Episode 526: A Chat with Laurie Christine

Laurie Christine's Dragon Slayer Bible series is such a cool concept. Bible stories retold as fantasy elements? Yes, please  Listen in and learn what happens when Shem's father is too busy building a boat than to teach him the warrior skills he'll need.  note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.  This conversation was so cool. I really love what Laurie does with her imagination--finding ways to tell the stories that are somehow fantastical adventure tales AND open eyes to the themes in the Bible that sometimes kids miss in reading the stories.  That they're told as stories rather than Scripture helps keep confusion from setting in, which I also appreciate. Land of Giants: A Dragon Slayer Bible Story by Laurie Christine A secret alliance, A dangerous mission, A deadly enemy. Twelve-year-old Shem wants one thing—to become a warrior. But his father, Noah, is too busy building a giant ark to train him. The world mocks his family, and Shem is tired of feeling left out and embarrassed. He's ready to trade his tools for a sword and show the Cobras, the toughest gang in the city, that he's not just some weird kid with a crazy dad. When Shem makes a secret deal with the son of a family rival, he finally gets the training he's always wanted. But something isn't right. Monstrous giants called Nephilites have invaded the land. And the dragon they serve is more dangerous than Shem ever imagined. If Shem wants to protect his family, he'll have to learn what it really means to be a warrior. Land of Giants is an action-packed Biblical adventure, perfect for readers who long to battle dragons, defy giants, and discover the true strength that comes from the King.
