His books helped me really understand hope and faith. He is a Christian fantasy writer who is able to put faith, dragons, adventure, and love together in one inspiring book while a battle against good and evil, as old as time itself, rages on. I feel this wonderful, intelligent man has helped me find God everywhere in my life and helped me learn to hope and pray when conflict arises.<\/p>\n<p>When I received the first book of the series, I thought it was going to be a boring story that my mom bought me so I would learn more about God and faith in a way I wouldn\u2019t be able to completely understand, like the bible, so I didn\u2019t want to read it. One day I needed an A.R, or accelerated reader, book and started to read it and couldn\u2019t put the book down! I practically stopped watching TV, accept after I finished a book. I would always lay down on my futon, with a blanket and the door shut and read for hours with no stopping, not even for meals. I was up till 1:30 in the morning reading his books until my mom made me go to bed because it was a school night, or morning I should say. That was during Spring Break. When I read his books, I feel like I\u2019m in the story, right in the middle of the battle against good and evil.<\/p>\n<p>I now have all eight of Bryan Davis\u2019s books, which I now am able to read in a matter of a day or so. I am now very sad because I finished the last book of the series and am having a hard time finding a book with the same amazing qualities as Bryan Davis\u2019s books. Since I enjoyed Bryan Davis\u2019s books so much, I have decided to get my ten year old stepbrother to start the series as well. I don\u2019t think he goes to church enough, if at all, and I think it would be a great way to get God in his life through Bryan Davis\u2019s books. He would get bored at church, because of his age, anyway so I think this would be a much more fun and exciting way.<\/p>\n<p>I have decided to reread the series during Summer Break till I memorize every word. I hope whoever reads this will check out his website and read his books.<\/p>\n<p>I wish you would continue the series or even make your books into movies, but I know I may be asking to much. I hoping in Heaven there are an endless amount of books that either continue\u00a0your\u00a0series or books that are equally as good.<\/p>\n<p>Your biggest and #1 fan<\/p>\n<p>Natasha M.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m inspired by Bryan Davis, the man who wrote the Raising Dragons and Oracles of Fire series.
