In Mark Nickerson's second book, Behind the Blue Lights, in addition to his usual hilarious stories of life as a Maine State Trooper, Mark delves deeper into the reasons people become law enforcement officers, and offers some poignant insight into the difficulties of life behind the blue lights. It's not all fun and games being a cop, and in this book Mark shows us both the humor and heartbreak behind the badge. As an added bonus, Mark has included stories from the archives of the Maine State Police, some heartwarming stories from another Maine State Trooper and the son of a Howland police chief who explain how the Maine State Police made a big impression on their lives as children. You'll laugh out loud at the rendition offered by one of Mark's friends as she meets the "Nissen bread man" (aka Warden John Ford). Then, you might take pause when reading the story of "Patty and her Bicycle,"it's a stark look at the emotional side of police work when dealing with children and death notifications. The last chapter offers a heartrending reminder of the ultimate price some police officers pay in the line of duty. Mark and his legendary friend, John Ford, former Maine Game Warden, Sheriff, and now author, delight audiences in Maine and beyond with their tales of law enforcement back in the day in their "Blue Lights and Funny Cider" tour.

When Helen Smallbone and her husband David packed up their six children, including the Grammy-winning Rebecca St. James and For King and Country’s Luke and Joel Smallbone, and made the move from Australia to the United States, it was under the promise that God would always provide, no matter the hardships. In Behind the Lights, Helen’s goal is to inspire by example what it means to really let God lead, which almost always means living outside the expectations set by society. Living counterculture to the world’s ways, even to the church’s “religious” traditions, creates circumstances that tests one’s faith and reveals just how committed we are to living for His plan and not our own. Helen’s family’s journey--including an empty house in Tennessee, the generosity of neighbors, and an all-hands-on deck approach to an international concert tour--is a living testimony of what it means to trust in God’s promises, leading, and timing, especially when difficult circumstances challenge our faith. She gives her own unique, inside view of the successes and setbacks her family has endured and the constant faithfulness and provision she received from God along the way. He has redeemed each loss beyond what she could have hoped or imagined and knows that what He’s done in her life, He will do in ours.
