Final Thoughts
With a gun pointed to your face what would your final thoughts be? Would you wish revenge on the person about to kill you? Or would you forgive them for what they are about to do?
After officer Derek Lightborn is killed in the line of duty he finds himself talking to Michael the Archangel. The Archangel offers to restore Derek’s life to deliver a message to the people of Earth. Our violent ways need to end or face a cataclysmic event.
Waking up in the hospital Derek tells questions if the meeting was real or not. Friends, family, and co-workers all try to convince him it was not real. But his memory of the event is so clear he is sure it had to be real. Eventually, questions about his sanity arise which threaten his job as a police officer.
Is this Christian police officer's faith strong enough to overcome the naysayers? How will he deliver the message? Will anyone listen?
Is it too late, can a simple cop avert a cataclysm?

About the author
R.J. Beam
5 books14 followersMy full time "day job" is in law enforcement. I first started as a police officer back in 1999. Like most cops, I started on patrol and have worked up the ranks in a variety of positions.
For most of my career, I have been one of our department's evidence technicians. Some places call the job crime scene investigator or CSI.
In addition to police work, I spent some time as a firefighter. As someone with both a fire and police background I find myself being the local de facto fire/arson investigator.
Most folks would say CrossFit and books are my two primary hobbies. My enthusiasm for fitness has led me to get various coaching and personal training certifications. I don't have a regular coaching schedule but do train some people once in a blue moon.

Derek is a policeman on the night shift when, during a call, he’s shot in the head. From there, he’s transported to a meeting with the saint tattooed on his arm, Michael, who informs him that God has chosen him for a mission: to save humanity.
When he returns to his body, Derek is overwhelmed by the task of healing, as well as figuring out how to fulfill the archangel’s order. He soon realizes he has many barriers to hurdle in order to do so, including the opposition of political leaders, the media, and even his family and friends, who are all opposed to his new public presence and message. However, he doesn’t waver in his undertaking, as he fears the consequences of failure more than widespread ridicule, and wonders if his efforts will meet the challenge placed before him. RJ Beam deftly details the outcome in this short but riveting story.
