Lew Anderson


Enter the mysterious realms of Loria . . . if you dare!

 

Epic Christian Fantasy for strong readers ages 11–16

 

If your kids enjoyed The Chronicles of Narnia but now want something more intense, more epic, they will love The Lorian Stones five-book series by Lew Anderson.

 

Winner of the IndieBRAG Gold Medallion & Readers’ Favorite Silver Award

 

These books model Biblical concepts, with themes such as perseverance, enduring hope, and relentless trust in God’s faithfulness.

 

Book One (Tombs of Dross)

After discovering a mysterious stone pillar, Isaac, Zac, and Breezy find themselves fighting for their lives in a strange and perilous world. Hunted by the immortal Lord Sasson, the teens forsake all to pursue an ancient quest in hopes of returning home. Together with some misfit rebels and a giant lynx named Nusa, they battle over land and sea while learning who they are and the ultimate sacrifice they must make.

 

Highly recommended as a compelling, delightful book for all those who love full-fledged fantasy adventure tales of hope and friendship in the midst of danger and trial.—Wayne Walker (Homeschool Book Review, Tombs of Dross)

 

“I wrote these stories for Christian kids who want heart-stopping, yet heart-warming action-adventure, which means there are scenes of danger and death. My goal is to inspire young readers that no matter how dark a day gets, they can anchor their trust in God, knowing He is for them and always has their back.”

Good and Right Publishing


More than half of daily Bible readers—and many homeschoolers—still use the venerable King James Bible which has been called the “greatest monument of English prose.” The daily readership of the KJV far surpasses any other modern version.


We started Good and Right Publishing two years ago to create resources for language arts with the KJV at the center of all our products. 


For younger kids, check out the Bible Verses for Handwriting Practice—KJV series. There are currently nine handwriting practice books in print suitable for elementary grades. Each book has verses chosen according to a certain theme and are available for both print and cursive writing styles.


Thanksgiving will be here in just a couple of months, and Good and Right Publishing offers two Thanksgiving activity books (one print and one cursive) that incorporate handwriting practice along with coloring, drawing, mazes, and other autumn themed pages.


For older kids (and their parents!), there is KJV Word Puzzles: King James Bible Vocabulary Practice. It is a unique variety word puzzle book designed to help readers learn the meanings of Bible words, including archaic words frequently encountered in the KJV Bible. It contains more than 100 puzzles and uses more than 1,600 Bible vocabulary words.
