An Encouraging Angel
Naomi’s Journey Into The Light follows a young woman, Naomi Larson, on a journey into faith and how it not only affects her life, but the lives of others. What was the inspiration for this story?
Actual events out of my own life provided the spark that led to this book. One such event occurred when I was only seven years old. Being diagnosed with polio, a deadly disease in the 1950s, the doctors delivered their dire prediction: I would only live two to three more years. While in the hospital I met my very own Sister Mary, just as in my book, who became an encouraging angel for me. Through prayer and faith, I’m still alive almost seventy years later. That ordeal in 1953 changed my life and later led to me to writing inspirational novels.
What is one piece of advice someone gave you that you will never forget?
My deeply religious grandmother advised me to never lose your faith in God and follow the path He lays out for you. I took that to heart. Something I’ve discovered on that path is that good books are truly mirrors of the soul of the authors.
How did writing Naomi’s Journey Into The Light affect you?
It’s been a humbling experience. Every day as I wrote this book, I felt connected to God on several levels as the story just flowed out of me. All through this process I was fully aware of the spiritual energy guiding me.
What do you hope readers will take away from your book?
To be open to the inspirational message that reaches into the heart throughout this story. To come to know how much God can be beautifully involved in our lives if we let Him in.

Naomi’s Journey Into the Light
Naomi’s Journey Into the Light is a story about Naomi Larson, a woman whose life encounters are both intriguing and inspiring. Naomi may seem like the typical girl next door, but her life is a testimony that God exists and loves his people. The author starts the book on a relatively sad note as the reader is introduced to 18-year-old Naomi, who has just learned that her mother is fatally ill. Now, this would be distressing for any child. However, mothers are pillars in most homes, and for Naomi, her mother being sick and possibly having a short time to live frightened her. It was unfortunate that her mother later passed on, but in her passing, Naomi came to understand some things that she was previously oblivious to.
Author Sam Rawlins writes about Naomi in the most natural way. As a reader, you feel you have met Naomi or can relate to some of her stories. Naomi’s life was not extraordinary life, but she was different. A lot of things happened after the loss of her mother. She encountered challenges, met good friends, met people who appeared to be guardian angels, and even found her path to God. Naomi also worked as a chaplain assistant in a hospice, which revealed to her the true purpose she had on this earth, among other things. Through Naomi’s story, Sam Rawlins can show readers how to realize their true purpose on earth, the journey of faith, and why religion is crucial for everyone.
As the author narrates Naomi’s and other peoples’ tales, the reader can pick lifetime lessons, notes on spirituality, and how to lead a righteous life. I especially like Sam Rawlins’s writing style, as he is charming and entertaining. Even as he writes about God, faith, hope, and being Christ’s soldiers, the author incorporates light moments in the text to make the reading exciting. Through the book, one realizes that we have often encountered God differently. You have probably met God through your work, at school, and in different seasons in your life, but you have no idea when it happened. I appreciate the author for making us reflect on our daily encounters and helping Christians strengthen their faith in God through the sacred text in his book. Every chapter in the book has a crucial lesson on finding the light and becoming a true child of God. Like Naomi, most Christians go through experiences that they may not fully comprehend at first but understand in the future.
Naomi’s Journey Into the Light is an inspirational book that takes readers on a spiritual journey. This well-written book will be an excellent read for believers aiming to live fulfilling lives, those facing obstacles, Christians battling spiritual wars, and those wanting to do missionary work. Sam Rawlins is a fantastic author with gems on spirituality, believing, and being God’s servants.
