The Visitation »

"The Visitation is fiction," writes Frank Peretti. "But it is honest. It is a searching of my own heart and a sharing of what I found with my readers. As such, it is the most difficult book I have ever written, yet one of the most satisfying."

We invite you to experience a thrilling novel from the master of supernatural thrillers. Peretti's book is at once a story of a crisis of faith and the ease of belief -- all intertwined with one man's spiritual coming-of-age.

Nothing interesting has ever happened in the small eastern Washington wheat town of Antioch -- until now. Without warning, Antioch has suddenly become a gateway for the supernatural, from sightings of angels and messianic images materializing in the sky to a weeping crucifix with the power to heal.

These miracles are only the beginning of something much bigger: the return of the Messiah as prophesied in the Bible. Then a self-proclaimed prophet mysteriously appears at a local ranch with a message...but is it from God?

In search of answers and hungry for miracles, the national media, along with the curious, flock in droves to the all-but-forgotten town. But what's great for local businesses has just the opposite effect on Travis Jordan. The burned-out former pastor has been trying to hide his past in Antioch. Now the whole world is headed to his backyard to find the Messiah, and in the process, every spiritual assumption he has ever held will be challenged. The startling secret behind this visitation ultimately pushes one man into a supernatural confrontation that will forever alter the lives of everyone involved.

The Visitation is an epic struggle between the forces of good and evil that will keep the pages turning -- and your heart pounding -- deep into the night.
