Description

This must-read for every Dragon Slayer or Dragon-Slayer-to-be, is Sir Wyvern Pugilist’s long-awaited guide to the Bible for kids. By retelling key stories from the Ancient Manual (aka the “Bible”), he guides reader through the Manual’s puzzling network of crisscrossing tunnels, stopping to excavate its caves, and eventually shines a brilliant light on the treasures hidden deep within its chambers—the answers to your questions about slimy, disgusting dragons, and why we’re here with them, and where to find rescue from their deathly clutches. Read his manual alongside the Ancient Manual—and you will never be the same.

You will not want to put this manual down once you pick it up!

Advance Praise

"Sir Wyvern Pugilist is a masterful storyteller...and this is the greatest story ever told. It will inspire you to be a great dragon slayer." —Dr. John R. Wood, author of Ordinary Lives Extraordinary Mission

Never have I been so impressed by a book that is steeped in religion and intended for young readers. Secrets of the Ancient Manual Revealed is a masterpiece written by a gifted author who clearly knows the secret of how to make the sacred teachings of the Bible come alive in a most meaningful and captivating manner. Highly recommended for Dragon Slayers of all ages! —William C. Hammond, author of The Cutler Family Chronicles

Drawing from a rich and fabulous literary tradition, Joyce Denham's Secrets of the Ancient Manuscript Revealed employs dragons to engage readers with the story of the Bible. In this imaginatively compelling work, Denham's Sir Wyvern Pugilist, dragon slayer extraordinaire, invites young and old alike to unlock the secrets of the Ancient Manuscript--and in so doing, to become more deeply familiar with the Christian story of creation, fall, and redemption. I encourage parents to introduce their children to Sir Wyvern. In his capable hands, dealing with dragons adds up to a winsome course in spiritual formation and biblical literacy. —Lori Goetz, Coordinator for Children's Ministry, Messiah Episcopal Church.

Featured Reviews

This book is very unique and I am glad that I received is from Net Galley free in exchange for honest review. It is written for children and tells common Bible stories with a twist in that the narrator is a dragon slayer. I initially received this book as a Kindle book but am so impressed I plan to buy the paperbook copy so my child can enjoy it in full color. This is the second book in a series and I plan to get both. I definitely recommend this book.
