Why I’m Not supporting Brave Books
At first, I was excited about Brave Books. It claimed to stand for truth, morality, and values that align with conservative and family-friendly living. But after reading more closely, I’ve made the decision not to support the series—and here’s why.
Wizards Portrayed as Good
In one of the books, there’s a place called Wizard’s Way, and a wizard is introduced as a good character—possibly even connected to the power or wisdom of Freedom Island. That’s a problem.
As a Christian, I believe God clearly warns against all forms of witchcraft and sorcery. Wizards and magic are not fun or harmless themes—they’re spiritually dangerous, and Scripture never paints them as good.
“There shall not be found among you… a wizard.” — Deuteronomy 18:10–11, KJB
When children read stories where wizards are heroes, it subtly blurs the lines between right and wrong, between God’s truth and spiritual deception.
🙏 No Mention of God
The other concern is that for all its talk of values, Brave Books never points to God. There’s no Gospel, no mention of Jesus, no true foundation for righteousness. It might promote good morals, but morality without Christ is powerless to save.
Final Thought
We don’t need a magically world... We need truth. We need the Gospel. I’d rather give my children books that clearly teach what’s good according to God’s Word, and show where true power comes from—Jesus Christ, not wizards or imaginary forces.
So no, I won’t be buying Brave Books. Not because I’m legalistic, but because I care about what shapes the hearts and minds of the next generation.
