A Few Testimonials:

 “You have done so much for me by writing these books. Your words have pulled me through times of depression, suicidal thoughts, and anger at God. Your characters came to life and were an absolute comfort to me. My favorite poem of yours is the song of love from Elohim to Sapphira Adi. I have it on my wall and read it whenever I am feeling sad.” – Logan B.

“I have read all three series including and stemming from Dragons in Our Midst. I loved them and how they highlight that we are called to suffer for Christ. … I have passed these books on to my 3 children, 16 yrs. old and my twin 13 year olds. They are the key that has gotten my 13 year old son to be a reader. He reads and reads until he finishes one book and goes straight into the next. I am thankful for the message in them of the cost to follow Christ and the power of Christ to work in our lives to impact the world. … I keep telling other parents and students about them as well, especially for boys that are not interested in reading.”  – Missy M., a homeschool Mom who is careful what her kids read

“Six years ago, we were reading the Candlestone. We finished the couple chapters of family reading for the night, said prayers and went to bed. But I was so restless and couldn’t sleep. The image of the Candlestone’s torment alluding to Hell got me thinking about the reality of Hell. I was convicted that night that Hell was real, and a place that I deserved to go to because I knew I had sinned. So I went back upstairs to talk to my parents and they explained the Gospel to me. This time, I understood it, and I repented and put my trust in Jesus.” –  Megan C.

“I also want to thank you for providing my childhood and young adult years with stories of adventure, love and Christ. When I began reading the Dragons in our Midst series I was not a believer. Reading about Bonnie’s faith in the first book lead me to search after God. I believe that Billy, Walter and Matt were some of the best examples of chivalry I could have asked for.” –  Benjamin V.
