Publisher's summary

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? - identity, and a ruthless lawsuit against a struggling Christian school.

Sally Beth Roe, a young loner, a burnout, 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.

The intensity of this best-selling novel comes alive when read by author Frank Peretti. The abridged audio recording includes sound effects and music that brings to life all the excitement and intrigue of Frank Peretti's beloved novel Piercing the Darkness.

Very good listen

Definitely a condensed version, and the music can be a bit cheesy, but all in all, I very much enjoyed listening. I recommend reading the book as well, however, because in the condensing, some very interesting parts are left out.

So eye-opening! We need to pray more! This story is a reminder that the Lord really does work through our prayers!

This is abridged

Would you listen to Piercing the Darkness again? Why?

This is an awesome book; listen to the entire book, not this abridged version.

Which character – as performed by Frank E. Peretti – was your favorite?

Frank reads well; just listen to the entire book, not this synopsis.
