Recent Release, "Once Upon a Lighthouse," from Christian Faith Publishing Author Deborah J Stingis, Shows Children How Lighthouses Symbolize Divine Guidance

Masury, OH, October 02, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Deborah J Stingis has completed a new book, titled, "Once Upon a Lighthouse," a beautifully illustrated children's story that explores the fascinating world of lighthouses while weaving in a profound spiritual lesson. Through engaging narratives and vivid imagery, the book teaches young readers about the architectural wonder of lighthouses, their rich history, and their vital role in maritime safety. As the story unfolds, children discover how lighthouses serve as powerful metaphors for Jesus Christ; the ultimate light that guides humanity through life's darkest moments and most turbulent seasons.

The author's perspective is deeply personal and rooted in genuine hardship. During her own battle with cancer while undergoing chemotherapy, Stingis began writing this work as a means of processing her faith and finding solace. Her journey has been marked by profound loss, including the death of her oldest son at age thirty-three from cancer, followed years later by her own diagnosis alongside her remaining son's simultaneous cancer battle. These experiences shaped her conviction that our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ represents the greatest source of illumination during life's darkest storms.

"Once Upon a Lighthouse" invites readers to contemplate themes of divine protection, spiritual responsibility, and unwavering faith. The narrative follows a young protagonist's ascent up a lighthouse—a symbolic climb through mountains of adversity toward an awe-inspiring perspective. As children journey through this tale, they learn that just as lighthouse keepers maintain the beacon's flame to guide ships safely home, believers are called to nurture their relationship with Jesus and share His light with others. The book plants seeds of faith while encouraging young minds to develop Christ-like thinking and recognize God's goodness in their own lives.

From the author, "I wanted to help children understand that Jesus is the true light of the world, just as I came to understand this truth through my greatest challenges. By climbing toward that light, we discover the safety and hope only He can provide."

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Deborah J Stingis's heartwarming work strengthens children's spiritual foundation while celebrating the enduring beauty of lighthouses. This book serves as a tender introduction to faith concepts that will resonate with young readers and inspire them to seek Christ's guidance through every season of life.

Readers who wish to experience this uplifting work can purchase "Once Upon a Lighthouse" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
