( )If you want to understand the fight between Satan camp and God's Angel this is the book to read. Read This Present Darkness, firswt. Another amazing book by Peretti!! This man can't write enough page turners! This is the second novel in the Frank E. Peretti (This Present Darkness). It all begins in Bacon's Corner, a tiny farming community far from the interstate...An attempted murder, a case of mistaken-or is it covered-up?-identify, and a ruthless lawsuit against a struggling Christian school, Sally Beth Roe, a young loner, a burn-out, a kind of "leftover hippie," finds herself caught in the middle of these bizarre events, fleeing for her life while trying to recall her dark past. Across a vast panorama of heart-stopping action, Sally Roe's journey is a penetrating portrayal of our times, a reflection of our wanderings, and a vivid reminder of the redemptive power of the Cross. An engaging and compelling book. A copied review for you: From Library Journal This sequel to Peretti's This Present Darkness is built upon fundamentalist Christian ideas. As it tells the story of Sally Roe, who goes from spiritualism to conversion, it also traces a battle to save a Christian school from demon-inspired litigation. The human activities are again overshadowed by the battle between angels and demons, whom the author takes quite literally, giving them names, personalities, and dialogue. They influence all human activities, just as human prayer helps angels and hampers demons. Some readers may find this treatment religiously offensive or react negatively to the book's depiction of liberals. But this is a good story, and it offers insight into the kind of religion that sees demons behind every stump and angels in the hen house. Recommended for public libraries. - C.
