How To Train Your Dragon

Humorist Celine Sparks offers a 13-week study on the smallest, strongest muscle in the body: the tongue, which she labels ''dragon.'' How to Train Your Dragon is full of fun and facts from the Good Book to challenge the reader in tongue-control and offer solutions of encouragement and comfort.

Celine points out, ''James chapter 3 talks about an unruly and untamable beast.'' She says the dragon leaves invisible wounds, internal scars, and has a velocity that can crush your spirit before you can duck. Celine says, "We can ponder how something so small can wreak havoc of Titanic proportions. But it's nothing James didn't already ponder two thousand years ago."

With humor and candor Celine steps all over your dragon, with tips to help your dragon beg, laugh, teach, fetch, sit, and more. Your dragon will come out of this training with a new ''leash'' on life. Each chapter is followed by ''The Tail End,'' which are true experiences - no one could make these up - that will split your sides. But it's not long until she wipes that grin off your face with sobering truths, such as a need to share the gospel - fetch one! Or the time to be silent - sit! She motivates you to respond in the ''Training Points'' or discussion questions. Laugh and learn, turn pages of your worn Bible and mark them up if it helps. But hold on to your dragon; it's going to be a wild 13-week ride!
