"I love lighthouses. The severe, uncompromising life of service lived by
lonely lighthouse keepers possesses a special dignity. Poised between the
last outcroppings of land and the vast expanse of the ocean, the lighthouse
has become a profound symbol of human life, poised as it is between the
transitory and the eternal."
"To those who observe with a knowing eye and an understanding heart,
the natural world is rich with allegories of profound spiritual truths.
A Light in the Storm is a visual analogy to Jesus' proclamation 'I am
the Light of the World' (John 8:12). The ocean here is wild with the fury of
the storm; waves break and toss in violent chaos. Above, a mighty thunderhead
looms: its menace seems to fill and dominate the entire sky.
Who has not experienced a time when the troubles and sorrows of life
seemed as overwhelming and inescapable as this brooding cloud and its angry
sea? And yet, the message of A Light in the Storm is entirely different, and
rich in consolation.
Storm clouds blow away. But the rock of faith endures. And the light of
truth, symbolized by the secure lighthouse tower with its penetrating beam,
is a certain guide.
This lighthouse will lead many a ship to safe harbor in the storm, And
the light of God's truth will guide those of us who venture out on life's
stormy seas to the safety of His eternal love."
