Synopsis

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”
Ephesians 6:12 Ashton is just a typical small town. But when a skeptical reporter and a prayerful, hardworking pastor begin to investigate mysterious events, they suddenly find themselves caught up in a hideous New Age plot to enslave the townspeople, and eventually the entire human race. The physical world meets the spiritual realm as the battle rages between forces of good and evil.  This Present Darkness is a gripping story that brings keen insight into spiritual warfare and the necessity of prayer. Since its original publication more than 2.7 million copies have been sold. The companion volume, Piercing the Darkness, continues the story of the battle between spiritual forces.

The book that started it all...

Imagine how happy I was when I came across b......more

Goodreads review by Oceana on March 03, 2024

Where do I begin? This book is a new all time favourite. It's not an easy book to read. It's intense. It's thought-provoking. It's eye-opening. Depending on your beliefs and your experience, I could see this book being very triggering for some people. Witchcraft and possession are described in a lot......more

Goodreads review by Sharae on April 26, 2012

Hands down, the most eye opening book I've ever read that actually changed my views and outlook at everyday happenstance in the world. I couldn't wait for the sequel but darn it. It just did not stack up to the first. Sure it's fiction but man..this particular fiction has become my fact by deliberat......more
