The Company by Chuck Graham Book Review

About The Company: A meteor strike plunges the world into darkness. A stranger to the village of Brigos Glen restores power and light, supplied by three businesses, known as “The Company,” located beyond the forbidden mountains. The stranger reveals a plan so the Brigons can maintain the power and share the light with outlying territories, which remain shrouded in darkness. Now, seventy years later, The Company summons six Brigons, including the young engineer Sam Mitchell, to attend a conference in the mountains of the forbidden Outlands.

Responsible for compiling a report about Brigos Glen from his five companions, Sam learns how managers and villagers largely ignored the plan or compromised it to self-interest, forsaking their duty to share the light. They also took for granted The Company responsible for generating and transmitting the power.

In an ordeal fraught with failure, revelations, and judgment, Sam discovers the true identity behind The Company and learns the fate that may befall Brigos Glen . . . that is, unless he can stop it.

My Thoughts:

The Company, by Chuck Graham, is unique in that it seeks to entertain as well as educate.  It grabs your attention at the very beginning by replaying the agony of the Last Days on earth.  The world is destroyed but a few people manage to survive.  There is not much hope for the future until a voice is heard one evening in the darkness.  It says, "Would you like some help?".  Hence, the journey begins.  Chuck Graham has created a "parable for our time" in the pages of this book.  It's a work of fiction that speaks the truth of the Bible.  The Trinity (God the Son, God the father, and God the Holy Spirit) is a concept many seek to understand and through this story they may be better able to comprehend it.  I found it to be a bit like The Shack (William P. Young) in that it will appeal to fiction lovers but it also carries a Christian message.  It would be an excellent book for Bible study and would also make for intriguing discussions for a book club!
