A Father's Bedtime Story

LIGHTMAN

From the planet Litron to the heart of Earth

An epic adventure of light conquering darkness, a royal family's fight for justice, and a savior who brings peace, love, and hope to a broken world.

The Origin

How Lightman Was Born

It started the way the best stories do: a father, a daughter, and bedtime.

Night after night, the story grew. A planet called Litron. A royal family with a special gene. Evil forces rising. A boy who fell to Earth and was raised by a pastor's family in Wyoming.

What began as improvised bedtime adventures became something more. A complete seven-chapter epic that my daughter asked for again and again.

Now it's a book. But it will always be, first and foremost, a story told in the dark to the most important audience I'll ever have.

"The light was so bright that they could see it in other states. But it wasn't a light that blinded you. It was a light that gave you warmth. It gave you peace, gave you love, and gave you hope."

The Storyteller

About the Author

👨‍👧

Dr. Johnathan Hines

Father • Author • Storyteller

Lightman wasn't written at a desk. It was spoken in the dark, one chapter at a time, to a little girl who didn't want to sleep yet. She'd ask questions. The story would grow. Night after night, a universe took shape.

Years later, those recordings became this book. A father's gift to his daughter, now shared with the world.

"The best stories are the ones you tell to someone you love."
