This Present Darkness is actually the very first book Peretti wrote on Christian Fiction genre. And it is this book that first got me personally hooked on Christian fictions.
It is an excellent book about the power of prayer and the very real spiritual battle that is being waged every day in our world unbeknownst to even most believers.
With a whole lot of edge-of-the-seat action and tongue-in-cheek humor (though the book starts out a bit slow for the impatient), it isn't long before things really pick up and angels are confronting demons, demons are cowering before higher demons, angels are escorting young and old believers to safety, and a struggle young pastor of a small church fights a spiritual warfare that has unnervingly become very much real in the realm we walk.
This book is a must for anyone who doubts the power of prayer.
Although it is fictional, Peretti's intriguing assertion of the spiritual battlefield believers tread upon daily is credible and urges us to open our eyes to reality.
Read an excerpt for This Present Darkness, and follow up on its sequel, Piercing the Darkness, as good as the first as it delves deeper into the hierarchy of demons.
