Nick is angry, hurting, and tempted to run away after another fight with his mother. Instead of leaving, he receives a mysterious handwritten, leather-bound family book called Dragon Seed. As Nick reads, the family legend draws him into a parallel story about a young man living among the tombs who encounters Jesus. The two narratives unfold together to explore pride, spiritual darkness, and the hope of deliverance in Christ.
Written for middle-school and teen readers, Marty Machowski combines page-turning fiction with solid biblical teaching. The novel engages readers with a dramatic story while introducing the reality of spiritual warfare and the dangers of pride. Machowski emphasizes humility as a key defense against spiritual deception and offers a gospel-centered framework for understanding personal struggle.
Part One is a 24-chapter fiction story that follows Nick's struggles and family history. Part Two is a 12-lesson Bible study that helps teens, youth leaders, and parents connect the story's themes to Scripture. Dragon Seed is ideal for individual reading, family discussion, youth groups, Sunday school classes, and small-group study.
