This present darkness here today?

Listening to the spell binding unfolding of the spiritual war going on for the town of Ashton, I cannot help but wondering if this is going on right here and now for America. Frank Peretti is at his best in this spiritual warfare saga and in my opinion he does an excellent job in describing how Satan and his demons can get a foothold in people's lives and how they can influence people's decisions by painting a completely different picture of their appearance and the subleties of their deceptions. I hope people can use this bok as a guideline to the warfare that is going on right here among us. This book and it's sequel "Piercing the darkness" are two books no Christian should be without. I rank it right with C.S.Lewis' Screwtape letters.

This Present Darkness

The story is excellent. However, the narrator did not do voices, emotions, or women well

Peretti Provides Another Mystery

The battle between the forces of good and evil is examined as if we had a special pair of eye glasses that could see the realm of angels and demons. Good listen...

GRIPPING. I didn't want to put it down!

The book was wonderful and really made me think. The narrator was great! I I look forward to the next book!

Absolutely Captivating!

Upon downloading, I was skeptical I would stay interested for 16+ hours. But WOW! Jack Sondericker brought this story to LIFE! I couldn't wait to listen each time I had a spare moment. Frank Peretti's representation of spiritual warfare and the spiritual realm was so believable, I found myself bolder in prayer and more aware of these dynamics in my own life. This book, while "fiction" has really built my faith. I will passionately recommend this book/audio to others and I pray for the team that will someday produce a worthy movie.
