5.0 out of 5 stars I thought "This Present Darkness" and Piercing The Darkness" were good .......... this was over-the-top!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2015
Verified Purchase
I understand now why several reviewers said this was their best Peretti book yet! I couldn't imagine how it could be after having just re-read "This Present Darkness" and being wowed again! I ditched digging into "Piercing The Darkness" again in favor of this which I'd never read before; ...... Wow!!!

A compelling read; from start to finish it kept me on the edge of my seat, eager to get to the bottom of things. There was no dull moment, and the satirical narrative running parallel to the historical flashbacks was brilliant. I had a number of good, tear-evoking laughs at the apt portrayals of several of the characters and their religious/denominational excesses! I loved the subtle but poignant message the storyline surrounding the protagonist Travis Jordan ultimately conveyed - that in spite of all the challenges and shenanigans religious (as distinguished from Christ-like!) people, systems and traditions tend to propagate, a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is the only thing that really matters and is what will sustain you when all that religious stuff fails. A personal relationship with the real JESUS on His terms is the only true way to transformation and living a life that truly counts! It was so beautiful to see the burned out, somewhat cynical minister restored in his relationship with Christ as God brought him full-circle through his unwitting involvement with the false Christ situation. The book poses a great incentive to believers to get solidly grounded in the word of God as the predicted days of deception worsen. For those unfamiliar with the bible, it's a great thought-provoker and inspiration to go dig into it to discover the truth for oneself.

I recommend this book to both the believer in Jesus and non-believer alike, although the person who was brought up in church or who is familiar with various church traditions will benefit most from the humor lacing the religious descriptions and experiences!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gripping Story
Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2022

This is one of my top 5 favorite novels. I have read the book multiple times over the years, and I continue to resonate with the story and get sucked into the plot. This book doesn’t have as much overt spiritual warfare as compared with “This Present Darkness,” but still deals with the fact that we are in a very real war. The characters, especially Travis Jordan, are so relatable, and the various aspects of the story are masterfully woven together. Themes of deception, exposing truth, and personal relationship with Jesus run throughout. A great book to read and reflect upon one’s own life. I heartily recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's like a combination of Christian suspense and John Green-esque coming ...
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2016
Verified Purchase
Interesting (and long) novel. Part supernatural, part life story of the main character, a disillusioned pastor (I'm guessing perhaps a lot of this might be biographical from Peretti? He says as much in the intro). It's like a combination of Christian suspense and John Green-esque coming of age, from an evangelical Christian youth's perspective, the high hopes and plans to change the world for Christ, and subsequent disillusionment when the Red Sea doesn't part the way you expect. It's actually a very clever and interesting story, if a little disjointed when changing between modern day events and the main character's life. I have to say, though, this is my first Peretti novel and am impressed to no end with the author's skills. Very engaging voice, interesting, fleshed out characters, and just a strong, overall talent. I can see why he's built such a massive audience. And he seems to have fun often with the average, overly-restrictive CBA reader by walking the line with language and content. Never crosses it but sometimes I can picture him smirking when writing some passages. I'll definitely check out some of his other stuff in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Visitation is well worth the visit
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2019
Verified Purchase
Honestly, I loved this book. I love the fact that Frank Peretti allowed his characters to doubt, to question, to poke fun at the ridiculous and to wrestle with their faith. Occasionally he presents things, and assessments of over denominations, from his Assemblies of God background; however, if one keeps in mind that this narrative is from the first-person perspective of a former Pentecostal minister, that sort of assessment is in character. What is remarkable about this book is the Peretti’s willingness to include other denominations as being composed of Christian sisters and brothers, despite theological differences. As a Methodist, I smile at one of the plot twists Peretti put into this story (without mentioning any spoilers). Aside from what I have mentioned above, this story is gripping, horrifying, suspenseful and inspiring all at the same time. A MUST READ MASTERPIECE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling and Conspiring
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2020
Verified Purchase
This is the second time I've read this book. Not only is it compelling and hard to put down, but it also inspires me in my own prayer life. It is July 2020. We are still in the middle of a world pandemic called COVID 19. A black man, regardless of what he was arrested for, was killed by a police officer pressing his knee against his neck as he was on the ground. All across the US there has been rioting, massive property destruction, attacks on police and innocent bystanders, and many murders as police are not allowed to respond. The economy has crumbled under the pandemic forced business closures. Sounds pretty hopeless. And yet .... reading this book gave me renewed hope. Knowing that my God is more powerful. Knowing that even my prayers matter. Praying God's blessings on Frank Perreti and his family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Frank's best book
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2023
Verified Purchase
I have enjoyed Frank Peretti's writing from the Cooper Kids to the "Darkness" novels, Prophet, Oath, and others. This one stands above the rest as a beautiful, and at time humorous, yet heartaching story of the peaks and valleys of the Christian walk through life: death of close companions, phony relationships, church legalism, the struggle to find meaningful purpose in the doldrums of life, etc.; but also commitment, courage, loyalty, and redemption. Frank put a lot of his personal experience into this book and it really shows. Highly recommended.

Frank Peretti is the best Christian-fiction writer out there and he never disappoints. For years my favourite book of his was "This Present Darkness". I now have a new favourite. I couldn't put it down. You will not be disappointed.

Peretti has the ability to create good suspense and is a born story teller. I was able to meet him when lecturing at the Booksellers convention in 1990. He had just published his 2nd book after Tilly and This Present Darkness All very worthwhile reads, as is his masterpiece "Prophet"
