Selah's ancestors left the United States several generations ago in pursuit of religious freedom. Their idyllic society is hidden from the prying eyes of the government. As long as they stay within the boundaries, they are protected from disease and sickness which ravages the outside world.But a different type of sickness is incubating in their cocoon of safety, one that surfaces with growing ferocity when one of their members chooses to leave. Now Selah is faced with the difficult decision to protect the people she loves and the place she calls home or to go against everything she has been taught--risking exposure of her community to the State--in order to save the very society they escaped.Interwoven with solid biblical teaching, The Light Bearer emphasizes prayer and the study of God's Word as essential elements for growing in one's relationship with Christ and the importance of the Holy Spirit to empower the believer.
