LIGHT REALIZED
What if the “Light within you” isn’t a cliché—but a real invitation? You've heard, "Walk by the Spirit," and felt both drawn to it and unsure what it really means. This book helps answer the honest question: How?
Many people move through life with an underlying ache: anxiety humming beneath the surface, fear steering decisions, and the sense that life is happening to them instead of through them. Even when things look “fine” on the outside, something inside still whispers, There has to be more than this. They believe in God (or something beyond themselves), yet still feel stuck in survival mode—bracing for hard conversations, dreading Mondays, and riding the emotional roller coaster of circumstances.
Light Realized: Living the Realization—A Guide to Living from the Light Within is a heart-forward, practical guide for anyone longing to live with greater peace, clarity, and wholeness. With honesty, humility, and grounded insight, Jared Richey invites you beyond spiritual ideas that stay in your head and into a lived experience that reaches your everyday moments—how you wake up, how you speak to yourself, how you handle pressure, and how you show up in relationships.
TOPICS OF CONVERSATION
Why the book exists. An unexpected turn in 2019 sent him searching for why peace vanishes the moment something goes wrong.
Written for believers and skeptics both. Why advice like "just pray about it" is true but leaves out what to actually do.
Telling the heart from the head. How to know real discernment from wanting something badly enough to manufacture the feeling.
Fear, attraction, and what he is not saying. Nobody thinks an illness into existence, and he speaks from his own family to make the point.
Near-death experiences and the question of hell. Why he takes the accounts seriously without building a faith on them, and how fifty years changed his picture of hell.
His father's last night. The hospice room, the circle he kept trying to draw, and the name Richey had never heard him say.
What's next. A companion workbook in progress: twelve principles, one a month.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jared Richey is the author of Light Realized: Living the Realization — A Guide to Living from the Light Within. Drawing from years of personal reflection, spiritual study, leadership, and a growing practice of stillness and presence, Jared writes about what it means to move beyond simply believing spiritual truths and begin living them.
His work explores the intersection of Christian faith, contemplative awareness, and everyday spiritual transformation, with an emphasis on discovering the presence of God not as something distant, but as a reality that can be experienced within ordinary life.
In addition to writing, Jared is in his 29th year in education. Those experiences have shaped his interest in growth, relationships, identity, purpose, and the ways people respond to both success and adversity.
Through Light Realized, Jared invites readers to examine their inner lives, release limiting patterns of thought, and consider what might change if love, presence, and spiritual truth became something we lived rather than merely understood.

The perfect wife. The perfect motive. The perfect murder?
Ben’s influence deepens, and Monica's thoughts drift to darker places, imagining what life might look like without Andrew in it—and how far she might be willing to go to make that happen. As Monica is pulled deeper into a web of fear, manipulation, and obsession, the line between protector and predator begins to blur.
But who is Ben, and what does he really want? And who is the more dangerous one?
Is it Andrew? Is it Ben? Or is it both of them?

ME, MOM & THE MONSTER
"The results of your predictive testing are here, and they show that you did inherit the gene for Huntington's disease."
TOPICS OF CONVERSATION
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Corinne Brown was 10-years old when she told her teacher that when she grew up, she was going to be an author. A few decades may have passed since then, but the author’s dream was realized in June of 2026 with the publication of her debut book, Me, Mom & the Monster,
Corinne, a native Newfoundlander, grew up surrounded by books, newspapers and magazines. Her environment must have had some impact since she graduated from Memorial University of Newfoundland with a Bachelor of Arts and then went on to pursue a Journalism diploma at Mount Royal University.
Although her initial intention was to write fiction, Corinne says the story of Me, Mom & the Monster needed to be told first. She says sharing the intimate story of being part of a Huntington’s disease family opened the space for other ideas.
When she isn’t creating characters, and envisioning scenes and scenarios, she finds comfort in being outside. She lives in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada where she is continuously adding to her To Be Read stack and where she is currently writing her second book.
