What Readers Say

We've received thousands of comments from all over the world. Here are just a few:

Dave R.

“I wish I was half as cool as Mike (Danford) and his friends when I was 17! Love how traditional family values are threaded throughout the story, and Mike and his friends act extremely respectful to the adults and truly care for each other.”

Maria S.

“My children absolutely love (the Jotham) series . . . Very entertaining and always a good lesson to learn. Good for all ages. My 18 year old down to my 1 year old all love our nightly reads of series before Christmas. It’s one of our best traditions! Parts of the story literally gave me goosebumps and made me tear up!”

"I love your books! The Mike and Josh books are so good. I love the saying, "There's Nothing Wrong with doing Right." It has helped me through a lot. Thank you for including Christianity. It has helped me grow in my faith. My family and I also enjoy the Christmas series books and the Easter series. Every Christmas we will go through each book, and we are always excited."

Sarah B.

"Like so many, our family has made your stories part of our traditions. I've also found that reading through the Bible with our 4 kids throughout the year, they are that much more engaged and understanding of Biblical culture after diving deep into your stories."

Kevn C.

“These books make you think and ponder truth about scripture, God, and yourself. Even after reading these books many years over, the story still leaves us at the end feeling like all wrongs will someday be made right.”

Carrie M.

"I just finished reading Jotham's Journey aloud to our youngest who is 11 for her first time. With tears running down our cheeks and our hearts swelling with joy and amazement, we felt like we were there for Christ's birth!  It's the most exciting and realistic Christmas story written (except for the first one)!  I can't wait to tell her in the morning that I have the next one in the basement AND there is an Easter one that we can order and plan to read. This has always been one of my favorite times with the kids (oldest is 27) during the Christmas season. I am sure that it will be a book my youngest will share with her family too by the look on her face tonight! Thank you for sharing your story to help us tell THE story to our own children!  Blessings!"
