Visible in the Dark
Finding Grace in Life’s Shadows
By: Casey Dorland
Come on the ultimate police ride-along! You’ll experience real people dealing with real life and death challenges from the front seat! You’ll meet people experiencing the greatest challenges of their lives. You’ll be amazed some survived, and perhaps not surprised if they don’t. No call for service is the same. No outcome is predictable. Everyone you’ll meet will have one thing in common, they’re all searching for answers in a broken world, in all the wrong places.
You’ll find yourself leaning into the turns as we’re running code three (lights and siren) to the next call. When we arrive, you’ll see things through the eyes of a cop, often in the dead of night. Some things, you won’t be able to unsee. You’ll meet people you’ll never forget and find yourself praying even now for their healing, hoping they meet Jesus in time. Some of the people you’ll meet will share their confusion, pain, tears, and anger. Others will make sacrifices and bargains that will amaze you.
As each call comes to its inevitable conclusion, Casey will point you to the hope we have through the grace found in God’s Word. By the end of every call, you’ll see first-hand that grace is Visible in the Dark, and it’s all about the cross…
About The Author
Casey Dorland spent 31 years working in law enforcement in both California and Oregon. He worked in very rural locations where police “back up” options were very limited and conditions were primitive and encounters were dangerous. The term, “one riot, one ranger” would be apropos for many calls for service.
Buy The Book
Visible in the Dark shares a unique look into the daily life of a Christian law enforcement officer. These stories give you an inside look at what police officers experience at a gut level on any given call and how we find God’s grace in every situation, no matter how dark. Some calls will thrill you, some will leave you stunned and asking yourself deep questions that only God’s Word can answer. One thing is certain, you will never see a patrol car running with its overhead lights on the same way again, and you’ll find yourself automatically praying for the officer behind the wheel and the person they’re about to meet.
