![]() ![]() Two years after his first publication, Peretti wrote another book: Piercing the Darkness. This Present Darkness gets its title from the Ephesians 6:12, which reads: "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." Did you get it? This has led theologians to argue that Christians should not allow this fictional book to "redefine their entire worldview," as that is a job for a different fictional book. Since its release, many Christians have seen it as a " How-To" manual for exorcisms, prayers, and spiritual warfare. The story is about the fictional small town of Ashton, and how demons are trying to drive angels out of the town and incorporate New Age philosophies into the community college's curriculum. Hugely popular, the book has sold over two-and-a-half million copies, a telling reflection of fine taste in Christian audiences. This Present Darkness is a contemporary Christian novel by Frank Peretti, first published in 1986. ![]()
