Welcome to the richly imagined world of Erith, where ancient biblical stories take on the sweeping wonder of myth and fairy tale. 

In this imaginative and faithful collection, author R.J. Sheffler reintroduces Scripture through the lens of epic storytelling—where dragons fly, kings dream, warriors rise, and the stars themselves sing of creation and redemption.

With tales drawn from both the Old and New Testaments—including the Fall of Satan, Adam and Eve, Queen Esther, Ruth and Naomi, Hannah, the Tower of Babel, and the Life of Christ—this book invites readers ages 9–15 to encounter God’s Word with new wonder and depth. Each story is brought to life with breathtaking full-color illustrations by Michelle Carlos, adding visual beauty to spiritual truth.

Whether read aloud as a family or treasured by young readers on their own, the book offers a unique blend of fantasy and faith, awakening the imagination while grounding hearts in the timeless power of God’s story.
