The Word and the Power of Words - Dr. Mark Hamby - Lamplighter Ministries, Part 3

In a day when children are influenced by video games and media, how do we get our children to read? Culture is unraveling all around us. We must use our time wisely. How do books fit into that to grow us spiritually?

Dr. Mark Hamby joins Yvette Hampton to talk about the WORD and the power of words.

For over 30 years, Dr. Mark Hamby has been using stories of Christlike character to offer Christ-centered hope around the world. Dr. Hamby is the founder and president of Lamplighter Ministries which has published over 235 books from 17th to 19th-century literature plus 28 audio dramas heard by millions across 30 countries. Dr. Hamby holds several masters degrees and a doctorate in ministry. He speaks and writes about how to find hope and healing for the problems in our families, media, culture, and literature.

​​Mark and his wife Debbie are the executive producers of Lamplighter Theater which adapts Lamplighter books into dramatic audios.
