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:

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 Religious allegories suitable for younger readers, August 3, 2001

This review is from: The Portal (Journeys to Fayrah, Book 1) (Paperback)

This book initiates the amazing Journeys to Fayrah series by Bill Myers. I read it when I was considerably younger -- probably just shy of ten years ago -- but I still clearly recall the stories as some of the most *important* reading of my young life. Myers' religious allegories are a little easier for young readers to navigate; you can work them up to C.S. Lewis and John Bunyan a little later. In the meantime, if you have access to this series (which is sadly now out-of-print), definitely snatch up these books.

5.0 out of 5 stars READ IT!, October 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Portal (Journeys to Fayrah, Book 1) (Paperback)

After I read this book, I wanted to read the rest of the series. This is a really enjoyable book for all ages. When two children open the portal to a magical realm known as Fayrah, they start a powerful spiritual journey with Fayranians Listro Q and Aristophenix. When you start reading, you too also begin your own journey in love, friendship and faith. I recommend this book to people of all ages and hope to read the rest of the series soon!
