Rating: Summary: The Best Sensation that I've had!!! Review: Before reading this book,I had no idea of what really happens in the spiritual world. I really woke up after this! Now, I'm the leader of youth at my church, and 9 friends of mine have read the book! I really would like to congratulate Mr Peretti! I've read all his books, already!God certanly blessed him writing these books and I wish He continuos blessing!
Rating: Summary: Pulp fiction confused with theology Review: Peretti relies heavily on standard "thriller" techniques not to be confused with theology. I am especially botherd by his portrayal of mainline Christians as the tool of the devil. I don't think this is healthy at all for the church or the gospel. The only thing I find more disturbing than Peretti's theology is the evangelical church's response to it. Some say it is a "revelation from God." It must be a new revelation because I don't see Peretti's world portrayed in the bible.I am also dumbfounded that people consider this the best book ever written. For me, it's not even close to Dickens, Hemmingway, Bronte, Fitzgerald and other writers of that caliber. Peretti has reminded us of the power of story. A well told story can be more powerful than centuries of systematic theology and biblical studies.
Rating: Summary: Eye-opening and page turning!! Review: This book will really open your eyes to the warfare that goes on daily in the spiritual world.

Rating: Summary: If you have any spare time, read This Present Darkness. Review: This Present Darkness was very good book. The story was so welll written that I could not put it down. Every free second I got I would use it to read this book. This book was put together very well. It wasn't one those books that every other word you word come to one would have to look it up. It was very easy to follow. He was so descriptive of some of the characters in this book (angels and evil spirits) that I could literally picture the characters in my head. I would recommend thid book to many.
Rating: Summary: Totally Awesome Review: This book lets us know what spiritual warefare really means. It makes me want to be in constant prayer for my loved ones and our leadership, especially in these times. Great book for those interested in intercessary prayer!
Rating: Summary: The power of prayer revealed at last! Review: Ashton could be any town, anywhere, but this is where angels and demons battle for the destiny of men. The story is so well written, with twists and turns that things are not always as they seem. A fictional account of spiritual warfare that I would like to believe is true. This book will change your view on prayer forever.
Rating: Summary: Awesome! Review: This book really makes you think. It not only shows how dramatic and how real spiritual warfare is, it strongly shows the importance of prayer. I don't know for sure if that's really how it works with demons and angels, but I don't have any better ideas. I am a Christian and I encourage other Christians to read it as well because it has really changed my view of prayer for the better. Plus it's also just a really entertaining and thilling book. Read it!
Rating: Summary: An excellent Christian novel Review: This is the first Christian 'novel' I have ever read. It really brings home the reality of Spiritual warfare and what goes on in the Spiritual realm and how God will use His mighty angels to assist in bringing about His plans and purposes.
