Guiding Light, a new Philippine imprint introduced by Lampara Books, wants to inspire parents and families to be positive influences on their children’s lives. Through highly enjoyable but life – changing books written and designed by some of the world’s most promising and award-winning writers, illustrators, and personalities, the family-oriented and faith-based imprint focuses on promoting spiritual formation, values education, emotional growth, and community development. It’s refreshing to hear books that aim to help children develop an optimistic outlook in life. In our zoom meeting, Lampara Books launched its new imprints that delighted us. It will significantly help the young ones engage more in reading bible-based stories and actively enjoy it at the same time.
“It has always been our goal to inspire adult readers, most especially parents, to engage with their children on stories of inspiration, joy, and life lessons within a framework of Christ-centered beliefs and teachings,” says Segundo D. Matias Jr., the Chief Publisher of Lampara Books. “Our activity books create bonding moments between mom and dad with their kids through storytelling that put good values at the forefront of its principles, while inspiring everyone to become a better human being.”
For its premiere offering, Guiding Light has recently released its ‘Little Life Lessons on’ series—a collection of fun activity books that parents and their children can color, play around with, and use as a medium for purpose-driven instruction. Written in both English and Filipino, the series is made for childhood care providers and parents to help their kids learn important values in life. The ‘Little Life Lessons on’ catalog contains inspirational stories that depict kindness, obedience, respect, and love, among many others.
The motivational imprint also takes pride of its Family Bible Illustrated edition, which has 365 pages of bible stories, meditations, and prayers for the whole family to reflect on together, and The Comic Book Bible, which offers a treasury of stories, known and loved by generations of readers.
Classic Bible Stories, illustrated for pictures-and-words format by talented young artist Tommaso d’ Incalei, is for readers looking for a new take on a familiar story. This timeless anthology will inspire individuals to uncover the meaning behind God’s teachings in an entertaining and easy-to-read fashion, bringing stories to life for a new generation of readers. The Classic Children’s Bible, which is wonderfully drawn and presented to appeal to a younger readership, is another notable product under its umbrella.
Other titles currently available on the Guiding Light website include Rhona Davies’ The Life Of Christ, a beautifully illustrated book that “explains the Mass by linking the liturgy to scenes from the Gospels,” and Angela M. Burrin’s Welcome To The Mass, a beautifully illustrated book that “explains the Mass by linking the liturgy to scenes from the Gospels.”
