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.
