Many boys tend to be drawn to books about evil monsters, epic battles in space, fire-breathing dragons, and planets exploding into smithereens. Our kids are drawn to magical stories about fantastical creatures and worlds beyond our own.
Are stories about fantastical creatures and magical places safe for our kids to read? Do they have value in the lives of our children?
Find out in this episode of Redeeming the Chaos.
We have a special guest on the show today who is a bit of an expert on fantastical stories.
E. Stephen Burnett explores fantastical stories for God’s glory as publisher of Lorehaven.com and its weekly Fantastical Truth podcast. He coauthored The Pop Culture Parent and creates other resources for fans and families, serving with his wife, Lacy, in their central Texas church. Stephen’s first novel, Above the Circle of Earth, a science-fiction adventure, launches in 2025 from Enclave Publishing.
Land of Giants, book 2 in the Dragon Slayer Bible Series, is available to order through Kickstarter. Campaign ends October 23, 2025, 5:00 pm Eastern.
