Dear Mr. Davis,
First of all I just want to tell you that your books are amazing; I can tell that they are annointed by God. These books have helped me with things like relying on God for everything and trusting him even when things get rough. I constantly find myself identifying with Bonnie and Billy (naturally Bonnie more). The Friendship they have with the professor is very much like many friendships I have with adults. One in particular is my voice and piano teacher Kim Trisel I guess you could say she is my “Professor Hamilton”. She always seems to know exactly what to do in tough situations and she is always exactly what i need her to be, whether it is a stern teacher or a kind comforter. I can always trust her to help me see God in all situations.
For instance; I was recently in Edmond, Oklahoma visiting my Grandma and Grandpa Deese (while there i bought the first book in the series and finished it) and found out that my grandma has cancer. I was very distressed and the first thing I decided I needed to do was call Kim who calmed me down and prayed with me. I told you this story for two reasons; the first is because I wanted to demonstrate Kim’s “professor-like” qualities and also to show that reading these books at the time kept my focus on God. This series has a special place in my heart because I live in West Virginia; I was born in Oklahoma (where my grandma lives) but I’ve lived here almost my whole life. They make me feel like this poverty stricken wet state is special after all, and they give me pride for my home. Therefore, leading up to the reason I am emailing you.
If by a miracle of God these books get made into a movie i would be more than happy to be involved somehow, I know this is an odd thing to randomly email an author about, however, i feel like these books really need to be made into movies, they would be a marvelous message to our hopeless world and it’s about time the Christians started pumping out some amazing movies to combat the terrible crap they are putting in movie theaters everyday. ( I’m sure that’s a run-on sentence, sorry) I started thinking about it when I read the comments in the front of the book by fans and saw that a kid thought they should be movies. I’ve been thinking about it ever since, when I read The Candlestone I couldn’t help thinking of myself playing Bonnie when she is singing in the candlestone simply because I sing when I am afraid i typically sing “I Love You Lord” or another song called “I Will Exalt You,Lord” I feel led to type the words so here goes…..
Chorus I will exalt you, Lord
In the beauty of your holiness oh
I will exalt you, Lord
In the beauty of your holiness
I lift up my voice with all of my heart
For it is my choice to make the praise start
For only you alone are high upon the throne
Chorus
Your glory comes down and the demons all flee
Your healing blood speaks and the captives are free
and all of us are changed by the glory of your name
Chorus
I felt like this song is very similar in message to your books and I just want you to consider trying to get this made into a movie, even if I can’t be involved I would certainly love to see these books on screne. Please inform me if anything comes up, and I would be delighted to get a reply with your opinion.
Thank you for reading and God Bless You !!!!
