The Lamp Lighter

About the Book

Drawn from a wealth of information Reverend George D. Johnson has written over the years, The Lamp Lighter is a collection of homilies, quotes, quips, witticisms, aphorisms, anecdotes, and truisms fit for any Christian library. Once a newsletter and now a volume, The Lamp Lighter is for readers of any religious affiliation or denomination. The Lamp Lighter is also considered an eclectic volume for those who want to embrace homilies or quips or witticism, whatever makes them feel uplifted, encouraged, or inspired.

Johnson’s homilies are for inspirational and edification purposes. Quips and quotes are for readers who like humor and thought-provocation, for a little humor is good for the soul. Still, the witticisms are for readers who want their souls stimulated. Yet, aphorisms are for readers who want to devour truth in a simple sentence. Last, anecdotes are for readers who enjoy short tales and stories that narrate biographical situations based on real life stories, while truisms are full of interesting rhetoric and literary criticisms.

This eclectic volume is an inspirational piece for readers who want a fun-loving ride on a thought-provoking intellectual train.
