In keeping with World Leprosy Week, I post this video narrated by Max Lucado - a glimpse into the life of Father Damien of Molokai.
And in case you missed the news, I'm giving away a copy of Healing Water. See below.
Linda Andersen hosted me over at her blog, A Writer's Playground. Comment there for a chance to win Healing Water, historical fiction that takes place in Hawaii's leprosy settlement. Deadline is Saturday at midnight.
Father Damien is one of my heroes. Such a brave and selfless man.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you Faith. And also to discover your blog. I look forward to reading it when I get some time this evening.
ReplyDeleteYes, Father Damien is one of my heroes too. Please enter the book drawing over at A Writer's Playground. That's where the giveaway is.
Good luck!
That was so interesting, I had forgotten things about Father Damien since I read Father Damien the Leper (which was way before computers and YouTube for information, thanks heavens for progress).
ReplyDeleteFather Damien was indeed a hero.
Yes, Alex - so much great info out there now. I love this short clip.
ReplyDeleteJoyce,
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting more about leprosy and Father Damien and linking to my blog. You're terrific.
I figured it's a week long event and dear Healing Water gets precious little attention.
ReplyDeleteThe same is true of leprosy. Thanks for motivating me, Linda.
