This Present Darkness

by CindyJean Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jul 08 '01
Pros: vivid imagery, emphasizes the power of prayer
Cons: can be scary
Introduction

Several years ago my mother-in-law handed me the book “This Present Darkness” and told me it was great, but a little scary.

I picked it up and started to read it, but for some reason the first few pages just...

Pros: fast paced,relevant topic, interesting, character development excellent

Another night grasping fruitlessly at elusive sleep. Thoughts rambling aimlessly through a clouded mind trying to make sense of .....

Let's go from Darkness into Light -

by lorace Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 31 '01
Pros: Exciting, fast-paced, worthwhile reading.
Cons: can't think of any!
I had read this book by Frank E. Peretti shortly after it was published. (1986) At that time I was working in a Christian Bookstore and had ready access to all the new books.

I was a little bit leery of it back then because of the...

The Power of Prayer!

by elzora, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Jun 14 '01
Pros: Opens your eyes to what the words "spiritual warfare" really mean!
Cons: Not totally theologically sound.
My Introduction to Frank Peretti
One of my brothers is a minister who reads a ton of books each year. I was looking for a good Christian suspense book for my husband for Christmas, so I asked my brother what he would recommend. You see, I...

A War in the Heavenlies

by emiejo , Apr 28 '00
Pros: Excellent Storyline...does not get boring or stagnant.
Cons: none
If you could see this "audio book" I have sitting in front of me now....you would smile....perhaps even laugh.

The case in so worn and tattered that it barely holds together and keeps tight inside my treasure of two cassette tapes...

The Power in Peretti's Words

by Roben23 , Feb 26 '00
Pros: great detail, Christian base
Cons: almost too much detail
This book was captivating! I've read it 5 times and each time I got something new from it. I recommend writing a journal as you read this book because of the implied meaning and then spiritual pathways it takes you through.
I read this book when I...

This Present Darkness

by cybershark5886 , Sep 24 '02
Pros: A very exciting real book that you wont be able to put down.
Cons: Not many. First two chapters are kinda slow but after that it busts wide open.
This was, in my opinion, an excellent book. It goes beyond your every day "story" book, and puts it into a reality that even you can relate to. It shows how demons will take advantage of you if you let sin manifest itself in your life. The power of...

This Present Darkness is on point.

by rn_vargas , Apr 09 '03
Pros: Excellent insight into spiritual realm.
Cons: The beginning is a little hard to get into.
There are many good things to be said about Frank Peretti's This Present Darkness, but what stands out were the MANY underlining biblical principles.

Obviously Mr. Peretti understands the hierarchy of the angelic and demonic hosts. Battles...

Made me a Peretti fan!

by agt99 , Jan 10 '02
Pros: Keeps you wanting more.
Cons: None in my opinion.
I am so new to this "Christian-Fiction" genre that it floors me when I realize what I have been missing. I started reading in this genre when I found a "Left Behind" book at a garage sale. After reading that book, people from church started telling me...

This Present Ignorance

by jdstevenson , Oct 23 '01
Pros: Good narrative fiction
Cons: Hateful theology if you take it literally.
(thanks to those that commented on first version of the review; updates reflect some helpful suggestions)

This Present Darkness tells the tale of a small town that finds itself the center of a spiritual battle between angels and demons. The...

Darkness is a Great Read!

by propupdate , Aug 20 '01
Pros: This Present Darkness is Peretti's first and one of his best!
Cons: This Freshman effort has few cons.
Frank Peretti is one of the only writer's in the Christian writer's genre willing to push the envelope without compromising his beliefs. I love to read his work. I'm also a fan of Stephen King and Peretti has been compared to the master of horror on...

Fight Not Against Flesh and Blood

by Sierra_22 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jun 05 '00
Pros: Really helps understand spiritual warfare
Cons: Not really something to be read at night or by kids
Peretti's artistically woven tale rivals some of Steven King's work when discussing issues that are quite frightening. Peretti's books, however, offer the hope that comes with being a Christian so when you're done reading this book, you've been...
