The
Next Great Masterpiece
By Josh Desmarais
A novel is manifesting itself
from a member of the student collective at Valley Christian High
School, set to arrive around the middle of May. Senior Blake
Garrett Anderson has accomplished a rather magnificent
feat – writing a novel while still doing well in high school.
Anderson has been working on this novel for several years, and
it has always been a desire of his to write and finish it – and
while it is indeed finished, his initial manuscript was long enough
to construct two separate books The title of the book is The
Dragonheroes, and, as one may expect, the book does involve
dragons - more specifically, teenage protagonists that acquire
the ability to shift forms into dragons.
The world does involve aspects that are generally typical, such
as an overarching, powerful villain who works against the progress
of the protagonists, but Anderson’s novel does not focus so much
on this aspect. Taking a longer and generally more pleasant route,
it focuses on the development, past stories and adventures of
the various characters, which is likely enough to fill a book
itself, given that there are five protagonists.
As stated before, the book is well on its way to finishing the
publishing ordeal. In fact, Anderson is finishing the processes
of pushing the book through a self-publishing company. He expects
this ordeal to be over before graduation, so look forward to it!

All to Stand
Thousands of people crammed into a crowded stadium with rain pouring
on top their heads. People just outside the wall have banners
and signs protesting the very presence of those inside. A scene
like this is intense.
This was the backdrop for the Battle Cry stadium event in San
Francisco. Among the thousands of teenagers attending the concert/worship
event were dozens of Valley Christian students. Freshmen, sophomores,
juniors, and seniors all came together for two days of meeting
with God.

Spiritual Emphasis
Week
Imagine trudging through a swamp waist deep with nothing
to guide you but your compass. It is night, and you have to use
your instincts to find your way to a marked point. For speaker
Darrin Crowder, he has met many similar challenges
such as this when he joined the army.
Crowder came to Valley Christian the week of March 27 to share
his message with the students of how to separate “what the world
tries to say to you vs. what the Bible is trying to tell you.”
