Frank E. Peretti
75 books3,941 followersFROM HIS WEBSITE:
With more than 12 million novels in print, Frank Peretti is nothing short of a publishing phenomenon and has been called “America’s hottest Christian novelist.”
Peretti is a natural storyteller who, as a youngster in Seattle, regularly gathered the neighborhood children for animated storytelling sessions. After graduating from high school, he began playing banjo with a local bluegrass group. He and his wife were married in 1972, and Peretti soon moved from touring with a pop band to launching a modest Christian music ministry. Peretti later spent time studying English, screen writing and film at UCLA and then assisted his father in pastoring a small Assembly of God church. In 1983, he gave up his pastoring position and began taking construction jobs to make ends meet. While working at a local ski factory, he began writing This Present Darkness, the book that would catapult him into the public eye. After numerous rejections from publishers and a slow start in sales, word-of-mouth enthusiasm finally lifted This Present Darkness onto a tidal wave of interest in spiritual warfare. The book appeared on Bookstore Journal’s bestseller list every month for more than eight years. Peretti’s two spiritual warfare novels, This Present Darkness (1998) and Piercing the Darkness (1989), captivated readers, together selling more than 3.5 million copies. The Oath was awarded the 1996 Gold Medallion Award for best fiction.
For kids, Peretti wrote The Cooper Kids Adventure Series (Crossways and Tommy Nelson), which remains a best-selling series for children with sales exceeding 1 million copies. In August 2000, Peretti released the hilarious children’s audiocassette series titled Wild and Wacky Totally True Bible Stories, reprising his role as Mr. Henry, the offbeat substitute Sunday School teacher found in two Visual Bible for Kids videos.
Peretti released his first-ever non-fiction book, The Wounded Spirit in 2000, which quickly became a best-seller. The book addresses the pain of “wounded spirits” and was written as a result of painful childhood experiences.
Frank Peretti and his wife, Barbara Jean, live in the Western U.S. In spite of sudden fame and notoriety, Frank still lives a simple, well-rounded life that includes carpentry, banjo making, sculpturing, bicycling and hiking. He is also an avid pilot.

March 25, 2016The Gospel is a holy book revealed by God to Jesus christ to show the disputes in the previous holy book Torah. Again, the current Gospels are having lots of contradiction with the nature, life, science, logics etc. As an example, it says that the sun is a disc rotating around the earth. Whereas it's proven that the sun is a sphere and earth rotating around sun. That's why most scientists have denied that book. That is why God revealed another book which COMPLIMENTS the former books and CLARIFIES the former disputes which is the Quran which has zero contradiction. We know not all Muslims follow the Quran as it is a global book. It has a challenge that it is the final book and God promised to preserve it till the day of hereafter, and that no one can produce a single verse similar to its powerful wording and miracles in compatibility with humans life, nature, science, logics, etc. That's why the media is trying to say slanders against Quran and Muslims who follow it. In fact, if whosover follow it, there is no place for non-followers in this worldly life. For more info, write me with subject BIBLE at: mm00@hotmail.com.End.
