Use cases

The Sword is suited to children ages 8–12 who are reading a Christian children’s book or studying the Bible. In the story, siblings Katana and Brant find a wooden sword and an ancient journal belonging to Magnus, a former gladiator who became a guard watching over the apostle Paul during his house arrest. Their quest to uncover the mystery of the swords unfolds through Magnus’s journal and its study of Romans.

Families can read The Sword aloud together and use its Bible-study format as part of family devotions. Young readers follow Katana and Brant as the study presents the bad news of sin and the good news of rescue through the cross of Christ.
