Using Words to Bring Light

Into the Light - Book 1

The Children of Light Series

Children of Light is a six-book Christian End Times saga that follows ordinary believers after the Rapture as they discover that obedience to God is not safe, not celebrated, and not always understood—but it is always worth the cost.

Blending speculative fiction with Scripture, testimony, and spiritual formation, the series traces how faith matures under pressure, how darkness normalizes itself through systems and power, and how God’s Light is carried forward by those willing to surrender control and remain faithful without certainty.

In Into the Light, the first book of the series, readers are thrust into a world teetering on the edge of collapse. Governments rise and fall, darkness spreads across nations, and faith itself is tested in unimaginable ways. In the shadows of global upheaval, God begins to awaken a remnant who will carry His Light into the darkest places.

At the heart of the story is Emma, a young woman determined to cling to her faith in a world that has declared war on truth. Surrounded by uncertainty, betrayal, and escalating danger, she faces impossible choices: protecting those she loves, remaining devoted to Christ, and risking everything for a calling she barely understands.

As alliances form and dangers close in, Emma’s path becomes a journey of courage, sacrifice, and unwavering trust. The greatest battles are not only fought against visible enemies, but within the human heart.

Into the Light invites readers into a story shaped by eternal choices—where Light is received, obedience is costly, and faith must endure without certainty.

This is a story for readers who seek faith-centered fiction that wrestles honestly with darkness while remaining anchored in hope.

A little about the Characters


Into the Light is a faith-based, Christian, speculative fiction, clean romance novel set seventy years after the Rapture and ensuing apocalypse. The series follows the lives of Emma, Kaiden, Levi, and Grayson as they seek to carry out God’s will. Join them as they strive to save the world from a dark enemy who threatens to eradicate God’s Light and consume the world in shadow and darkness.

Emma’s Gift of Light – A Blessing or a Curse?

Having the gift of Light is an honor and a blessing, except for Emma. Although Emma has the gift, she considers it both worthless and a curse. In addition, she must hide it and never reveal that she has the gift. However, when the life of her adoptive mother hangs in the balance, Emma is faced with a life-or-death decision. In the end, her decision to save Cassie, her adoptive mother, rather than protect her own true identity, is a threat to her life. This selfless act throws Emma’s life into turmoil, hurling her from safety and security into the unknown, at the mercy of others.

Levi

In the meantime, Levi is a retired Light-Warrior and trainer who grudgingly serves as the Thirteenth Elder. As a widower for many years, he wants only to be left alone to tend his herb garden and medicines. However, when the Council Elders reject an untrained White-Light for training, their decision forces Levi to act or risk leaving her vulnerable to exploitation.

Kaiden

Kaiden is a Light-Warrior and the leader of the Elite Team, a group of highly trained and extraordinarily skilled warriors. At thirty-four, he has but a year left in which to receive a Light Partner. Without her, his capacity as both a warrior and a leader is threatened.

However, when an angelic messenger tells him his Light partner is on her way, his excitement is clouded by preconceptions of what that means. The Angel also warns Kaiden that he must protect her, for she will face grave danger. Yet, despite the angel’s message and warning, he is blinded by man’s rules, and he fails to see God at work.

So, Emma, Levi, and Kaiden find themselves in a post-rapture, post-apocalyptic world on the brink of war. Although it is a war everyone knows is coming, they are desperate to avoid it.

A Dark Enemy

Finally, what is a story about God’s Light without a dark enemy? A dark enemy who is lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Will Emma, Kaiden, and Levi be able to overcome their limitations and preconceptions to follow God’s plan? Or will they fail and succumb to the threatening darkness?

Blessings,
