  <default_description>The two number one selling novels that have  captivated millions are now available together in one volume

The ware between good and evil is raging.  in two unremarkable small towns ordinary Christians are pitted against powerful leaders with the worst motives.  Behind every scene the spiritual realms are being shaken as the hosts battle for human souls.  And only the power of prayer can tip the balance...

&lt;i&gt;This Present Darkness&lt;/i&gt; takes place in the typical small town of Ashton where nothing much ever seems to happen. Until a skeptical reporter and a prayerful pastor begin to compare notes. They suddenly find themselves fighting a hideous New Age plot to subjugate the townspeople, and eventually the entire human race.

The battle against evil continues in &lt;i&gt;Piercing the Darkness,&lt;/i&gt; where a young loner fleeing for her life while trying to recall her dark past takes refuge in the tiny farming community of Bacon's Corner. There she finds herself caught up in the middle of bizarre events--from an attempted murder to a ruthless lawsuit against a struggling Christian school.

Across a vast panorama of heart-stopping action, these stories are a penetrating portrayal of our world, a reflection of its spiritual wanderings, and a vivid reminder of the redemptive power of the Cross.</default_description>

My reasoning being(at the time)that angels and demons really do exist and it didn't seem right to misrepresent them in fictional stories.

My only problem with Christian books like these is that they make it seem like God can't just take out all sorts of evil without the help of people, and also that good and evil are on the same level and need to be balanced.  I enjoyed reading these books though, &quot;...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18853862">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[For Christian bookworms looking for a good fiction read, Frank Peretti's writing will exceed expectations.  I loved the way that the story is unabashedly Christian but is written in a way that encompasses readers.  Personally, my prayer life got a new boost after reading this book!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I just started this read...it's been an eyeopener to the dark world around me; however, it has challenged me to PRAY and has shown me the TRUE POWER of prayer!! When I read this book, I imagine it to be my hometown Pampa, and Big Spring, Tx. Check it out!! ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I have read both of these books at least 5 times each... and everytime I can't put them down.  Peretti is such a page turner, even when I know what's coming on the next page...<br/><br/>Highly recommend for anyone who likes fiction page turners!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I absolutely love this series!  Peretti makes you think about the spiritual forces behind the everyday struggles in our lives.  It's kind of spooky, but so good to think that God has a vast army of warriors who are living among us.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[These were cool when they came out back in the day... My older brothers said I would be scared... so I read the first one in secret. Not as bad as I thought. Peretti is easy to follow... The second one is a bit more realistic... ]]></body>
