Praise for Darnia's Quest...“The Darnia Series is a pure book that teaches children that you can love God and be cool at the same time.” –Chuck Norris, Famed Action Hero and Christian Actor “The Darnia Series is a book that brings to children the gift of reading while embracing the spiritual principles necessary for a balanced and wholesome life.” —Tom Selleck, Hollywood Actor “The Darnia Series teaches our children the universal message of the love of God.” —Pat Boone, Famed Actor and Singer “I know that if a book, like The Darnia Series had been available when I was younger, I would have found God much earlier." —Kirk Cameron, Hollywood Actor and Christian TV Host “Without a doubt in my mind, The Darnia Series is one of the best children’s books written in the past 50 years and this book will stand the test of time. The more children read Darnia’s Quest, the more they will learn the path of truth and righteousness.” —Dr. Pat Robertson, CBN Founder “Today’s youth see nothing but violence and sex on television from the news to prime time television shows. And then we wonder why our children face so many problems. The answer is simple – they are not learning values and they are not learning about God. My children loved the book and I urge parents to share this beautiful message with their children.” –Morgan Brittany, Celebrated Hollywood Actress & Child Advocate
