Topher Channel

Why I Read

I read because stories remind me that hope survives storms.

The books that stay with me are the ones that point toward grace, love, compassion, and empathy. My hope is that every visitor to Topher Channel discovers a story that speaks to them and reminds them that even after the darkest chapters, there is still another page to turn.

Happy Reading -Chris

Get Ready for Back to School

Chris’s Corner

We are already in the month of August. Pretty soon we’ll be getting out the Halloween & Christmas decorations. I just want to say how important this time of year is. It’s important because our children, the future generation, is going back to school. Let us do everything we can to make this the best year for our children.
