From Amazon.com

A burned-out minister in small town Antioch, Washington, must wrestle with his confusion and cynicism when a self-proclaimed messiah takes over his ministry. The replacement minister looks like Christ. He even heals the sick and performs miracles. Could this messenger of hope and renewal be the real thing?

At first, this small town is abuzz with reports of miracles and religious sightings (a weeping statue of Christ, a disappearing hitchhiker warning of Christ's arrival, a soothing angel). But suddenly there's a twist of evil and demonic mystery in the air. It's up to the jaded minister Travis to track down the real story behind this visitor and somehow find a way to stop him.

Frank Peretti has been a hit sensation in the Christian thriller market but admits that up until now his books have surfed in the shallow waters of pop fiction. In The Visitation, Peretti has worked his craft more carefully--exploring how suffering leads to disillusionment in God as well as deepening his characterization. (The main character is a thinly disguised reflection of Peretti's own bout with doubt.) Fans will be relieved to know that Peretti is still dedicated to suspenseful drama, and there's still plenty of spine-chilling mayhem when all hell literally breaks loose on this small-town cast of characters. --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.



From Booklist

Though there are elements in Peretti's latest novel reminiscent of his contemporary Christian fiction classic, This Present Darkness (1989), this time he tells a quieter, more personal story that reflects some of his own experiences as a minister. It's told from the point of view of a lonely widower named Travis Jordan, who feels he has failed as a minister in the little town of Antioch, Washington. He and his replacement in the pulpit, a fervent and earnest young man, are called upon to do battle against a false christ. Not an Antichrist, but a drifter, "Brandon" has assumed many identities. The false christ heals the sick and the lame, but there are hints that he's under Satan's power and that his miracles are hollow. Travis traces his history back to rural Texas, where the young Brandon, then called Justin, was nailed to a cross by his zealot father. Thus was born the false christ. Events in Antioch grow ever more bizarre and violent, with other christs showing up to denounce each other and a showdown brewing at Brandon's ranch. A fine Peretti effort distinguished for its honest considerations of religious excess: from the zealotry of born-again teenagers, convinced that signs from God are all about them, to the impersonality of a great church in Los Angeles, so big that the minister can only be seen on closed-circuit TV.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Disappointing, Jui 1 2004
Par Michael R. Brant "Abstract Secant" (Chula Vista CA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Frank Peretti in his other books I've read usually takes awhile to actually get into his story but this book didn't really take off until page 300 something which really angered me because the whole book was only 511 pages. So about 2/3s of it was pretty much useless information.

Throughout the book there is this prophet in Antioch Washington, proclaiming to be Jesus but he actually has a lot of demonic influence, but fools the town through healing and miracles. The book shows his corruption and shows parallels he has to the main character in the book, Travis.

Peretti shows a lot of Travis's past to show the parallels, but thats the useless information. I think in this instance Peretti included all the extra information to merely make his book longer.

Although the ending of this book was good, the last 100 pages of so, overall the book wasn't that great because the first 300 or so pages were so boring. Also the book was entirely religious, so hence is not recomended to non-christian/catholic people.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Frank is keepin' it real, Mai 9 2004
I would not be surprised if this book is autobiographical, Peretti has so many stories to tell within the story of this book about being a young Pentecostal Christian, a struggling and poor new husband, and a founding pastor of a tiny church in the middle of nowhere. The main story arc--a man who seems to be Jesus performing miracles and drawing followers in a small town--is enriched by many of these stories that could be called "flashbacks" but truly they are the life of the novel. This is the perfect book for everyone who has held onto the truth when everything in life tells you to let go.

5.0étoiles sur 5 He's at it again!, Janv. 29 2004
Par Drew T. Roe (Murray, KY USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Often times, when I read a second book by the same author, I find that I've gotten my hopes up so high that I just didn't enjoy the story as much because I expected too much. It happens so often that I've finally come to expect it. However, Peretti always bashes those expectations, and this book is yet another example of that. His ability to weave a new story together is incredible. It seems that very little is the same from the other stories. It just comes with a strong Christian theme. In "The Visitation," I found an intriguing story of a false Christ, come to a town to show them how things could change for them if they would just embrace him. I think this book is an excellent reminder of all of the false Christs that are out there right now! The fact of the matter is, we need to be aware that there are many out there trying to mislead us. However, if we will stay in touch with Jesus, we are on the right path. Frank Peretti holds to that theme all throughout his different books. I, for one, applaud him for it, and can't wait to see what he has to offer next!
