The Society

Even though this is a "teen" Christian book, I recommend it to anybody, regardless of age. These books help with issues that teens (and other people) have to deal with. Because of the encouragement and enlightment, anybody can benefit from these books. Becka and Scott Williams, along with their mother, move to California after having spent many years in the jungles of South America. They were missionaries, and their dad's plane crashed. Becka is trying to fit in to the California scene, after having spent most of her growing-up years in the jungle. Her younger brother, Scott, makes friends more easily and is less shy than she is. Needless to say, the family is Christian. So when some less-than-Christian, and even dangerous, activities are going on at the Ascension Bookshop (by "The Society"), Scott is determined to boldly step in and try to stop it. He uses his strong Christian faith, along with much encouragement from Z. Z is a mysterious Christian friend that Scott met "on-line". The author gives a warning at the end of the book letting us know that when this series was conceived, there were not "bad" guys on-line, like there are now, and to be extremely careful about who you talk to on-line. In addition to this series being a positive and encouraging teen Christian series, I feel it is a very cozy series because it is focused on a loving, Christian woman and her two Christian children. They all love each other very much. They have a very cozy home, and I can just "feel" and "imagine" how warm and loving and cozy their home is. I simply cannot sing enough praise for this book, as well as the whole set. Years ago I read some of these books out of order and enjoyed and appreciated them very much; now I am reading the whole set in order. I am having some very encouraging and entertaining enjoyment. These books are a positive upliftment. I feel these are some of the best Christian books ever written; they give encouragement, pleasure, and comfort. I am thankful I stumbled upon them. I recommend them to all Christians, teens and adults.

I first stumbled upon the FORBIDDEN DOORS series by accident at the local library. I saw a little cross sticker on the binding, assumed it to be Christian fiction of some sort and picked it up. When I read the back cover for THE SOCIETY, I started getting excited. I've always loved an intense, suspense-filled story, and finding a series of Christian books falling under that genre, I knew I had picked up something I would love. Since reading THE SOCIETY, I have purchased all twelve of the FORBIDDEN DOORS books, and have enjoyed every one of them. THE SOCIETY introduces us to Scott and Becka Williams, typical teenagers who have recently moved to Crescent Bay, California. As they begin to become plugged in at school, they find themselves constantly running into the darker side of spiritual things: ouija boards, amulets, and charm pouches. Using this as the basis for the plot, Becka and Scott are very well-rounded characters, dealing with the recent loss of their father, fitting in at school, and ridicule for being Christians. This book also introduces series-long elements such as the elusive Z, an internet contact, strange things in the garage of their new home, and even a romantic interest for lead, Becka. Fans of tight-plotted suspenseful stories with a bit of mystery will thoroughly enjoy THE SOCIETY by Bill Myers. Granted, this is a quicker read, but with humor, suspense, and romance running throughout, most will find this a splendid book.

Forbidden Doors by bill myers is a wonderful bookabout a girl named Rebecca and her brother Scott. they moved fromthe rainforest to the u.s town Cresent Bay California.In their nelife the encounter all sorts of stuff,like demons and other spirtual events.

I am seventeen years old, and have been a Christian my whole life. My girlfriend was reading this book, and convinced me too. I have never been so glad, because the book has been incredibly helpful. While containing a wonderfully thought out storyline and deep plot, the book also holds within it detailed directions with strong roots in the Bible for any Christian. I would recommend it to you whether you are ten or eighty. This one will keep you on your toes and headed in the right direction!

When I first starting reading the book, I thought it was just some book that was made to scare me, you know the ordinary kind of horror, but it was different in every sense of the word.It was like real life, you could relate to most of the stuff they were talking about. It scared me in a different way: the kids in their school, the way they were, it made me think about the kids iin my school, how many were thinking and asting the same way. Then the dream that the boy kept having about his father and him, I could almost see it unfold and how it was going to happen. Overall it was a book I had to read over and over again.
