Publisher's summary

Becoming a dragon is a dangerously subtle process: a series of seemingly small choices add up until our hearts and skins are hardened, and we don’t recognize ourselves in the mirror. If you’ve ever felt like you aren’t who you used to be, or who you’re supposed to be, there is a way out.

Jim Burgen was a preacher’s kid who grew up loving church, until it felt like one day, he realized he was an adult who didn’t. He’d burned out and was full of questions. An encounter with C.S. Lewis’ Voyage of the Dawn Treader introduced him to Eustace, a little boy whose greed and hurt turned him into a dragon. He couldn’t un-dragon himself, no matter how hard he tried. Only one person could: the good lion, Aslan. That day, Burgen’s life changed forever.

With conversational, vulnerable, and oftentimes humorous language, Burgen takes us on a journey through the remarkable process of Jesus saving him from himself, and how that can be true for you, too. He wrestles with more-than-surface-level questions, like:

  • Why don’t I like most churches?
  • What does the bible really say about how we should interact with people Christian culture have labeled “other?”
  • Where is God in difficult times?
  • Is Jesus the only way you can “un-dragon” yourself?

Whether you’re trying to figure out this whole Jesus thing, or you’ve been in church all your life but you’re still full of questions, this approachable book is for you.

Well-written tale of timeless struggle to overcome

Jim’s transparent look at the desire (and struggle) to be more than what his experiences in this world “made” him, helped him create a book relatable to both men and women. His vulnerability, and genuine love of God illuminates his good heart which embraces truth coupled with grace. And his story-telling adds colorful layers and comic relief to a challenging subject.

Excellent Truth about the love and grace of Jesus for all!

Highly recommend this book for anyone, especially those who feel unworthy of the grace and mercy of Jesus, the lost and broken, and the struggling. Well, basically everyone. Excellent heartfelt truth,

I love that I can relate to Jim's story

Great book! I am a member of Flatirons Church. I really enjoyed this book. I always like how God uses Jim to make the Bible relatable to us. suppose that's why I continue to go. Many times I've sat in church and God has reached me through Jim's teachings. this book is no different.
