Narration In Favor Of Books The Door Within (The Door Within #1)
There is an unseen world of good and evil where nightmares are fought and hope is reborn. Enter The Door Within. Aidan Thomas is miserable. Within two weeks, Aidan’s life is completely uprooted as his parents move the family across the country to care for his ailing grandfather. The quiet but imaginative Aidan is struggling with attending a new school and fitting in with a new group of friends. But when he begins having nightmares and eerie events occur around his neighborhood, Aidan finds himself drawn to his grandfather's basement—where he discovers three ancient scrolls and a mysterious invitation to another world. No longer confined to the realm of his own imagination, Aidan embarks on an adventure where he discovers a long-fought war between good and evil. With the fate of two worlds hanging in the balance, Aidan faces Paragory, the eternal enemy with unfathomable power. Will Aidan be willing to risk everything and trust the unseen hand of the one true King?Rating Epithetical Books The Door Within (The Door Within #1)

I'm honored to be worth your time.Isle of Fire will release the first week of September. It is available for preorder on Amazon as well. In fact, if you preorder it on Amazon and email me to tell me you have ordered it, I'll send you a signed and personalized bookplate sticker for your new book.email me at: batguy21784@yahoo.comHere's the official Isle of Fire blurb:"A greatWow. This book is great. Enough battles and peril to satisfy the adventure-lover, enough secrets to satisfy the mystery-lover, and enough coolness to satisfy the... well, cool-lover!All around great. Granted, some might see it as "just another fantasy book", but it most certainly has characteristics that distinguish it from others in its genre.For instance, there is an unlikely connection between Earth and The Realm... but I won't spoil that for you. :-D Also, there is a good dose of Biblical
Poorly written, not believeable, and only somewhat interesting half the time (in the "non-reality" world). I guess this was written for children to young adult, and I might have liked it when I was six or seven but it's way too young for me now. I gave it a fair chance but there's no need for me to finish reading this.
Sometimes, you go to a book sale and you see hardcover books for a dollar. That's pretty exciting, right? So you might go a little crazy.And sometimes, you see a hardcover book in really good shape for a dollar and you mistake it for a different book and you get so excited that you only skim the synopsis and buy it.And sometimes, you're Jewish and you find yourself owning a book dedicated to Jesus. As a general rule, I don't read Christian fiction. In fact, I usually run in the opposite

The symbolism was a little heavy. No, that was a lie. It was akin to being thwacked over the head with a hard-cover Bible. In my mind, there are two pieces of advice that every allegory writer must have:A) Plot (and writing!) that's good quality separate from the Biblical references. Case in point: The Chronicles of
The Door Within is pretty typical Christian Fantasy, though well-written and with some original ideas. Boy finds link to fantasy world and goes through and saves the day--temporarily, this being part of a series. New is the idea that this world is a sort of alternate universe, with everyone having an albino duplicate. This book falls prey to two chestnuts of Christian writing: overly large and shallow cast, and the roles of good and evil. The expected Christ figure is decent, though typical. A
My teenage self LOVED this book! It has beautifully woven elements of Christianity with typical fantasty story elements that makes the story so enjoyable to read.
