From Darkness to Light: The Power of Good

By Barry J Stone

Planet Earth is full of good, yet also evil. Light, yet also darkness. Bad things happen, but sometimes we get a glimpse of situations where those events bring about good and positive things.

These three stories tend to illustrate how such things might happen. In a world which is apparently descending into darkness there are people and places and situations where The Light shines through, clearly and brightly bringing faith and hope and much love.

Barry J Stone

Barry J Stone has had a long career in education and has written numerous educational articles. He has degrees from London University, Southampton University and Pretoria University. Retirement has allowed him to write stories which include his interests in spiritual matters. He tends to write with reality in mind, so the accounts in these three short stories are based on fact. Barry has a large extended family, has lived and worked in Southern Africa as well as in England, and he is currently 'retired' in Surrey. He is a member of an Anglican congregation in Thorpe which assembles in a village church which is more than 1000 years old.
