Hi! My name is Lexi, and I loved your series of Dragons in our Midst,Oracles of Fire, and Children of the Bard. I was wondering if you have wrote anymore books after The Seventh Door?
We’ll I’ll tell you a little more about myself. I have four brothers all younger. I am currently 11 years old. And LOVE your books!
Thank you very much Mr. Davis for you have encouraged me through your books like I could never imagine I was very upset when I had nothing more to read about Billy, Bonnie, Ashley, Matt, Lauren, Jared or Clefspeare, and the list never ends…I’m truly impressed how you created Walter,without him, the books would be so not humorous and dull! Loved the ideas for his jokes too. Thomas and Mariel were amazing characters too.
Well I hope to get a email back soon from you but no pressure! You have a good rest of the week Mr. Davis you deserve it! God bless you for using the King James Version Bible and including Jevovah-Yashi was truly amazing. I’m a Christian and hope you are too! Your an AMAZING AUTHOR!!!!!!!!!
Dear Mr. Davis,
You may not remember me, but I am Seth. You met me in Bolivar, TN at First Baptist Church for the Bethlehem Walk about three years ago. You talked more with my parents than with me because I was a part of the Walk.
After hearing that I had read a couple of your books, you sent me the whole Dragons In Our Midst series signed with your autograph. Anyways, what I wanted to tell you is just how much those books inspire me in my walk with Christ. Bonnie Silver is my favorite character, besides Sapphira, because of her spiritual purity.
There is no question about her faith and the way she lives it out in her life is simply astounding. I want for myself the faith that she so easily demonstrates in all situations. She has taught me that loving God is not only the confession of my lips, but also obedience to His will. Obedience is tough, yet Bonnie never shies away from danger.
I know that she is a fictional character, but I pray that I will one day believe as she does. Thank you so much for writing your books. They mean a lot to me.
I read the Children of the Bard series and it was fantastic and very inspiring. I’ve trusted someone who in the end betrayed me more than once. In fact, when I went to public school my classmates, the ones I thought I could trust, turned me in and blamed me for something I didn’t do. I don’t know what there problem was, but I trusted them countless times and in the end they chose to reject and despise me and I’ll never know why. They loved to get me in trouble and relished my pain just as Darcy had in the past. They made there choice and I’m fine with that. I have chosen to forgive them and move on just as Matt did. I pray for them everyday and hope they will receive the salvation they once rejected.
Anyways, my point is that I’m here to tell you how I handled it. In school I obviously couldn’t get away from my persecutors, and, I didn’t have the courage to stand up for myself. Jehovah Shammah was my savior, he delivered me from the grasp of my tormentors. The school did nothing when I came to them for help, I was alone but not completely. I still had God. I treated the bullies with kindness and compassion. I never cursed them, I never lied to them, and I never stopped praying for them. But I’m no saint, I was angry at them just like Matt was with Darcy. I have moved away from my anger now though. I doubted my classmates loyalty and many times feared to trust them when they spoke to me. Malice spiced there words, every time I trusted them they in the end betrayed me. I love your books, especially the Candle stone and Eye of the Oracle. I use to never write in journals or write stories, you were my inspiration.
Do what’s right, do what God calls you to write in Omega Dragon even when everyone else is against it. Your words are poetic and inspirational, you are the light that fills the souls of those who read your books. God has used you to do wondrous thing for your readers. You have and always will be my favorite Author. God bless you!
Dear Bryan Davis,
Your book series Dragons in Our Midst and Oracles of Fire really changed my life. In the very first book, when Billy finds out that Dr. Whitter is actually Devin in disguise, he meets Professor Hamilton who was working with Patrick in England. I felt somehow changed because of Professor Hamilton’s actions, how he was a strong Christian and always spoke the words of God and the Bible.
While reading this series, I felt closer to God, gaining more faith and trust in him. I felt as though I was going along with Billy while he learned from Bonnie on the many adventures they had including the Circles of Seven. That was the part that made me truly believe.
While in the sixth circle, when Bonnie gave the speech to Billy about going to heaven when she died did so much inside of me, I just can’t describe it. It’s kind of like gears that were turning inside of me when I was young, but then they just stopped when I turned away from God. The text in that scene helped to fix them, made them move a little slower. The rest of the books, from Raising Dragons to The Bones of Makaidos, made them spin faster and faster.
Once those gears were spinning, I turned to God and followed him, worshiped him, I’m not afraid of Satan who lurks all around the world. I know the lord is with me, until the end.
I just want you to know that I am reading The Seventh Door, and I find the relationship between Matt and Darcy to be particularly insightful into my relationship with my own sister.
My (much older) half sister was very abusive and violent when I was young. As a result, I have always been apprehensive around members of the opposite sex, and I have been (successfully) getting through various mental illnesses. And, needless to say, I am still uncomfortable around my sister, even though I now outweigh her by about a hundred pounds. Even though she has been making some minor progress over the years, (For example, instead of outright stealing from me, she just doesn’t pay me back any of the money she borrows) I still trust her about as far as I could throw a truck.
Anyway, reading about Matt’s struggle with how to act around/treat Darcy has been making me really think about my own relationship with my sister, and how she has affected me. More specifically, the book has given me a different angle on how to deal with my own inner demons. In the past, I’ve found ways to drown them out, and to drown my sister out. It was a way to survive. (Though now, as an adult, instead of hiding in a corner, I abused prescription antidepressants. But that’s another story…)
This book isn’t just another great read for me. This book (along with many other things and people of course) is helping me move past being that scared little boy hiding from a knife wielding homicidal sibling, towards being a man who can overcome old fears and finally let some of those deep psychological and spiritual wounds heal.
Thank you.
Mr. Davis,
I’ve read your books so many times, but I stopped after reading the DioM series through (all ten of them). I just started reading them again after a few months and it’s such a relief compared to other books. I know that I’m safe reading them and that I don’t have to worry about anything. Thanks so much for creating a safe reading environment for me. It’s like drinking a cool glass of water after being in the desert for days without water. Keep up the good work.

Hello Mr. Davis, my name is Chad. I just wanted to let you know that as a huge lover of fantasy I was thrilled when my mother bought me Raising Dragons. I have read Dragons in our Midst, Oracles of Fire, and am currently on the third book of Children of the Bard. These books have helped me a lot with my Faith and what it means to be a Christian. Haha the part in Tears of a Dragon where Bonnie talks about her trip to Heaven nearly made me cry. Thank you. The Lord bless you and keep you.
