Travel back in time to the kingdom of Terrestria, a land where knights and their ladies live in castles and where dragons still roam (occasionally). The Terrestria Chronicles allegory series was written with a three-fold purpose: to honor Jesus Christ as King, to challenge young readers to love and serve Him, and to teach them to guard their hearts for Him. The focus of the series is always on the King. This is not Narnia; this is not Lord of the Rings. The Terrestria Chronicles were written to honor Christ and be as true to Scripture as possible. Some readers have compared the Terrestria books to The Pilgrim's Progress, though this series is much more readable, relevant, and action-packed than Bunyan's classic work. Written for ages ten and up, the Terrestria series is ideal for family devotions, classroom use, or individual enjoyment. When Princess Gilda and Prince Selwyn refuse the offer of a gift forbidden by King Emmanuel, Prince Josiah accepts, not realizing that his actions will impact the Castle of Faith. For a time, the young prince is able to conceal his act of treachery, and it seems that all is well. But when a Cararian Greatwing, the fiercest of dragons, begins terrorizing the kingdom, Josiah learns too late that he is powerless to control the beast that he has unleashed upon Terrestria. This fifth adventure in the Terrestria allegory series will challenge the reader to guard his or her heart for the King.

Review
The Biblical principles that are taught in this book are sound and I found the allegories in each story helpful in showing me a new way to look at the lessons in the Bible. I don't want to give any specific examples, but I loved the way that the author takes modern day items and ideas and shows how they are Satan's tools for trying to draw us away from our Lord. We are encouraged over and over again to make Christ our first priority and shown the value of doing so. My favorite book was The Great War which tells the story of the book of Revelation in terms that a child can understand. It is the final book in the series and depicts the greatness of our King, leaving a lasting impression in my mind. I thought about this book for several days afterwards. I plan to read this series with my son as his Bible study during our upcoming school year. We will go through one book monthly, reading and discussing each story and learning more about our King of kings and Lord of lords! I know that he will be enraptured by the fantasy setting and able to identify with Josiah. I have read a modified children's version of The Pilgrim s Progress with my children, but I believe that The Terrestria Chronicles are much easier to understand while getting many of the same points across to the reader. They are definitely more action-packed! I highly recommend this series for all families ... it will open up a whole new world of understanding of what it means to be a son or daughter of our wonderful King! - Product Review by Kris Price, Assistant to the Publishers, The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, LLC --The Old Schoolhouse Magazine

A great fifth book in a great series!,
By
This review is from: Terrestria Chronicles - The Dragon's Egg (Perfect Paperback)
The Dragon's Egg is the fifth book in the Christian fiction series, The Terrestria Chronicles. This is a seven-book series which consists of the following books:
#1 Terrestria Chronicles -- The Sword, the Ring, and the Parchment #2 Terrestria Chronicles -- The Quest for Seven Castles #3 Terrestria Chronicles -- The Search for Everyman #4 The Crown of Kuros : An Allegory ( The Terrestria Chronicles, Book 4 ) #5 Terrestria Chronicles - The Dragon's Egg #6 Terrestria Chronicles - The Golden Lamps #7 Terrestria Chronicles - The Great War It is not entirely necessary to read this series in order, but reading it in order will help to eliminate any confusion, and one will more fully enjoy the series in this way. The series' main character is Josiah, and he is prominant in every one of the books, although in book six, The Golden Lamps, he doesn't show up until about halfway through the book. This series is an allegory about the Christian life somewhat similar to John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress in that it starts with Josiah accepting Christ (in this book series, He is always called, Emmanuel) as his savior, and then following Josiah's life to its conclusion in Heaven. There is also a companion book to the Terrestria series called Visits to Terrestria/Study Guide. This is a study guide which will allow readers to more fully grasp the wealth of meaning in these captivating books. This series is then followed up by a companion series of stand-alone books set in the world of Terrestria called, "Tales From Terrestria". This series is planned to also be seven books, of which 3 have been released at the current time. The books in this series are as follows: #1 The Quest for Thunder Mountain (Tales from Terrestria, Volume 1) #2 The Golden Dagger - Amazon doesn't have this book in their system yet, but you can find it at Ed Dunlop's website. #3 (coming Spring 2010) #4 The Isle of Dragons (Tales From Terrestria) #5 (future) #6 (future) #7 (future)

Beyond exceptional!,

This review is from: Terrestria Chronicles - The Dragon's Egg (Perfect Paperback)
I had heard of the Terrestria series through an email loop I was on, but nothing that made me want to buy or look into the books any further. Then one day, a dear friend mentioned how much she had loved the series. Well.... I trusted her opinion and conservatively bought the first two books (just in case). We began reading and the first two we read as a family. They were too good though, and we went on to ordering the entire series. My daughter (11) read through the entire set at lightning speed and is now on her second journey through Terrestria. She was not much of a reader before this series, btw. The series is both exciting and thought provoking and as soon as I hear they are available in hard back form - I'm buying! This is the kind of series that should be passed down to each generation and will never be out-dated. No matter the age, the Terrestria Chronicles will provoke and inspire anyone! I think that's a guarantee :O)
5.0 out of 5 stars
A MUST READ for all young people!,

This review is from: Terrestria Chronicles - The Dragon's Egg (Perfect Paperback)
The TC series is the best set of books for young people I've ever read. When I read it aloud in the evenings to my children they BEG for me not to stop.
Exciting Stories! Sound doctrine! Spiritual truths throughout. Good for young people, adults as well as new converts. I can't give a higher recommendation! V.L. Huckaby - Father of six, Missionary
