Publisher's summary

Ashton is a typical small town where everyone knows everyone else and the pace of life is predictable. No one would suspect that Ashton has drawn powerful demonic beings to it. Planning to gain control of the town - and eventually the world - these evil forces are looking for allies. When Pastor Young and the town's newspaper reporter begin to discover this dark plan, they turn to God for guidance, but others have already succumbed to temptation. As angelic forces rally against the demons, breathtaking visions of spiritual warfare fill each fast-paced chapter. 

Richard Ferrone's dramatic narration highlights these powerful illustrations of the strength of prayer and faith. There are more than two million copies of This Present Darkness in print.

Great book

Read this book years ago. Great story with a glimpse into the spirit realm. Angels and demons working to accomplish their plans and the battle that ensues.

Awesome!

I really enjoyed the overall story. I liked the way of showing the angels and demons fighting in the background as the people went about their lives. It was almost like 2 stories in one. The narrator wasn't bad but not the best I've heard. I'll definitely listen to the next one!
