I remember there being swordfights between angels and demons in Piercing the Darkness and This Present Darkness by Frank Peretti... ... have a few friends who love his stuff though, and have read everything by him. I read Peretti's early, well-renowned books (This Present Darkness, Piercing the Darkness) and while they were definitely 'forces of darkness' types of books, it didn't really bother me because a) they were the ... I finished This Present Darkness on Monday. I liked the story, but found the writing a bit annoying. I was getting a bit sick of the word "sulphur" and it's various versions. I thought the book would be aimed at a predominantly Christian audience, and have been surprised to find people of other ... ... Robin Cook

... ... I can see why it's a classic, the writing is beautiful and there are delicious moments throughout the book.
Next up is This present darkness given to me by a lady at my church who loved it, although her husband hated it. I guess it's appropriate Easter reading. 4. This Present Darkness by Frank E. Peretti
This was a really good book. It's a classic good vs. evil plot with the added bonus of actual angels and demons fighting in the background. I'm really glad I read this classic Christian fiction novel. I plan on reading the sequel, Piercing the Dar ... SO glad to hear you liked Firebird's Vengeance... I really need to get on that...
Also, I read This Present Darkness many years back, when I was in high school, and I remember finishing it late at night... and then not being able to sleep for the rest of the night, and when I did, I had ... ... the child innocence that informs every event -these things create a marvelous novel that I recommend to all really.
9 - This Present Darkness and 10 - Piercing The Darkness by Frank Peretti
These are old favourites, ones that I read whenever I need some spiritual nourishment in the form ... ... Hehe. I always did like Bodie Thoene's work though (the series starting with Vienna Prelude) - very moving. And I loved This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness, but that's about it.
I haven't myself read Flannery O'Connor, or even heard of her, TT. I'm not very knowledgeable on ... ... kner

143. A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers by Xiaolu Guo ... that some it is pretty bad, but like any genre there are a few authors who make it worthwhile. Some gems I'll mention are This Present Darkness by Frank E. Peretti and The Circle Trilogy (Black, White, Red) by Ted Dekker are really good urban fantasy thrillers with a Christian ... Sounds like Piercing the Darkness by Frank Peretti. He first wrote This Present Darkness but I think Piercing was a scarier book.
