Finding Role Models in Fiction According to Scripture

Have a starry-eyes child who idolizes a sports figure or celebrity? Confused by all the media-hype regarding books and movies? Tired of feeling pushed, prodded and cornered into accepting what the entertaiment industry feels is appropriate for your children? Using nearly 30 years of experience in publishing and Hollywood screenwriting, this workshop will help to clarify how to look past current trends to the most important means we have to help make wise choices - the Bible.

Writing Fiction God's Way - a guide to help remember The Creator in creativity

Many writing courses are great at teaching mechanics of the craft, but lack the fundamental focus of how to use a God-given talent to write stories that honor God. How do you encouarge a child's creativity, yet guide them to stay true to their faith? This workshop seeks to answer those questions and more by helping the aspiring writer to remember their key audience - God!

Proverbs 31 Woman (Parts 1 & 2 ) - The Industrious and Supportive Wife. &  The Example of a Godly Mother

 Part 1 The age old battle of the sexes culminated in the Feminist movement of the 1960s, and changed the landscapef of the American family. A child of the 60s and married for over 30 years, Shawn Lamb used Proverbs 31 to highlight the drastic differences between Biblical truth regarding the role of a wife and mother versus the Politically correct redefining of womanhood. Part 2 - The world screams about how children are to be raised, and wages a relentless war to wrest the responsibility away from parents. How can a Godly mother equip her children to withstand the worlds' onslaught against parental instruction? Where does her strength come from?

Shawn Lamb and her husband, Rob, have been married for over 30 years. All her married life, Shawn has been a stay-at-home wife and mother. For several years in the 1990s, Shawn homeschooled their only daughter, Briana. Eventually, Briana followed in Rob's footsteps of working in film and television. As Christians, the Lambs seek to honor God in all they do, whether at home, work, teaching Bible Study or Sunday School classes, being involved with women's ministry leadership or traveling the country attending events and conventions.

Shawn honed her talent of writing doing freelance scripts for children's television when the family lived in Hollywood, California. Years later, after moving to Nashville, she applied her skills to writing fiction. Using biblical allegory, Shawn fulfilled Briana's request for a good, old-fashion fantasy adventure. God blessed the initial effort to twenty books, along with participation in events across the country. The volume of books also includes non-fiction Bible Studies for children and women.

Rob always accompanies Shawn to events where she speaks and conducts workshops. Briana designed all the characters for the fantasy series while Rob provides illustrations and cover designs. Sometimes Briana joins them at events. This has truly become a family endeavor, and a witness of how families can work together to bring glory to God in a secular setting or church gathering.
