Truth and excitement

This book does an excellent job of portraying a spiritual battle paralleling a physical battle. It helped me open my eyes to the reality of angels and demons that I know exist but take for granted. It also leads to a desire to pray. At the same time it is a well written fictional story.

Jack Sondericker AMAZING! Could listen to him all day!

My husband and I are also listening to Sondericker's readings through the Left Behind Series too. Awesome! You forget that it's just somebody speaking. He makes the characters come alive with very believable voices and you find yourself completely lost in the story. Could listen to a book read by him for hours. Shame he didn't do the second book in this series too. It just won't be the same.

We serve a mighty God!

The story was awesome and built up at all the right moments. I will recommend it to all. I wonder how much fiction is in this story?

Awesome book

Loved this book. Brings to life what angels and demons CAN look like. I like Frank Peretti's books and this is the first time I listened to one on audible. I think the narrator dod a wonderful job.

Phenomenal

Where does This Present Darkness rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Near the top.

Any additional comments?

One of Peretti's best.Challenging look at a "dark side," with a clever and fast-moving plot.

Made my commute way too enjoyable

I remember hearing about these books when I was a teen. Now I'm praying my sons will listen to them.

Exciting and Relevant Today!!

Seems like this book predicted all of America's future. Only that the New Age movement really has advanced almost everywhere and in every town. Sadly
