The Way of the Dragon Slayer: 7 Reasons Men Need Brothers

by Danny Silk

Men were created and designed to be protectors, providers, and connectors. But we don’t step into these roles automatically. We must be initiated into manhood through the brotherhood of other men.

Tragically, brotherhood is becoming a lost art in our culture, and we see the effects all around us. Virtually every social problem we’re facing today, from family breakdown to the mental health crisis, drug crisis, porn addiction crisis, rising crime rates, and more are all expressions of a culture where men are orphaned, alienated from each other, and lacking purpose.

The Way of the Dragon Slayer is a road map for men to find their brothers in arms so they can face and conquer the fears that have always stood between them taking their place as providers, protectors, and connectors. These fears are the seven “dragons” that every man must slay in their primary relationships and realms of

Man with The fear of punishment, judgment, and unworthiness

Man with The fear of inadequacy, self-hatred, and disqualification

Man with The fear of rejection, disconnection, and betrayal

Man with The fear of competition, covenant, and sacrifice

Man with The fear of insignificance, vulnerability, and eternity

Man with The fear of failure, being out of control, and death

Man with The fear of lack, limitation, and comparison

Join Danny Silk and his “band of brothers” as they share their struggles, victories, and vision for a fatherless, brotherless generation to slay their dragons and find their place in a courageous culture of covenant friendships.

As someone who loves to read but has a hard time keeping the habit, the short breakdown of the chapters into digestible sections partnered with the activation for each chapter makes this book effective and inspiring. I also loved the final chapter that casts a vision and strategy for building momentum with 12 other men in an exponential approach. Although there were a lot of formatting errors, incorrect scripture citations and the book was falling apart by the end of it I’m grateful for this book and will be loving it out with 12 brothers and with my sons in the future!!

Lots to benefit from here especially the elements drawing from core KYLO principles. However, as a Londoner in a country where it is illeagal to carry a pocket knife, I didn't connect with much else in the book

The book was OK but I've read much better books aimed at men's ministry. The chapters seemed much longer than necessary. In addition to reading the book, our group also watched the videos of the author speaking about each chapter. Sorry, but the videos did not add much to the book.

Wonderful book that discusses biblical manhood and how to develop into a healthier man living after God's heart.

This book was good to read with my boys. If I was a lame and didn't have the boys, this book would not have been good. Some parts were corny, but the overall message was solid.

Big fan! Hope to return to this one with a group, as it is intended. These issues are deeply resonant, and affirming (I’m not the only one facing these insecurities and fears!) and challenging (face these fears and live in love!)
