Review: THIS PRESENT DARKNESS by Frank Peretti

About 15-20 years ago spiritual warfare was the Next Big Thing in the Christian subculture. Frank Peretti was in the vanguard of this trend, and as far as I know he never left.

Reading it all these years later, it's obviously not the work of a seasoned writer. Though all of the boxes are dutifully checked, it's done without grace, as if Peretti typed it with a sledgehammer. Simply put, it's not a very good book, and could have used some more rewriting 

At this point this is of more interest as a cultural artifact than as a book. I don't recommend it.
