Christmas Greetings

Christmas Greetings,
I am so thankful to all of you for watching The World Over for being so attentive all year. Last week we aired a pretty special show that touched a lot of people. The email and calls about this show have been really overwhelming. But it is not surprising. Since the subject of the show was the legendary Jerry Lewis, such a reaction only stands to reason. I wanted to make sure that you saw the program. Below is a link which I hope you’ll share with others and watch if you happened to miss our airings:

I wish you and yours a blessed Christmas and a wonderful New Year. There is so much I have to share with you in it… Until then, be sure to tune in for our World Over Christmas Special on Christmas Eve until the New Year on EWTN. Merrily
Yours,
Raymond

Will Wilder is a mischievous, headstrong twelve-year-old with an otherworldly gift—he alone can see the nefarious creatures encroaching on Perilous Falls. For nearly a century, a sacred relic has protected his hometown from the raging waters surrounding it. But when Will “borrows” the relic for his own purposes, he accidentally unleashes an ancient evil.

As boats sink and hideous creatures crawl from the rising waters, Will must set things right before it is too late. With the help of his sweet (if lethal) Great Aunt Lucille, the curator of a museum of powerful artifacts, Will proves that the actions of one twelve-year-old boy can change the world.

Fans of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Peter Lerangis’s Seven Wonders series will embrace this first epic adventure in a rollicking new series by this New York Times bestselling author.
