BISHOP ENDORSED
Bishop of Toledo: Most Reverend Daniel E. Thomas“The Seven Deadly Dragons book series is a highly creative thoughtful tool for parents to train their children in striving for sainthood by identifying the temptations that confront them and practicing the virtues that overcome them. This series also illustrates how grace from the Sacraments operates in engaging the battle for holiness. I heartily recommend this series for anyone tasked with teaching the moral life to children.”
Common questions
What parents ask us most before they order.
Still have a question?
419-731-3518 info@extraordinarymission.comA real person on our team will get back to you.
How are these Catholic?
Catholic prayer and devotion run through every book: the rosary, the sacraments and the saints. Each book carries the Permission to Publish from Bishop Daniel Thomas of the Diocese of Toledo, so the series has been reviewed for faithfulness to Church teaching.
Is the Lust book appropriate for kids?
Yes. Book 7 is about chivalry and self-sacrifice, and there's nothing in it that isn't appropriate for kids. We still suggest reading it yourself first, then using it to start the chastity conversation with your kid. Plenty of parents talk about exactly this in the Amazon reviews.
What age is this for?
Ages 7 to 13, the same age as Rolland. It's also a great family read-aloud. Parents and older siblings tend to get pulled in too, and the stories open up good conversations.
Paperback or hardcover?
Same seven books either way. The paperback set comes in a protective slipcase and is the one most families read to pieces. The hardcover is the gift edition, made to be handed down, and it ships free.
What if it's not right for our family?
Send it back within 30 days for a full refund. No hard feelings.
How fast does it ship?
Orders ship from Ohio in 1 to 3 business days. Shipping is free on orders over $100.
