The Serpent Slayer and the Scroll of Riddles

How can you introduce your children to the wonder of God’s Word? In The Serpent Slayer, Champ Thornton and Andrew David Naselli present a time travel adventure through the Bible. It is fun and exciting, with a great message for all.

Inside the Action

Written for ages 9-13, this book stars 12-year-old siblings Nomi and Emmet. They are transported away from their Coastal town of Lewis, and taken on a quest to solve a series of riddles.

What I most appreciated was the book’s ability to place you in the action of the Biblical story through the adventures of these children. They first meet Adam and Eve and are introduced to the deadly Serpent. They then transport to the Exodus story and escape from Pharoah’s armies.

The Stories Are Real

The book is also imaginative, allowing readers to see a different perspective in the Biblical narratives. Nomi and Emmet meet David right before he fights Goliath, and they meet the Teacher -- Jesus. They feel the sorrow and confusion of the Crucifixion, but also the joys and excitement of the resurrection.

Nomi and Emmet are changed throughout the course of their adventure. They learn to apologize, and they learn to forgive. And best of all, they learn that the Bible is true, that Jesus is good, and that the stories are real. I loved joining them on their adventure, and I joyfully invite you and your children to do the same.

I received a media copy of The Serpent Slayer and the Scroll of Riddles and this is my honest review.
