In The Absence of Light: A Christian Fiction Novel Kindle Edition

4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 17 ratings

“If I told anyone what I can see, they’d think I was crazy.
It’s like I'm living in a sci-fi movie. Normal people are all around me, but none of them know they have grotesque, bat winged demons with red eyes that are attached to their shoulders. They can’t feel the talons that are digging into their flesh. They can't hear what the demons are whispering in their ears, but all those evil words go right to their brains.
Darkness is gaining. I can feel it, and it’s terrifying. I know that I was born to fight the demons alongside warrior angels from another dimension, and I was given this vision to see other dimensions. But seeing what comes from hell is not a blessing.
I don’t think I can handle the weight of this responsibility. It will take a lot of light to push evil from the dark corners. It will take a lot of faith.
And as long as faith continues to diminish, humanity is doomed to extinction.”

In The Absence of Light is the first in a series of fast paced books featuring Gabe Matheson and his new young protégé, Pauley. Gabe and Pauley will face the ultimate tests of faith, will, and survival.

This must-read Christian novel is a page turner suspense you can’t put down. Readers are calling it a new classic science fiction series, compelling, gripping, and at the top of their list of exciting books. Be prepared to have your eyes opened and your mind expanded to new possibilities in the realms of spiritual reality.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

C. L. Ferrari, aka CheryLynn, began her professional writing career in 2016 at the age of sixty three. She grew up in southeast Florida, land of Caribbean tales of pirates and treasure, and enjoyed an active imagination, writing short stories and poems as far back as early childhood..

Ms. Ferrari's most recent years have seen her emerge as an artist, a world traveler, and now a fiction writer with the release of her first Christian fiction novel, a suspenseful page turner which crosses dimensions and whose main character possesses divinely bestowed supernatural gifts which help him fight for the survival of humanity.

In 2018 CheryLynn retired to Lake Chapala, Mexico where she and her eldest son run a small ranch called Rancho Loco, overflowing with rescues and a variety of farm animals. She writes and paints from her studio overlooking the mountains and lake with dogs always at her feet.

The battle between good and evil is real. God has a plan and we all have a part to play. Although this particular story is fiction...there is so much that relates to the times we are living in. Loved the booke and could not put it down.

This first-time fiction author has struck a home-run in my book. Reading this suspenseful tale, I had a hard time putting it down…a page turner! Although it's not necessarily my worldview, the constant duel between good and evil, and honest, believable characters and some plot twists I didn’t see coming make it a great read. Do yourself a favor and buy the book today!!

CL Ferrari has burst from the starting gate with this novel of the future - or is it our present - where elemental forces are at mortal war for the planet, our souls, and salvation. I tore through this book, and finally had to dole it out to myself, or I would have read it through in 24 hours straight. It’s that powerful, and riveting.

The author creates parallels with our current global issues and brought them to human scale. The characters are vivid, real, and we become them, it is we who are battling for our beautiful Earth’s survival, for God’s will, for our own redemption.

We can rear back from the abyss facing us, and we can survive. This book will show you how, and why. And it may just help you see your own part in the drama for survival.

Is it the Holy Grail? No, but it is darn close.

If you would like to feel more empowered and more hopeful about our future, buy this book, read it, and share it. It’s Good News!

I had a difficult time getting into this book so left it to the side for awhile but then decided to give it another chance. I couldn’t put it down. I was drawn into the county and became a neighbour to all, feeling their fears and their joys. I wish I could see and hear the angels and darkness like Gabe and Pauley but I can’t. Fighting the darkness is a constant battle as it can be very charming and subtle but with God on my side how can I lose! Loved the book
