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.

He then migrated to Western Australia in 1980, with his wife and two children. In Australia he received two more qualifications in Counselling and Spiritual Direction.
