The Light Bringer is an excellent book about the supernatural. It’s a very good make-believe book about Heaven and earth. I liked getting to know the sixteen people who died. It was interesting to see their life before and how it ended up. I enjoyed seeing how the main character got along with his family and friends. How he was compassiate for all people who lost loved ones.

"The Light Bringer" is unlike any other book that you will ever read. Each reader will have their own thoughts and interpretations of the story line. Why do awful things happen to decent people? Are any of us really prepared for sudden loss of life, or profound suffering and grief? What about the afterlife? Is there one? All of those things are well worth our contemplation, yet most of us put off dealing with our own vulnerability and mortality. The protagonist of "The Light Bringer" is Alan Cra...more
I had the opportunity to read the manuscript while it was still in edits and I must say it was unlike anything I've read before. Part police drama, part paranormal, and part inspirational, it is a thought-provoking book that left me wanting more from these authors.
The main character, Alan Crane, is a police sergeant who is recruited for a special assignment that takes him far beyond the realm of normal law enforcement work. For me, the book was literally a page-turner. I couldn't put it down bec...more

I won this book in one of the Giveaways here on Goodreads and I was pretty excited since it was one I actually thought looked interesting. But I have to admit, I kind of had to force myself through the first few chapters. Once I really got into it though, it was a lot more of an attention grabber. I'm glad I didn't put it down otherwise I would have missed out.

This book IS amazing....it is comprised of the true stories of 16 tragic deaths as a Police Chief and his Assistant Chief have experienced in their daily lives in law enforcement. These stories are taken beyond the pain and suffering that affect all of us when people around us choose not to do the right thing in life. It follows the good and evil into a world where their everlasting exsistence has been chosen by the life they have chosen to lead. This book will capture your heart and soul and pu...more
This book is okay as a strictly fiction book. It could be a story about what some people believe about the after life. I do not recommend it if you want a good Christian read.
The problems I had with this book are with its messages
1. Any god will work.
2. Being good enough gets you to heaven.
3. When you die you'll still fight evil
4. Those who have died can be prisoners in hell.
5. You still have some choices when you die.

This is an uplifting read with a strong Christian bent that asks you to think beyond the obvious when it comes to life and death, good and evil. THE LIGHT BRINGER provides a different face to what we think of as tragedy, and a different perspective to how many of us see law enforcement.
As a history lover, I especially liked the references to Norse and Greek mythology. It's a quick read, with lots of action, but you're likely to keep thinking about some of the concepts long after you put the book...more

I was not able to put this book down, I read it straight through and was just amazed. For those who have lost someone, it brings comfort that there are great things in store for us on the other side. There is a reason and a purpose why we are here on earth, but that is just the beginning of a much larger picture. It is truly inspirational and helps renew my faith. I look forward to reading more from these authors!!!
I really struggled with this book - I thought it was simply written and I didn't relate to the main character, an empathetic, compassionate police man chosen to direct people who have just died to the "other side". A metaphor for dark/evil: light/goodness. Just felt too preachy to me. Do people believe this? Is there something I am missing?
Why does God need 16 people dead? How does a cop who is really good at comforting the breaved fit into God's plan? Written by a couple of police officers from the St. Charles County area. I had to read it in three sittings but you can not forget about it. Helen recommended it but then told me she had not read it. Glad I read it.
I love this book!! Though it may be fiction it still gave me alot of peace after losing my daughter at the age of 17 in a car accident. I know she is a warrior for peace!! Great book!!
This police story takes a supernatural twist. Not generally my type of story but I enjoyed and, if he writes one, will read a follow up.
Suggest this one to those who are looking for Christian books. There are several intense scenes and a good detective storyline.
Really inspiring books authored by real cops who have intellect, empathy and a huge heart.
Inspirational,imaginative fictional view of heaven, the importance of forgiveness, choices, and the whys of death. I could not put this book down and felt uplifted even with the heavy topic. This is the first of a trilogy.
The Light Bringer is about this guy who finds himself in the position of helping people who have died find their way into heaven... some people have a very easy walk, while others have a very difficult way. It's about the war between good and evil and I thought it was very intriguing and enjoyed it. I don't think it's strictly Christian reading, I think it is something many other religions would relate too as well.
Interesting concept. Makes you want to live your life as good as possible with no regrets.
