Lost Chronicles of Light Book 1 : A Christian Fantasy Adventure
Two best friends. One ancient book. Countless adventures.
Naomi Williams, a bright and determined girl with an unshakable faith, and Luke Miller, her adventurous yet skeptical best friend, are just ordinary 11-year-olds living in the quiet town of Everbrook, MI—or so they think. But when they stumble upon a mysterious glowing book hidden in an abandoned chapel, their lives are thrown into an epic adventure they never expected.
The book, The Chronicles of Light, holds the stories of legendary Christian heroes throughout history—yet many of its pages are blank. Why? Because Naomi and Luke have been chosen to fill them. Armed with faith, courage, and their unbreakable friendship, they are whisked away to different times and places, from the underground church in ancient Rome to the secret world of hidden believers in modern-day China. Along the way, they must battle forces of darkness that threaten to wipe out hope and faith from the world.
But as the challenges grow more dangerous and their bond is tested, Naomi and Luke discover that it’s not just their actions that matter—it’s the light within them that holds the key to defeating the darkness.
Faith, friendship, and adventure collide in this heart-pounding, inspirational series that will leave readers on the edge of their seats, cheering for the light to prevail!

This sounds like something I'd like...kids go into the past to learn spiritual lessons but it was poorly written and edited.
There was no character development and pretty much no description of the past times they visited... just that reading about it couldn't compare. But what did it look, smell, sound like? We don't know.
Also a character's name changed on the next page and almost a whole conversation was repeated. I will not be continuing the series.

I absolutely love love love the premise of this book! I do have a few constructive tidbits that I think will make this book series a 10 out of 10
1. We need backstory! This book starts in the middle of action which I don’t think flows well with this genre for children’s books. We need background information on the two main characters, Naomi, and Luke. Not only that time they travel we’re not given any backstory. Basically they show up in the girl knows exactly where they are and has a pretty keen idea of what’s going on. Having a backstory and an exploratory Storyline where they are discovering and learning the details of each place they are at would add richness to this story.
2. More information needed. The two children’s adventures are written from the girls point of view. She happens to be some sort of historian (there’s no backstory to really support this just a few lies in the text that leads to this understanding). The issue with this is that the background of where they are is presented in a way that presumes the reader knows the storyline. As an adult, I didn’t know most of the storylines! How much worse would that be for children who have no background understanding of the Bible, Bible history, whole world, history. Parentheses most kids nowadays can’t even tell the difference between their city and their state.) I believe, adding an exploratory storyline where the children learn where they are, what is happening in the political system around them, and about what the church looks like in that age would add a richness to the story.
3. Luke needs more attention. Luke is set up as the character who lacks faith in the story. Through the first two adventures that doesn’t change. In the last adventure, he has a good 10 minutes of spotlight where something ships a little bit in his belief. This is something I believe should be Given more attention and more room to grow in the story.
As I say from the beginning, I really love the premise of this story! Honestly, I see this first book being three separate books if the story is developed a little bit more. For this age range taken that exploratory learning grout would definitely help children to connect to the story and learn, spiritual and historical concepts Throughout each book. Honestly, breaking this book into three smaller books would allow for children to actually learn and develop an interest in the various time period being discussed.
These are my thoughts as an adult reader! Nevertheless, I pray that they are beneficial. Can’t wait to read the next book.

I enjoyed the message of faith, especially the way the author highlighted doubt and fear. But outside of that, the story felt a bit incomplete to me. The Book of Light transporting the characters through different moments in time is an interesting concept, but it doesn't go much further than that.
It's a low-stakes book without a physical antagonist, and the focus leans heavily on the spiritual and emotional side. Some kids may really connect with that, especially if thev're working through similar feelings. It just wasn't the best fit for me personally
Still, I always encourage readers to try things for themselves. This book might be the perfect fit for you or your children.

The book has a lot of Christian undertones. I started the audiobook with my kids without reading anything one it. Just a free audible quick pick for a car ride. The undertones quickly became apparent to me and soon to the kids. The reason I say undertones is because there isn’t really talk about God but about faith. It’s about having faith, finding faith, keeping faith, protecting your faith, but doesn’t really say faith in who/what. This may become more apparent in the other books, but we haven’t read them yet. However I will say if you are a Christian family it can open the door for some great conversations with your children about their faith as the who is known to them.

Says this is a Christian book but based on the authors other works I’d question that. I won’t read something labeled Christian if the authors other works don’t support a Christian lifestyle.
