How to Use Literature to Instruct the Young in the Way of Wisdom
Covered in This Session:
- Principles to guide children’s literature choices
- Understanding the storyline of the biblical wisdom literature
- How the wisdom literature defines our lives and education today
For the past forty years, Mark and his wife Debbie have devoted themselves to Christian
education and building Christlike character, one story at a time. They have three married
children, a grandson, and hundreds of students whom they continue to mentor and love.
After ten years as a Christian school administrator, Mark founded Lamplighter
Ministries, comprised of Lamplighter Publishing, Lamplighter Theatre, Lamplighter
Guild, Fastened Like Nails podcast, and Lamplighter Moments radio broadcast. Each
platform carries out Lamplighter’s mission of “making ready a people prepared for the
LORD.”
Through The Art of Storytelling, Mark engages the imagination of his audiences by
exposing Folly’s false promises of prosperity, promotion, protection, power, and
addictive pleasure and revealing Wisdom’s eternal promises of freedom, joy,
entrepreneurial success, and regret-free pleasure. Lamplighter publishes over 200 rare
books for all ages and produces redemptive audio dramas, now heard in 33 countries.
Mark is now passionately working on the development of the Lamplighter Academy of
the Arts, Business, and Biblical Theology.

The battle continues to rage, moment by moment and day by day. But must we meet the enemy blindfolded? In order to conquer, we must face the enemy; to crush opposition, we must see the real foe. Through this allegorical tale, we’ll be better equipped to recognize and slay the Giants who confront us. We’ll break through the web of Sloth, climb out of the pit of Selfishness, choke up the fount of Anger, flee the lurking-place of Untruth, and triumph over our enemy, Pride. Join faithful knight Fides as he takes on life’s battle and follows Lady Wisdom. Through her strength and guidance, he unleashes the power to attempt the impossible! If you feel that you have nothing firm upon which to lay hold, grasp the strong cord of Love as your means of safety and deliverance. Download the first episode for free!
