I just wrote my name in a beautiful classic volume called, "Sir Knight of the Splendid Way," an allegory Elisabeth Elliot cut her teeth on as a child. It is the first book I've received from the Lamplighter book club.
My father started the flame. Every Christmas my brother and I found a classic under the tree. Books that change character, one story at a time. Unwrapping "Hans Brinker Anderson" or "Little Women" remain my fondest Christmas memories. The flame for classic reading was lit. The timeless legacy that my Dad began over 50 years ago will continue in the hearts of my grandchildren and Crawford Houser's great grandchildren.
To LAURIE
"A Keeper of the Well"
Your passion for this book was compelling,
But your love for the King
Beckoned me
To travel the path of the Splendid Way.
In the King's name,
Mark Hamby
May my love for the King compel others to follow; for He is the Splendid Way.
