Enoch's Ghost:
The second book in
the Oracles of Fire series has
shipped. Look for it to appear on your bookstore shelves sometime during the
month of July. Many stores in the Family Christian chain already have
them on their shelves. If your store doesn't have it, ask for it!
If you ordered Enoch's Ghost from me, you will see it
in your mailbox soon. I have shipped out everyone's order.
To whet your appetite, here is another review:
—Kevin Lucia, The Press & Sun Bulletin, A Gannett News Publication
As I mentioned last
issue, this is the long-awaited sequel to Dragons in our Midst. If you want to know what happened to
Walter, Ashley, Karen, and Thigocia after they set out on their search for lost
family members, this is the book for you. If you want to know what happens to
Sapphira Adi after Eye of the Oracle,
this is the book for you as well.

Hardcover version
of Dragons in our Midst and Eye of the Oracle:
Many people have asked me how to get my books in a hardcover version, because they read the DIOM books so many times, they wear out. Although a hardcover version isn't available from the publisher, I have some on hand. I sent some paperback copies away to be rebound in library binding. The result is a much more durable book. Although they aren't the super high quality you would expect from a traditional hardcover print run, they look really nice, and they will last much longer than the paperbacks. My children have been lugging them around in backpacks and on long trips, and they're holding up very well.
If you would like to buy one or more, you can visit my ordering page: http://www.daviscrossing.com/shopping.htm Click on the book you want, and you will see the option for buying the hardcover version. If you want to pay with check rather than credit card, go to http://www.daviscrossing.com/buybooks.htm
All four DIOM books are available as well as Eye of the Oracle. Enoch's Ghost is not yet available in hardcover.
Testimony Time: If you would like your testimony included in my newsletter, please let me know how the Dragons in our Midst series has improved your spiritual life. I'll choose one or more messages I receive during the month. Here are two that I recently received.
Testimony #1
Mr. Davis, I've been really inspired by your character, Bonnie Silver. I love how spiritual she is. In fact, I've renewed my relationship with God because of her. Her faith is so amazing. I'm amazed each time I read over her trials because she loves God so much. I've resolved to have a better relationship with God because of that.
Now, as I look at Bonnie's and Billy's characters, I want to serve the Lord as well as they do, and you, with your writing. I am a writer as well. My first great story idea was based off of Star Wars, but when I read your series, I wanted to serve God through my writing.
Thank you for all of your books. They are a blessing to read. May God bless you and your family.
Testimony #2
I was a Christian before you wrote the books (I think). But
when I read your books it was like, I need to do that. I felt like I was
getting closer to God when I read your books. I never in a million years would
have thought a book this good would have come out in the 21st century. Without
these books I don't think I would be near to God as I am. I just wanna say with my heart filled with gratitude. Thank You!
May God be praised for how He is using these books!
