This Present Darkness
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Ashton is just a typical small town. But when a skeptical reporter and a prayerful pastor begin to compare notes, they suddenly find themselves fighting a hideous New Age plot to subjugate the townspeople, and eventually the entire human race. This Present Darkness rivals The Screwtape Letters with its keen insight into spiritual warfare and the necessity of prayer. It is fast-moving, riveting reading, ranking with the best thrillers on the bookshelf. Readers have picked up more than 2.5 million copies since its publication in 1986, and, with its companion volume Piercing the Darkness, it has sparked great interest in spiritual warfare over the years. "Frank Peretti kicked open the doors that all of us Christian novelists are passing through today. We owe him a huge debt."
Ephesians 6:12 (ESV)

Though I've grown out of my "dramatic battles of angels and demons" phase, I still think this is a good book for the young-adult set. Though Peretti's moral focus is not as strong as that of CS Lewis' timeless classic "The Screwtape...

- Prayer Really Does Make a Difference!
I've always wanted to read this book, but never got around to it for one reason or another. This classic debut novel by Frank Peretti does what C.S Lewis' "The Screwtape Letters" did for a previous generation: It brings spiritual warfare...

- A great Saturday book
Because this is one of Frank Peretti's first books the story is good, but very simple. I'd read this book years ago, but as i re-read (listened to audio) I realized that it is good but basic. Characters are not developed well, and must...

- Awful book, worse theology
I am not sure if the author of this book has ever read the Bible. I can't find the words to describe all the things that are wrong with this book. Another review did a remarkable job. I just wanted to log my vote to show that there...
