This Present Darkness/Piercing the Darkness by Frank E. Peretti (1997, Hardcover)

I love how Frank Peretti brings to life the reality of the spiritual world and incorporates it into the physical world....giving us a look from different angles.

I will hesitate before buying from seller again. Perhaps the water damage occurred while the book was being shipped but I don't know because I never heard back from the seller when I contacted him to let him know.
This is a fabulous Christian novel, full of suspense. I would recommend it to everybody.

I read these books before and wanted to get a hard copy to keep. It was great to get two wonderful stories in one complete volume. If you want to get a feel for what the spiritual world is like, read these titles. There is literally a spiritual battle going on around each person's life and as you read, you can see how God really is fighting for your soul to save it. He gives you the choice though and does not force you so he can have his way. But he does use circumstances to open your eyes to his reality, that he does exist, he created you for himself and he wants you to acknowledge him and accept him. Awesome, awesome books!!

I bought this copy of Peretti's novels, although I already had soft cover versions of each. I read far too many books to keep copies of each, let alone duplicates, so a hardcover edition with both books is exactly what I was looking for.

The two novels are each amazing works of fiction. Each depicts a spiritual battle taking place, and includes both human and angelic/demonic characters. Both novels are ones that you may NOT want to read late at night, but you may not want to put down either. The novels are suspenseful, very well-written, and inspiring.

My only concern is that as a Christian, it is easy to read a work of fiction, especially ones as well-written as these, and forget that it IS fiction. Keep the fact that it is fiction in mind, and enjoy them as such.

I ordered this book simply because I have read them both and found then interesting looking at the spirit realm from another angle. Those providing those providing the book were prompt, I received it in 7 days. It was in good condition as they stated and at a fair price in my opinion. I am pleased.

I wanted this book and got it! Heard many good things about it... especially how much it relates to real-life spiritual warfare. Just getting into it now.

I have read some of his other books, but these are my favorites. Peretti has a very unique way of looking at spiritual warfare. Through these stories, he does a great job of unraveling the mystery, so you keep guessing until the end. I would definitely recommend these books.

Good book. Was recommended by some friends. Book was in great shape. Love it! I decided to buy it because it was sold for a great price. There was nothing that I disliked about it.

I bought this 2-in-1 novel after a friend recommended it. I have not quite finished it, but so far it is very entertaining. The concept that angels and demons are fighting & intervening unseen in our everyday lives is unique and compelling. I would definitely recommend it.

This book describes the battles that demons and angels fight over us everyday. It gave me a whole new perspective on how God sends His guardian angels to watch over us. A must read for anyone who wants to know why the corruption in the world seems to exist on such a large scale and how we can be saved from that corruption if we only listen.

Two great books in one. A real suspenseful page turner. I would recommend these books to anyone. I really like the book and right now I am reading it to my kids. It is kind of scary but lets you know the truth about spiritual warfare. We do indeed wrestle against unseen evil in this world that is not flesh and blood. This book tells you that there is victory through Jesus Christ and through prayer.
