There are so many options with this book, I’m not really sure where to start.  Dragons of the Bible pulls together twenty-two verses from the Bible that talk about dragons.  (Did you know there were that many?)  They’re presented several different ways, and that gives you a number of different options for putting the book to use.

Use the List of Dragon Verses

The first option is to simply use the list of verses.  I think it’s worth it just for the compilation!  Evolutionists tend to have this obnoxious circular logic with regard to dragons; it goes something like this: Dragons aren’t real, therefore everything that was ever written about dragons was mythical fiction.  All the stories about dragons are mythical fiction, therefore we have no evidence that dragons were ever real.  What?!

The truth is, there are some writings about dragons that are clearly not from sources intended to be “story.” There are news reports and such from as late as the late 1800’s.  (!)  So were all the dragons in stories really mythical, or were they understood to be actual creatures?  You decide.

As you study the topic, you might want to consider the Biblical evidence!  There are a few verses here that are symbolic, but there are also verses that a plain reading will show that certain “dragons” (whether referred to by that name or not) were viewed as “any other animal.”  It’s a fascinating study.

Use the Copywork

(For young writers or for slightly older ones.)  Copywork is provided for every verse in manuscript writing and then in cursive.  I don’t know about you and your kids, but I would find my handwriting practice a lot more interesting if I were reading & writing about dragons!  My guess is this would be particularly helpful for those boys who are hard to motivate to write.

Keep the Little Ones Occupied

The dragon images in the book are also offered as coloring pages.  I find coloring pages an excellent option for keeping little fingers busy while we’re reading aloud.  (It’s easier for them to listen if their hands are busy with something that doesn’t keep their thoughts too busy.)  It can also be a good way to help the little ones feel involved when their older siblings are doing the copywork.

Make Use of the Coloring/Notebooking Pages as Resources

Finally, the pages are all available as decorated notebooking pages.  Use these – and/or the coloring sheets – as resources for your notebooks and shutterbooks.  They’re great for a study of dragons or dinosaurs, for fantasy story illustrations, for knights vs. dragons stories, etc.  They’re wonderful for enticing the imagination!

And…you guessed it…Dragons of the Bible is available as part of the Build Your Own Bundle sale this week.  But don’t miss it!  The day after tomorrow (Monday) at midnight, the sale is over.  So grab it; quick!
