Book Signing

The final details need to be figured out, but it's official.... Christa Parrish's (our local author) husband, Chris Coppernoll, will be coming to The Lighthouse for a book signing. If you have not read any of Chris' fiction works, get one today. He has written Providence, A Beautiful Fall and Screen Play. We just read Screen Play and it is definitely a well written book. It was interesting that he wrote the book from the main character's point of view, a woman's point of view. Think that a man can't write what a woman would think? Think again! Buy Screen Play and Chris' other books here at The Lighthouse. And don't forget Christa's 2 books, Home Another Way and Watch over Me.

Letters to God

This week some of us from The Lighthouse went to see the movie "Letters to God" down at Crossgates Mall. What an incredible movie! Bring your tissues. You'll need them.

“Letters to God” is the true story about 8 year-old Tyler, who wrote letters addressed to God. These letters were Tyler's way of praying; it was his way of talking with God about the things that were really important to him and about the things he had questions about. These letters didn't only help Tyler deal with facing cancer but also worked to change the faith of those closest to him."

The book and movie soundtrack at available at www.lighthousebooksource.com and at The Lighthouse

Son of Hamas

Since he was a small boy, Mosab Hassan Yousef has had an inside view of the deadly terrorist group Hamas. The oldest son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a founding member of Hamas and one of its most popular leaders, young Mosab assisted his father for years in his political activities while being groomed to assume his legacy, politics, status . . . and power. But everything changed when Mosab turned away from terror and violence, and embraced instead the teachings of another famous Middle Eastern leader. In Son of Hamas, Mosab Yousef reveals new information about the world’s most dangerous terrorist organization and unveils the truth about his own role, his agonizing separation from family and homeland, the dangerous decision to make his newfound faith public, and his belief that the Christian mandate to “love your enemies” is the only way to peace in the Middle East.
