Lamplighter Theatre
If you love old books and believe in the power of stories with a message, you would probably enjoy the works produced by Lamplighter Publishing. A ministry and business run by Mark Hamby, Lamplighter produces gorgeous old books from earlier centuries, each one overtly Christian and strongly message-focused.
These days, Lamplighter is up to more than just publishing books. My “Defy the Darkness” post of several weeks ago featured their first short film. (Haven’t seen it yet? What are you waiting for?) And today, I want to share their newest venture: Christian radio drama. Did you enjoy the Narnia audio recordings? How about Adventures in Odyssey? Then you’ll definitely want to check this out!
Mark sent out an e-mail not long ago proclaiming,
They did it! The first broadcast for Lamplighter Theatre is complete! I talked with the producer, writer, and engineer tonight and they were all very excited. The producer said that it was the most powerful program he has ever produced. The first story is based on the book of Sir Malcolm and the Missing Prince. I know that people say after you hear or see a dramatic production, that you have to read the book! And though I want people to read the book, the audio is actually better! I can’t wait till everyone listens to this drama. There are so many golden nuggets of God’s truth woven throughout, yet at the same time, all ages will be captivated by the adventure and drama.

Thanks for the recommendation! It sounds like quite an interesting media that can publish books, release movies and dive into radio theater. Impressive. I will have to check them out. : )
