Publisher Description
“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.” Ephesians 6:12
After the film in her camera is mysteriously destroyed at a small-town festival, reporter Bernice Kreuger knows she’s found something worth covering up. She brings the investigation to her boss, Marshall Hogan. Along with the local pastor of a struggling church, Hank Busch, they find something much bigger than they expected—a demonic plot to enslave their town and, eventually, the world.
The tiny college town of Ashton becomes the unlikely battleground in a cosmic clash between good and evil. Unseen by the human protagonists, armies of angels and demons wage war against one another in the spiritual realm for the souls of the people of Ashton. Up against supernatural forces, the future of the town seems bleak – but the power of prayer might be able to influence the outcome of the fight.
This fast-paced thriller birthed an entirely new genre, setting the standard for spiritual suspense. It has since sold over 2 million copies worldwide, sparking a renewed interest in the concept of spiritual warfare.
Customer Reviews
Spiritual Warfare 101
I read this book over 20yrs ago and it was a real eye-opener to me of the reality of the spiritual warfare going on all around us. I’d never seen it presented in such a clear and obvious way...
The biggest thing to take from it for me was the absolutely vital role that prayer has in the Battle.
The book is well written, has a good readable pace and I can’t recommend it (and it’s sequel ‘Piercing the Darkness’ enough.
This Present Darkness
An excellent book that can have you reading for hours. Couldn't wait for one chapter to finish so I could start the next. All though a book based on good and evil with Christian undertones, there was no point at which I felt I was being preached too.
I'd strongly recommend this
