I saw a table at last years HomeSchool Convention for this company. As with many companies there, I hadn't heard of Lamplighters Publishing. I passed by their table several times as I walked the aisles of the convention- trying to take everything in. Searching for things on my small "purchase" list for our second year of schooling at home--and being sidetracked often by wonderful teaching tools and books. And yet again- I try make my way past this crowded table, thinking I'd wait until the crowd died down to check it out. BUT! There was always a HUGE crowd surrounding the table--and so I finally wove my way through to see what the hubub was about.
The first thing I noticed was the quality and visual appeal of their products. Stacks and stacks of books-- colorful & richly textured pages. And then, I saw that these books were all based on building Christian character. Their mission is “to make ready a people prepared for the Lord, by building Christ-like character one story at a time. ...deeply rooted in the truths found in Malachi 4:6 and Luke 1:17." That is something I can stand behind! I'll be making my way back to their table at this years HomeSchool Convention- to purchase books for my family & thank them for sharing their vision and heart in such a beautiful, treasured way!!
This is a video clip from their email newsletter. A short film on light in the darkness. There are some inspiring interviews with them on YouTube as well. I included one below that was especially good!

Cool! I really need to start figuring out what curriculum to use next year or if I am going to stay with the same.
Tom spent alot of time at that booth at the Homeschool Conference. He was SO impressed with thier books. We don't have any but certainly hope to someday.
