Bill Myers (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2003

An action-packed allegory that captures our growth from non-believers to mature Christians.

Through the mysterious Bloodstone, which symbolizes God’s great love for mankind, three children are whisked into strange and wondrous worlds. Soon they are visiting places like the Sea of Mirrors where they are nearly crushed by the weight of their sins, or the Menagerie whose prisoners are doomed to live in pure selfishness, or Biiq where one doubting child is allowed to experience the same deep and unfathomable love that Jesus Christ has for us.

With the help of intriguing characters like Aristophenix—the world’s worst poet, Listro Q—a tall, purple dude with dyslectic speech, and Weaver —who weaves God’s plans into each of our Life Tapestries, the children learn the powers and secrets of living as citizens in the Kingdom of God.

More About the Author

Hi.
Thanks for checking up on me. Probably best to go over to my web site: www.Billmyers.com for biography information. And if you're really bored, there's my fan site over on Facebook:
www.facebook.com/pages/Bill-Myers/44983396181 Oh, and one last thing. If you're a student and your class reads one of my books, I'll do a 'meet the author' 30 min question and answer session by speakerphone with your class from my office here in California. If you're a reader's group, the same thing goes...in which case I'd recommend ELI to really get the discussion juices flowing - at least until THE GOD HATER comes out in 2010. Thanks for stopping by!

5.0 out of 5 stars Read aloud and think deep!, August 11, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Bloodstone Chronicles (Hardcover)

This book is a moving one so be ready to think! I love finding books that I can read to my kids and have a deeper meaning. THis book does that and even more.
When you read this you feel like you are seeing a movie flash in front of your imagination. Bill Myers does a great job of just giving us enough adjectuves to form our own images and make it our own.
The message is God and his love but done in a way that makes your heart open to see and understand the complicated mind set of our Savior. The author takes the complex thoughts and turns them into a modern day parable full of characters we can all somehow relate to.
Want a rich book that the whole fmaily can get something from? Want a read a-loud that will keep you turning pages as fast as you can say the words on it?
Want a bedtime story that will have oyur kids thinking deeper thoughts?
Then I highly recommend The Bloodstone Chronicles to you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bloodstone Chronicles, January 12, 2006

Cinderella "~CInderella~" (US) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Bloodstone Chronicles (Hardcover)

The Bloodstone Chronicle, by Bill Myers, is a journey taken into a new dimension by three kids. Denise, Nathan, and Joshua, take an exciting trip into a new land, Fayrah. They meet things they never would have thought existed.
The Bloodstone Chronicle is a book based on the Bible. The kids meet three friends in Fayrah, Aristophenix, the world's worst poet, Lister Q, A purple dude with dyslexic speech, and Samson, part dragonfly part ladybug. Together these six friends take a wild adventure.
I thought the book was really good. I would recommend the book for both guys and girls over the age of 8. Though the book is a little long, the comprehension level is not hard. Every page has so much action on it. I definitely recommend this book.

When's the last time you would rather read than watch the tube? This book will bring you and your loved ones into a whole new realm of "family adventure". The author knows how to weave an incredible story(ies) that you will never forget. I read these stories about twenty years ago and wanted to read them again. I found them (four stories in one book) available online. Thank God for Amazon.com!
