5.0 out of 5 stars an excellent story, dealing with difficult issues. 26 May 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Set in the fast paced world of an american newsroom, Peretti shows how self interest combined with office politics combines to hurt a plethora of people. Sin, is at the centre of the book, and shows how, when apart from God, deeds hurt others in many ways. Peretti deals unflinchingly with abortion, showing the hidden agonies of regret and, as a result, subsequent self righteousness of one of his characters. In addition he shows how God gives prophecy to the world today and how living for Him can be painful but also righteous. As ever, an excellent novel which, whilst being highly enjoyable is also deeply thought provoking, and for many, provocative.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great stroy but appalling diatribe 2 Jan 2009
By Rosalyn Clare
Format:Paperback
Frank is an excellent story teller in the vein of a John Grisham novel, fast paced with twists and turns in the plot.

The story of the main character's return to faith and his discovery of his prophetic gift was also beautifully portrayed.

However, I was deeply shocked by the tone of his writing on the abortion theme. The characters who were pro choice were presented as caricatures; a radical feminist who hated men and a 'grim-faced' woman. They were shown as having no concern about a badly run clinic whose incompetencies had resulted in deaths and no desire to ensure abortions were safe. Given that one of the reasons people are pro-choice is to avoid unsafe home abortions, this just didn't ring true to me.

I suspect that this strongly polarised style of writing would find more home in the States where people appear to be more concerned about a politician's views on abortion than their ability to do their job.

4.0 out of 5 stars Prophet 1 Dec 1999
By dawn maynard - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Through the investigation of the death of his father, John Barrett discovers his true calling. He seeks the truth with greater vengeance as he uncovers the plot behind his fathers death and the politcal corruption that is brought to light as he begins to understand who his father is. This book is one of mystery and intrigue and I found myself enjoying this book more than This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness simply because the characters were narrowed down to a few instead of the many incorporated in the other two. And I must agree with other reviewers that this was brilliantly executed although I would have liked to see more of the relationship between the main character and his son Carl. Though John Barrett knows his future and begins in his own way to prepare his son, the question is raised will son Carl pick up where dad and granddad left off? Only God knows.

I heartily recommend this book. It kept my interest in a way most other novels I've read didn't. Aren't we all searching for the truth?

4.0 out of 5 stars Introducing the modern day Elijah and Elisha 15 Jun 2000
By Jonathan Jones - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book has heart-thumping action, detailed character and plot development, intense dialogue and deep and explosive spiritual impact. These ingredients aid in making this book deliciously engaging and a must read.

The book begins in the world of John Barrett, a successful news anchorman for channel 6 and his father, a successful businessman. Their two worlds collide when John's father makes the news by challenging a prominent political figure. John's disdain for his father's public proselytizing is brought to a sudden halt when his father is mysteriously killed. This event forces John to understand his father, go head to head with a powerful politician, reconcile with his son, question his own integrity and keep the newscrew of channel 6 from putting an erroneous spin on a story!

This book addresses the cultural and moral battles that are prevalent in our society today. The spiritual warfare in the book is extremely intriguing and the suspenseful plot will keep the reader hanging on every word. This book challenges us to be a modern day prophet in a world that seems to have a decreasing sense of morality.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT!!!!! 30 Oct 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book, like all of Frank Peretti's other books, was hard to put down. It catches your interest and you just have to find out what is going to happen. I have to say he is my favorite author to date. I have read all of his books, loved them all and recommend to anyone who enjoyed this book to read his others, This Present Darkness, Piercing the Darkness, The Oath, and his newest - The Visitation. I can't wait for him to come out with a new one.
