This Present Darkness

Rating:
Summary: Good story, average writing
Review: Peretti's storytelling skills carry the day for this book, and it's a good thing because his writing skills are average. His characters are too predictable - what some people call "flat" or "two dimensional" - while the jargon and cliches that permeate the conversations grow old quickly. Overall, this was a fairly good novel, but not one that encourages a second reading.

Summary: Should be read by every Christian.
Review: This was the first Christian book I read when I was saved (5 years ago). It opened my eyes quickly and dramticaly to the forces of good and evil surrounding us. This is an excellent book for new believers because it will give them insight the the unseen world and let them know it exists and is very real!!

Rating:
Summary: This is an ouststanding story about good vs. evil
Review: This is a great book to learn about the evil forces at wotk in the world. The story highlights how we must be aware of evil all the time.

Rating:
Summary: The best Christian novel ever written
Review: This is classic Christian reading, though it might appeal to secular audiences as well because of the fast-paced movie-like action. The Bible doesn't say much about the warfare between angels and demons, but Mr. Peretti takes what there is and turns it into an incredible reading experience. This Present Darkness is the Lord of the Rings for Christian fiction.

Summary: A wonderful book of ethics and spirituality!
Review: This book takes fiction and mixes it with the reality we live in everyday. This book reassures us that wonders happen around us, and that the only power out there is the love and divinity of Jesus Christ. Even from an unspiritual perspective, the "aura" of this book screams to our heart and soul. Thanks Mr. Peretti!

Summary: this present darkness by frank peretti
Review: A great example of the protecting power of our God, even in fiction we can marvel on his glory. I have to thank Mr. Peretti for being a vessel of the holy spirit, as I read this book I could fell the hairs in my neck standing for I have also felt the attacks of daemons on my soul, I also cheered for the heavenly host. Taken this for what it really is; a fiction work full of wonderuos entretianment. But also deep inside it makes you wonder of the power struggle between God and the Devil and how in faith we the True Saints of God can abolish the attacks of satan

Summary: One of the Most Outstanding Books that I've ever read
Review: Frank Peretti had to just state that this book was fiction but the potentials of this being real life are just an eyesight away. It's like he saw into the Spirit realm and just came back to tell about it. I have told so many people about this book and they have been so blessed by it. Of course, they had to buy their own or I bought it for them. My book doesn't leave my sight. :-) Please make a movie out of it. I'll be the first ticket buyer. Thanks Mr. Peretti for the blessed opportunity to read this. Charles

Summary: Even God wouldn't like this book.
Review: The premise of this book was ridiculous, even if you're religious. I know this book was supposed to make the readers feel reverent and all that, but all I felt like doing after reading it was going to the nearest religious paraphenelia store and berating the owners.
