Into the Light - Part I

Gerald W. Searle

Maison d'édition: Austin Macauley Publishers

Synopsis

Into the Light begins early in the third decade of the first century of the Common Era. And it is set during the reign of four Caesars: Tiberius, from 14 BCE to 37 ACE; Caligula, from 37 to 41 ACE, followed by Claudius, who rules until 54 ACE; and finally Nero, who rules from 54 ACE until 68 ACE, who all rule over a vast empire that includes Israel and Palestine and would rule for eight hundred years.

But the kingdom, or empire, if you wish, started by Yeshua, a humble carpenter, and continued by a fiery fisherman, Peter, and a courageous tentmaker, Paul, would outlast the Roman Empire and all other empires that would follow and continue to grow and flourish in the midst of persecution, right up to the present time and forever into the future.

Into the Light is set in the time when the Good News brought by Yeshua, a humble carpenter of Nazareth, for which he lived and died, is continued to be spread by over a hundred apostles and disciples, men and women, especially chosen by this Yeshua to spread his Good News of salvation for all. And to spread his new faith and way of life that is destined to change the history of humankind forever.

What unfolds in Into the Light is unimaginable. But at the same time the characters of Into the Light, led by the fisherman, Peter, and the tentmaker, Paul, will touch you deeply. Will uplift you, inspire you, and take you to where you have never been before. You will be taken out of the darkness and into the light, where peace, love and joy await you.

Louise Croft

Fifty years after being rescued from the cellar of her parent's bombed boulangerie in summer 1944 by Joseph, an old soldier, Rose-Marie receives notification from a French notaire that she has inherited his house. He insists she must view the derelict property before he can deal with it. She is terrified that the nightmares she has suppressed from her traumatic childhood will return if she goes to France. She begs her daughter, Laure, to meet the Notaire, view the house and locate her old school teacher, Britt Zeigler, if she is still alive. Britt can explain the reason for the inheritance and why Broussac was targeted for obliteration by the Das Reich Division.

Laure rents a house in the village of St Martial near Broussac, but the local people are suspicious of a young Australian woman asking questions about the war. Laure is confronted with malice and hatred in the nearby village of Villane-le-Foret. They say that her grandmother, Liliane, was denounced as a collaborator with the Germans and worked for the Resistance and was executed as a traitor.

Can Laure uncover the true story of her grandmother's and mother's lives in wartime France? Can she trace Britt Zeigler in a country that has a different history and language from Australia? Laure travels to the foothills of the Pyrenees and meets Britt, who confirms she and Liliane secretly worked for the French Resistance and rescued orphaned Parisian children. Amidst the lush countryside, it's impossible for Laure to imagine the terrible impact of war, the lives lost and homes destroyed.
