Sinopsis

So, you want to be a Dragon Slayer, do you? This book teaches you how! 
Sir Wyvern Pugilist’s adventurous guide prepares young people to engage the snarly and slimy monsters (temptations and obstacles) presently inhabiting our world. Lest you think, however, that this is a manual for anyone casually contemplating a match with one of the dreaded reptiles, read on! Pugilist, Slayer of a Thousand Dragons, reveals that the Art of Dragon Slaying requires ongoing dedication and is the challenge of a lifetime. And he pulls no punches.

Alternately yelling and cajoling, pleading and flattering, he does whatever it takes to grow his students into bona fide Slayers. BUT BE CAREFUL: Dragon drool is dangerous—and slippery! So, this book is for those who are most serious about facing the behemoths head-on. ONLY FEAR NOT: Sir Wyvern includes the essentials on spiritual armor and powerful prayers to ward off even the most vicious attacks.
 
Dragon Slayers: 

  • Helps kids discover the exciting and compelling message of the Bible—a universal message of present dangers and eternal rescue.

Acerca de los autores

Joyce Denham is the author of many internationally-published books for children and adults on Celtic Christianity, prayer, and the lives of the saints. A literature teacher by training and profession, she pursues her lifelong passion for Biblical Literature, lecturing in churches and other venues. Through unfolding the Bible's ancient stories, histories, and poems, she invites listeners into an astonishing world of human and divine drama. Most Sunday mornings, you'll find her at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, Edina, MN, where she teaches Compass, her Adult Formation class on the Jewish and Christian Scriptures.

Her new book Dragon Slayers: The Essential Training Guide for Young Dragon Fighters, Based Wholly on the Practices of the Great Dragon Slayers of Old and the Wisdom of their Ancient Manual (coming May 6, 2025, by Paraclete Press) introduces kids to Christian faith through an imaginative world of dragons and Dragon Slayers, told by a fictitious (and cranky!) narrator, Sir Wyvern Pugilist. Under Sir Wyvern's tutelage, children learn to courageously face the fears, temptations, and inevitable obstacles that confront them in this Land of Dragons. Through Pugilist's urgent voice (both serious and humorous), we hear Joyce Denham's own concern for today's children and the problems with which they wrestle. In short, while creating fun, she takes kids seriously.

Joyce lives with her husband, Pete, in Minneapolis, MN, dividing her time between lecturing, writing, leading spiritual retreats, and planning pilgrimage tours to monastic sites in England and Scotland.
