Dear Bryan Davis
Eight years ago on my sixteenth birthday I was given a copy of you book “Raising Dragons”, I loved the book and I sent you an e-mail letting you know how much I had enjoyed your book and how I could not wait to read the next one, You could have sent a short reply thanking me, but you didn’t , you had taken the time to reply, and every e-mail I sent you after that you answered.
I don’t know if I told you how much that meant to me, I didn’t have an outreach for youth where I lived and my churche’s Youth Minister was my mother, so you can tell why I did not enjoy Youth Group.
But your e-mails showed me the type of person I wanted to be, not just an author but I leader, I went into Youth Ministry because you modeled the type of Christen I wanted to be.
Looking back, in my youth I was in danger of loosing a hard battle with depression and suicide, I didn’t think anyone would ever want to hear my questions and ideas, but the day I received your reply to my e-mail was a call back for me. I found the Christ I lost.
1 Peter 4:10-11
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.”
Thank you for your gift of words
Yours in Fellowship
