Check out these great review quotes for the Silas series below: ๐ŸŒŸ"Joel Shoemaker has written a heartwarming story for children of all ages who are searching for a place to belong in spaces that weren't built for them. Silas learns that you can sparkle by showing up, helping, and being exactly who you were created to be. This book is a gift for any child searching for their place in a faith community, and a mirror for those who've forgotten that belonging and brilliance come in many forms." -Timothy Schraeder Rodriguez, author of Conversion Therapy Dropout ๐ŸŒŸ"With humor and grace, Joel Shoemaker perfectly captures the deep disappointment every child knows when hopes and dreams don't unfold quite the way they imagined. Yet in Silas on Stage, empathy and kindness shine brightest of all. This story sparkles with the warmth and wonder of a Christmas tree star." โ€‹ -Kate Klise, author of the Regarding series 06 Nov 2026 In order to continue taking care of our campus community - students, faculty, staff, parents, and alumni alike - we have made the decision to postpone the Lindsey Fitzharris โ€™04 event on November 4th.
