"Dear Mr. Daniel Mills,

I wanted to let you know what a wonderful blessing Soldier Fritz was for my family and me. We have an hour trip to church and spend that time singing hymns and reading. Soldier Fritz was the first book my boys wanted to read. I was the only one allowed to read it since I had created all the voices for the characters. They eagerly awaited the reading each Sunday and even packed the book the night before along with their Bibles to make sure it would be available. During the week I would come home to hear them beg me to read another chapter.

We are so thankful for your wholesome books that give us the opportunity to discuss the truths of God while learning the history of those who have gone before us. We also appreciated your commentary and definitions throughout the text. It helped extend our vocabulary and better understand the context of the times.

The only negative is that it quickly came to an end … but that is when we picked up the next book in your wonderful series.

For His Kingdom,
Michael J. Metarko"
