Video Glimpse into Father Damien of Molokai

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.

  2. Great to hear from you Faith. And also to discover your blog. I look forward to reading it when I get some time this evening.

    Yes, 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!

  3. 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).

    Father Damien was indeed a hero.

  6. I figured it's a week long event and dear Healing Water gets precious little attention.

    The same is true of leprosy. Thanks for motivating me, Linda.
