped train thousands of slayers. I know, because I am one of them (not one of the dragons, one of the slayers.)" Sir Rolland Paterlot, author of the 7 Deadly Dragons book series, and president of the non-profit Extraordinary Mission (Sir Rolland is also known as John R. Wood, author of Ordinary Lives, Extraordinary Mission)
“What a great read-aloud book for your children - and you! So many discoveries and rediscoveries for both young and old. Each Dragon Slayer is a saint to emulate.”-- Barbara K. Olson, Ph.D.
"Yesterday, I gave Dragon Slayers to a 9-year-old who came into my store. I asked him to give me feedback to see how his age level reacted to it, and if he understood what he was reading. When I asked how he liked the book he said, "well I had an incident today with my little brother that was not very good, I was mean to him and realized I had to go slay a dragon." He said later that day, "I did just that and now know how these things work!" His mother asked me to save her two more copies when they come in so she can get them for her nephews too. I immediately called Paraclete Press and ordered 25 more Dragon Slayers. Without a doubt these young boys need the tools on how to slay dragons!!! What better time to educate them now for future battles!!!" – ST. JOSEPH'S SHOP, Indiana
“WOW, I read some of Dragon Slayers out loud to my 11-year-old, and he was hooked! I was looking through the dragon pages a little later and he literally begged me to print it out so he could read it on his own. I flipped through and am really intrigued by the way it was written and illustrated, as well as the historical people at the back. The whole thing is incredibly well done. So exciting. Thank you! I’ll definitely share about it.” – Instagram Homeschool Influencer
