The Visitation

By: Frank E. Peretti

Narrated by: Tom Taylorson

Needful Things meets a Pentecostal revival in this Christian suspense novel about a mysterious stranger coming to a sleepy Northwestern town claiming to be a prophet.

Travis Jordan, a widower and burned-out pastor, hoped to disappear into the quiet, unassuming town of Antioch, Washington. Then a man claiming to be the new Christ arrives, performing miracle after miracle, and the national spotlight soon follows.

As the town escalates in its religious fervor, Travis must battle with his own questions about his faith and the increasing extremism and zealotry overtaking the town. The startling secret behind this visitation will ultimately push him into a supernatural confrontation that has eternal consequences.

Another masterpiece. enjoyed every minute of it

I enjoyed every minute of the book. Highly recommended book for everyone to read and reflect

A Bit Uneven

This book overall is excellent. It's got everything you look for in Christian fiction. It's rooted in Christian life, but has a nice story to follow. However, it goes off the rails a bit as it goes along. It's not that it's dated so much, as just hard to follow. It flashes from present to past tense in a most confusing way. The past storyline is lovely, and then when it abruptly switches to present tense it is jolting. And the bizarreries with the "messiah" figure just go on too long, but not terribly so. Tom Taylorson's narration is excellent. Overall, it's very good.

The “Stephen King” of Christian Writers

Amazing as usual. Everything he writes is awesome. It is really great to find Christian fiction that is both entertaining and realistic.

Good book!

The book started off a little slow, but got very exciting to listen to as the story progressed. I would recommend it to anyone as good reading and listening material! It also gives a very good description of the difference between religion and having a close relationship with God!

A warning to the faithful

This is a great Christ based novel that gives perspective. A lot of relatable insight and feelings of honest depth.
