what readers are saying

Check out the following reviews from Amazon:

Yes… this is what I have been looking for!

A book like this is hard to come by! I’ve been searching for an engaging Bible study that would pique the interests of my children, and Rise of the Enemy does not disappoint.

If your children like action and adventure, they’ll love hearing truths from the Bible presented in this fun-filled, engaging Bible study. My kids were even asking some really deep questions.

Can’t Wait Till the Next Book!

My son could NOT put the book down. He read it every night before bed. When he finished it and tuned to the back cover and saw there was a second book on the way, he immediately told me “Mom!!! I must have the second book!”

The Perfect Devotional For Young Boys

It is impossible to state what a win this book is. My nine-year-old son is not an avid reader. He always has a baseball in his hand, rarely a book. But he couldn’t put this book down. Read it in five days straight. Absolutely loved it and is begging for the next book, which unfortunately isn’t out yet. We will buy the next book as soon as it comes out. He’s begging for it. This is the perfect devotional for young boys. It captures that God-given boyish desire for adventure, courage, nobility, and virtue. We are huge fans and are anxiously anticipating the next book in this series!

An Action-packed Devotional for Boys

The Dragon Slayer Bible Story series brings Scripture to life for boys with action-packed stories and devotions with clear calls to action. Laurie Christine’s goal to challenge and inspire boys in their faith comes out so clearly in this first book of the series. Highly recommend for the boys in your life!

Outstanding Book For Boys!

Boys love action and superheroes, and The Rise of the Enemy, A Dragon Slayer Bible Story is outstanding! Your child will not be able to put this book down. This battle story will inspire your boy to wear God’s armor and join in the battle and fight against evil, training them to stand firm against anything they will face today and in times to come. The storyline and the illustrations are outstanding! I highly recommend this book for parents, grandparents, teachers, and anyone raising the next generation to be strong warriors for Christ!

Great Book for Preteen Boys

My son enjoyed this book so much that he’s been reading it out loud to us during our family devotions. Would recommend to anyone with preteen boys.

Important Book

There is a shortage of devotional books appealing to pre-teen boys but Laurie Christine has hit a home run with Rise of the Enemy. She starts with a gripping story and then challenges boys to join the mission to slay the dragon. In preparation are the marching orders, lessons to equip boys in the knowledge of who God is and how to trust him for their strength as they oppose the evil enemy. I know some pre-teen girls who would love this book as well! I highly recommend this book.
