Meet and hear Ricky Mathews as he speaks about and signs Finding Hope: 25 Lifelines for Life's Storms on Thursday, September 17th from 6:00 - 7:30 PM at 301 East Scenic in Pass Christian. Books will be on sale for the Ricky's signature. 

Are you struggling right now, wondering if you'll ever find hope again? Or are you concerned about someone you care about who is going through a storm?

Life's storms come for all of us. After walking through my own, including battling undiagnosed dyslexia as a child, surviving Hurricane Katrina, overcoming PTSD as a first responder, and getting a wake-up call when my own heart stopped, and meeting so many inspiring people on my journey who overcame incredible challenges, I wrote Finding Hope as a practical handbook of hope for you.

This book follows the natural journey of hope, from the small spark inside us, through the hard testing and growth, to the point where hope shines brightly and then spreads outward to others. I share 25 battle-tested lifelines that offer real encouragement, hard-won wisdom, and the strength to keep going when everything feels heavy.

Hope isn't just found.

It's fought for - and meant to be passed forward.

If you need a light in dark times, or want to help someone you love find theirs, this book was written for you.

Ideal for readers seeking inspiration, resilience, grief support, and practical wisdom from someone who has lived every word.

Meet and hear Chris Danielson, author of Brother Outsider, Brother Insider, a biography of Pass Christian native Lawrence Guyot, on Tuesday, September 22nd from 6:00 - 7:30 PM at 301 East Scenic.

A Pass Christian native, Lawrence Thomas Guyot Jr. (1939-2012), known simply as "Guyot" (pronounced ghee-aught), was a pivotal yet underrecognized figure in the civil rights movement. As a Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) field secretary in the 1960s, he battled southern poverty and racism, championing voting rights for Black Mississippians. His leadership in the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP) highlighted tensions between the MFDP's electoral goals and SNCC's more radical stance. Guyot later moved into Washington, DC, politics, working alongside leaders like Marion Barry, shifting from a rural civil rights organizer to an urban political strategist.

Chris Danielson's nuanced portrayal of Guyot offers a fresh perspective on the civil rights movement. Through Guyot's activism, Brother Outsider, Brother Insider invites a reassessment of the era and the individuals who shaped it.
