This blog space serves as a resource for those reading and utilizing the books offered by Forgotten Lighthouse.  While the books we publish may be utilized for youth, young adults, and adults alike, they are largely written out of an experience of working with youth and young adults for two decades in the classroom and Church context.  Consequently, those using these books in the context of the homeschool, classroom, and Church should find themselves at ease using these books.
