This was awesome, and it was such a bargain! It was way more than I ever expected!

This was a very interesting novel based on forces of Good and Evil in spiritual conflict regarding Christianity vs A Universal Mind concept of humanity. Am now reading the second of the three in the series. Shows the struggle for power over humanity and the future of the human race.

I was glad to find the 3 books together. I plan to give them to a student of mine. They are in "perfect" condition.
Thanks,

These books are compelling and hard to put down! What a way to spend an afternoon!

These were a gift for my son who is 15 and an avid reader, especially of David Gemmell. He read all three and said he liked them very much.

I would much rather my teenager read these books than the popular vampire books that are currently out. When she is reading these books, she can hardly put these books down.

The three pack of Frank Peretti books, present darkness, piercing the darkness,and prophet was a great buy and I would recommend this to any one. It was nice having the stories together so I could read them in order as each book ties into the other books. The stories themselves made for great reading. I have never heard of Frank Peretti before and had to read these works as a class project. I am so glad I found them, they are a great read, fast paced, and whether your a Believer or non- believer, I think you will be well entertained and you can't beat the price.Piercing the Darkness

This was the first book that I have read by Mr. Peretti. I must admit I had my doubts, but now I must say "WoW!" I now truly believe in angels. The detail that Mr. Peretti gives about spiritual warfare is amazing. It assured me that God is really working on our behalf we just have to pray, pray, pray!

These books shows the worlds dark side. Worth the read if you like to be scared.

Frank Peretti's books were recommended to me by our prayer group leader. All he said was something about "angels" and "spiritual warfare". Well, after having read these books, all I can say is, "Wow!" For Christians who remember what St. Paul wrote about our struggles being not against flesh but against the powers and principalities and world rulers of this present darkness (Ephesians 6:12 will give you the direct quote), these books make sense and cause us to remember that our most potent weapon is prayer. And it gives us a new appreciation for the guardians that God has given us for our protection.

This Present Darkness is an incredible book! The plot is gripping and thought provoking! The book is about the spiritual warfare that occurred in a small town when demons sought control of the town by influencing and inhabiting humans. The town's only chance of surviving was through the help of 2 newspaper employees, the prayers of a young pastor's small congregation, and the mighty warrior angels.

I liked how Mr. Peretti illustrated the extreme good that can come from prayer. In the book, prayer strengthened many of the angels. I was also intrigued by the significant role that demons and angels play in this world. It had never occurred to me that demons have so much power and influence over the thoughts and actions of humans. I highly recommend this book for anyone seeking a deep and intriguing book.

This book is predicated on the false Christian belief that we are, when all is said and done, the ones who allow God to save us. The final "savior" in the book is not Christ or his substitutionary sacrifice but the power of human prayer. This novel perpetuates the false teaching that fallen people have the ability to decide for God and ultimately save their society. It is a feel good novel that puts the spotlight on the unbiblical notion that if we manufacture good works for God, then he will bless us. This "Christian" novel contributed to the silly notion after 9/11 that our prayers create a wall of defense around our nation. The novel is misleading at best. Go read Romans or Galatians again for the real way salvation works in the Christian faith.

"This Present Darkness". In Ashton, a doubting Thomas reporter and a troubled pastor conclude that their town is in the forefront of a holy war on earth. The side the tempted locals choose will have the edge. Fans of the forces of heaven vs. those of hell on battlefield earth with to the victors go the souls will appreciate this deep action-packed thriller.

"Piercing the Darkness". In Bacon's Corner, a factory worker with a dark history hides from her past until otherworldly events force her to look back to what haunts her. Demon driven law suits have risen as accusations and counter charges resound throughout the town with child abuse as its focus. However, the real war is at the local Christian school between angels and demons over the souls of the residents. This "Darkness" sequel is another powerful angel-demon war on battlefield earth.

"Prophet". Although his father constantly embarrassed the news anchor with his politically incorrect but piously principled beliefs; still he did not want his dad to die. To gain closure, the reporter needs the truth about the alleged accident, but that means breaking the first commandment of broadcasting that deception in support of a certain secular vision is required. Though radically different and not quite the action-packed thriller level of the two Darkness tales, this is a solid story centering on religious redemption at the cost of losing material possessions and reputation.

These three reprints placed in one package focus on a war for the soul of people. Though biased against a left wing perspectives, the novels lead readers to reconsider their relationships with God, family, and community. This three in one set makes a delightful holiday gift.
