A Frank Peretti book is hard to put down once you pick it up. I find myself often deciding to 'read one more chapter'. He knows how to draw people into his stories and, in the 'Darkness' series, he does a wonderful job of presenting the battles between good and evil. He is a marvelous author. I wait patiently, though eagerly, for the writing of his next book.

I enjoyed both books. With the 2 being in one, sometimes the arms get quite a workout, if you read it for too long! Frank Peretti is right up there with Ted Dekker. I've heard Frank speak, and he is one of a kind. If you are looking for an author who writes about spiritual warfare, just head for Peretti, because he is the best in the business! He will make you think about eternity in a whole new perspective. Frank isn't a new author, and he won't go away. He will be known as an inspiration for generations.

Join Tal and Guilo and other angels as they take on demons and the powers of darkness in the fight for souls! Frank Peretti digs deep into the soul. He also shows a very human side of life, teaching you and making it quite interesting and at times humorous. He has to be one of the biggest experts on spiritual warfare. As I said above, if you don't believe that, listen to him. The man does his homework. Now, if this isn't telling you what you need to know, you need to get one of his books. If he doesn't suit you, there's always Dr. Suess!

He's one of the best, and he will always be one of the best. What's more, he has our Heavenly Father on his side. An annointed man with awesome stuff. All for the glory of God! Can't ask for too much more. Check it out!

I realize it's fiction. But I think Peretti, through his writing, is giving us a great deal of insight into the spirit world. His angels. His demons. His humans!

It's important to me that there's more to gain here than just a good read. If entertainment is all there is to it, there are thousands of well writen secular novels already. But Peretti's novel is edifying and affirming to me as a Christian, a Christian that believes there's more out there than just the sweet by-and-by.

The Bible itself shows us that angels are among us. And Peretti shows us how and what they're doing.

Without question the best I've yet read from this author. I could not put down this down. I found myself reading into the wee hours of the morning. The end of each page is a cliff-hanger for the next. Brilliant work brilliantly done.

This combo was the first of Mr. Peretti's works that I ever read. I remember thinking
that the concept sounded rather hokey . . . Seeing the events from the level of the humans
and from the level of the angels and demons who were influencing them. But it really
worked. I couldn't put the book down and really felt for the characters. They were truly
compelling and it is always interesting to see how the primary characters will give their
lives to Christ. The angels, as well as two mortal characters, return for the second story,
which is easily as good as the first.

I absolutely loved reading this book. I was refreshing and imaginative. A great read.

I read these books several years ago and the experience changed my prayer life and the way I look at the spiritual world. This may be a work of fiction but it also reinforced my faith in God and his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. I have more courage now because I know that through prayers I can always count on God'ss protection in whatever I do and wherever I go. Just the thought of the angels' swords blazing and them eager to fight away the evil spirits whenever I would say my prayers is a very comforting thought in a world full of unexpected dangers and temptations.

Aside from its effect on my spiritual growth and prayer life, these books are also very easy to read and can give readers hours of escape. I almost didn't put the books down while reading them and was really hooked until the last pages. But I was reading these books while looking after my grandmother after her eye operation and had to check on her often.

I recommend that you first read This Present Darkness to under the Piercing The Darkness better.

This book started out interesting, then remained that way until the very end. My schedule didn't allow me to read this book in one sitting. Once I started it, I looked forward to any opportunity to read more of it. This was the first Frank Peretti book I have read, but it won't be my last. Read it, you'll like it.

I read this book a few years ago, and have since been passing it along to my now grown sons to read. It makes you think of the spritual world in a whole new light. It's great story telling and you don't have to be a christian to enjoy anything Peretti writes. I have read all of his fiction books, and look forward to more.
