the blog of Lighthouse Trails Publishing

Lighthouse Trails has signed contracts with three new authors. First, John Lanagan of My Word Like Fire Ministries will be writing a Lighthouse Trails novel (to be our second novel following our debut novel, Castles in the Sand) that will be based on the mystical/contemplative/homospirituality that has come into the church. For a sampling of John’s writing, check out an online fiction story he is currently writing for his website with new installments nearly every day.  John is a former homosexual, who now serves the Lord with his wife. Second, we have signed a contract with United Kingdom author and researcher Dusty Peterson. Dusty and his colleague Elizabeth McDonald have written extensively on the truth behind the Alpha Course. The booklet we have contracted with Dusty is of a very sensitive nature: child molestation in the  church and how to keep it from happening in yours. Child sex abuse has become rampant throughout the world, but it should not be happening in Christian churches. This booklet will not only tell the stories that will break your hearts, but it will offer some practical suggestions and help on how to protect the children in your churches. Lighthouse Trails’ motto is “bringing light to areas of darkness.” This is one area to which we feel highly privileged to bring light. We currently carry Laughter Calls Me by Catherine Brown and The Kinsey Syndrome (DVD -by Addulam Films) on this topic.

Last, but not least, we have signed a contract with long-standing journalist and researcher/author Berit Kjos of Kjos Ministries. We will be updating and revising her book, Your Child and the New Age. This will be a special handbook for parents that will help them understand the barrage of New Ageism their children and teens are receiving from their schools and other venues (even some youth groups and Christian schools now thanks to contemplative spirituality). The revised edition that we are publishing will offer many practical ideas with Scriptural backup to help parents help their children and teens.

We do not have release dates for these new publishing projects yet, but as soon as we do we will let Lighthouse Trails readers know. We will be releasing our own edition of Foxe’s Book of Martyrs in July or August this year.

Please join us in prayer as we ask the Lord to provide for the continued resources to publish such books and DVDs. Publishing and marketing books and DVDs is very expensive – and when the products are as controversial as ours are, it makes for a very challenging ministry.
