Through reading I often find myself studying the scriptures to compare the two. It also helps me when I read about someone and why they make certain decisions. I am especially touched as Meagan goes through her trail in Sorcerers and Seers. We've all had doubts, hopes and fears in our own lives. I think that is what helps us connect to each character. I have also researched many things in the Tennis Shoes series talks about; things that without the books I would have never thought to look up. So maybe the Tennis Shoes won't give you a testimony by itself, but through diligent study it can definitely help, or even spark it.

Often we have to stop somewhere and we sit in the car listening because we can't turn it off yet. It is so nice to have something we all enjoy and that is thought provoking and allows our children (and ourselves) to ask questions, ponder and strengthen our testimonies. (Even if it is fiction).

But this year, I bought the whole set for my son,... and I'm on the last book! I REALLY don't want to wait 5 years for the 12th book! These are the best books that I have read in a long time, and I have really enjoyed reading them. I'm so sorry that I put off reading them when everyone else was telling how good they are. I have done the same with the Harry Potter series, but I really don't have the desire to read it. But this one.. I simply just LOVED! Thanks for all you hard work, and your creative mind! I would LOVE to see movies made out of each book. That would be really awesome! Now get to work and get that 12th book done!thelifeofnathanphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17523694937297839813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8426723056163837913.post-6217432938055349972011-07-20T16:09:48.812-06:002011-07-20T16:09:48.812-06:00You seriously need to end this series soon.

I see them as mini series anyway. The first two were stand alones. 3 &4 were a miniseries. 5-7 were there own series and now 8-12 will be there own series. Whats wrong with adding more of these series if I love reading them so much? Keep 'em coming! I plan on reading them with my family when my little guy is old enough! I do feel that they inspire me to study the scriptures more and make me excited to think outside the box. Thanks for what you do, Chris.

I could not put it down. Not only was it a good story but it improved my testimony as I read. I realized things that I had forgotten over the years. Thanks so much Chris.

There have been several times when a line in one of your books, or books by other authors, have made me look at a principle or scripture in an entirely different way, and I appreciate it.<br /><br />Anyway, I loved the book, and I can't believe we have to wait another year or two for the next one! But I loved Passage, so I'm looking forward to the sequel, and I'm glad to know it'll tie in with the Tennis Shoes books eventually. I had a feeling it might.

I just finished reading it and I was completely enraptured the entire time. I have known for years that you are a good writer. This book has reassured that even more. This is probably one of the most intense Tennis Shoes books in my opinion but I also think it's one of the best. Keep up the good work.

I keep expecting to see it on church book websites and at least a poster at my local bookstore. I mean for your fans this is a BIG deal!<br /><br />And not to go against the comment that was previously made by Janelle because you can have diffrences of opinions, I will add that I personally feel that your series have allowed my testimony to be strengthened. Especially the Feathered Serpent Story line. I feel that anytime I feel the spirit then my testimony is growing stronger and I do that MANY times during your books Thanks and keep the stories coming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8426723056163837913.post-48219216596956358452010-09-14T09:37:29.823-06:002010-09-14T09:37:29.823-06:00My wife and I both love your books Chris (that'...My wife and I both love your books Chris (that's one of the things that impressed me when I first met her, actually). And I second what the other reader said - I would much rather read a long, never-ending series than a neatly wrapped up trilogy. I found I had to go back to Warriors of Cumorah and read those books all over again, and it was a blast - so much I'd forgotten! It was almost like reading them for the first time. I'll keep reading your books as long as you keep writing them.ironhide781https://www.blogger.com/profile/09601001912310870173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8426723056163837913.post-73509437255196981012010-09-13T20:00:45.168-06:002010-09-13T20:00:45.168-06:00Chris, you are the best!

Your books (as well as your movie, and music) are absolutely amazing, clever, well put, and inspiring, and they have helped strengthen my testimony and love for the scriptures immensely! And I want to thank you for it. <br />I am so exited to see how everything unravels in the books to come. And I know you will do an amazing job doing it, as always! <br />And I don't think you need worry, Chris. Unless the book stores are completely nuts, your books should be on the shelves for a long, long while.

My feet haven't touched the ground!<br /><br />Sometimes hanging by a thread at the end of a book is precarious; keeps me up at night imagining what might happen next. But that's the mark of a fine author, right? One who can keep you stewing on the plot long after the book was finished?<br /><br />I love going back and going through all the cassettes and CDs in order again and again. Makes the road trips go much faster. And I never tire of the storyline. Even though I know what's going to happen now, I still enjoy reliving the scenes again and again. Just like some people enjoy watching movies over and over again, I guess.<br /><br />Keep up the good work!

When book 12 comes out, will we need to read the Zarahemla sequel first, or will Zarahemla fans need to be familiar with Tennis Shoes? Or both? I have enjoyed all your books except for one: Passage to Zarahemla. It didn't capture my attention the way Tennis Shoes and your other non-series books did. Part of that may just be that I was quite a bit older by the time I read it, and wasn't previously (a younger me) invested in the characters, etc.<br /><br />Quote:<br /><i>If a reader doesn't come away with a greater appreciation for the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ, and an understanding of the complexity of the Book of Mormon that they previously did not possess, then the book should not have been written.</i><br /><br />I disagree. I enjoy reading your books, especially the Tennis Shoes series, and I've always found it fascinating to think of Book of Mormon characters/people as having other aspects of their lives besides what we read in the few pages of the book. However, reading your books has never affected my testimony. It's neither strengthened nor weakened as a result of reading your books. Your books are interesting, and they have good characters and plots, but they are fiction. Testimonies should not grow from fiction.Janellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10851454323588239492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8426723056163837913.post-32933529815557745082010-09-12T13:26:58.774-06:002010-09-12T13:26:58.774-06:00Hi Chris, I don't know why anyone wants the T...Hi Chris, I don't know why anyone wants the Tennis Shoe Series to become complete. I'd much rather read a long series with lots of books like the "Work and the Glory" than just a trilogy. I think that you are one of the best authors out there. I just love the Tennis Shoe Series. I remember reading one of your books when I was a freshman in high school and being not able to put it down. However, I think that Eddie Fantastic is your worse book so far. I've been reading it off and on. I can only take it in short bursts because it's too teenagery.Lizzie Woolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08828044744156399975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8426723056163837913.post-35178429505541693252010-09-12T13:02:46.393-06:002010-09-12T13:02:46.393-06:00While I have yet to buy the book myself I feel tha...While I have yet to buy the book myself I feel that reaching the end of a book and finding a cliffhanger really is a double-sided coin.
