![]() ![]() "Frank Peretti kicked open the doors that all of us Christian novelists are passing through today. ![]() Readers have picked up more than 2.5 million copies since its publication in 1986, and, with its companion volume Piercing the Darkness, it has sparked great interest in spiritual warfare over the years. It is fast-moving, riveting reading, ranking with the best thrillers on the bookshelf. This Present Darkness rivals The Screwtape Letters with its keen insight into spiritual warfare and the necessity of prayer. But when a skeptical reporter and a prayerful pastor begin to compare notes, they suddenly find themselves fighting a hideous New Age plot to subjugate the townspeople, and eventually the entire human race. Ephesians 6:12 (ESV) Ashton is just a typical small town. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. A small town newspaper editor and a local minister uncover a web of conspiracy while an unseen battle between the angels of good and evil takes place in the town of Ashton. Perettiās two spiritual warfare novels, This Present Darkness (1998) and Piercing the Darkness (1989), captivated readers, together selling more than 3.5 million copies. ![]()
