A prolific writer, he now has over twenty books in publication, including three with Janette Oke, a wonderful children's picture book called Princess Bella and the Red Velvet Hat, the heartwarming gift book The Quilt, and his latest, The Dream Voyagers, originally published under the pen name Thomas Locke.
"The novels I've had published by Bethany House are the direction I hope my future writing will take--captivating stories of intrigue, drama and faith, with compelling characters in an enjoyable contemporary fictional setting," says Bunn. "The emotional bonding that occurs with the reader in good fiction often gives the Christian message more direct meaning in the reader's life."
Prior to his work in international finance, Davis completed studies in psychology and economics at Wake Forest University. Fluent in three languages, he has traveled extensively in more than forty countries in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Davis has also avocationally become a serious student of comparative religion, learning from Jewish rabbis, Buddhist monks, Muslim imams, Catholic priests, and Baptist ministers. Drawing on these experiences, Davis fills his books with colorful dialogue and richly textured settings.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Cute, but not convincing.,
This review is from: The Messenger (Hardcover)
The plot of this novella revolves around the premise of an angel, Ariel, who is sent to earth on a mission of mercy. Ariel's heavenly pass-card is stolen, and she is unable to return to heaven. The naivete of this heavenly messenger about the ways of earth is at first entertaining, but soon wears thin because it reflects badly on angels, and ultimately on their sender, God Himself. Although the notion of earthly strangers being angels is certainly Scriptural (Heb. 13:2), the whole notion of an angel being stranded on earth is entirely unsupported by Scripture. Further, Scripture's angels can be entertained "unawares" (Heb. 13:2) - but with Bunn's angels it's quite the opposite: their earthly ignorance does little to hide their heavenly identity! Even when I tried to overlook these weaknesses, and suspend reality by entering the fictional world of Bunn's imagination, I did not find the story-line very compelling. The plot is at best cute, although I felt that there was an unwarranted focus on the work of the Spirit outside the Word. Ultimately, however, this book never quite overcomes the weakness of its premise: it's one thing for a story-line to be fiction, but it's quite another when one of the underlying theological concepts is fictional also.

It warmed my heart and made me think,
By Sean Patrick (Boston MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Messenger (Hardcover)
The Messenger is very special. It lightened my heart while it made me cry with tears of unexplainable joy. I recommend it to all ages. It helped scrub my soul.

How many angels have we come in contact with and not know?,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Messenger (Hardcover)
I read this book to my children at night befor bed and they really enjoyed this book. Then I read it over to my husband. I wonder how many times we have met an angel and not realized it? Maybe we should be aware of how we treat other people we come in contact with every day. Who knows, it may be an angel
