Dear Mr Bryan,
I am simply welling up with emotion. I am halfway through the Bones of Makaidos, and as I am reading of the remarkable accounts of faith, I have on more than one occasion found my mouth hanging wide open. I am finding my self singing Amazing Grace with Ashley, weeping for Sapphira and Bonnie, and raging at the thoughts of a Vacant stabbing Listener, the sweet little girl that never did anything.
I think of how powerful one’s faith in God must be to create such an astonishing, heartwarming legacy. You are one of my greatest role models, and your books cleanse my heart of any doubt and any impurities. They are more than literature.
These books are spiritual motivators, my Companions that guide me when I am unsure what to decide.
I would very much like to meet you, and I am wondering when you are coming to Maryland next.
Lastly, I need to know if you are going to continue writing adolescent books. I would be simply overjoyed if you continued the DIOM and Oracles of Fire series, but since I doubt this will happen, I just wanted you to know how much of an impact you have made on my life.
Your fellow believer in Jehovah Yasha,
Michael S.
