Written under the playful pen name Sir Wyvern Pugilist, this imaginative handbook invites kids to see sin as dragons and faithful Christians as dragon slayers—equipped and led by the Chief Dragon Slayer, Jesus Christ. With humor, adventure, and engaging storytelling, the book presents the core truths of the Gospel in a way that resonates with children who love knights, weapons, and quests. A companion Study Guide is available to support leaders, teachers, or parents in using the book with individuals or groups. Especially suited for elementary and middle school students, it also makes a creative resource for First Reconciliation prep.
Why we recommend it:
The kerygma is proclaimed here through a lens kids love: good vs. evil, courage vs. fear, and the ultimate victory of Jesus, the Chief Dragon Slayer. By connecting sin, grace, and salvation to the adventure of slaying dragons, children are given both a vivid picture of the Gospel and practical tools to live it out. This resource not only teaches but invites kids into the story, making the message of Jesus’ saving love unforgettable and engaging.
