This Present Darkness by Frank Peretti is a great book about spiritual warfare. The book is about people who are controlled by demons and demons attacked to people, sitting on their shoulders and whispering acts of sin into the persons ear trying to get them to do things. And other people walking around with angels protecting them guiding them away from the demon controlled people. Anyway, it's a good book for anyone who wants to read on spiritual warfare.

Loved "This Present Darkness" and the sequel "Piercing the Darkness". Wonderful expositions of spiritual warfare. I loved the imagery Peretti uses to express the reality of the spiritual realm.

I've only read This Present Darkness and the sequel, Piercing The Darkness which was a continuation of the first book. I thought the first book was better though. The climax was good and the demons and angels were fighting overhead the humans was great. I have to read more of his stuff. I just got so much to read already.

He wrote some kids' books that were really scary (for kids). Something about an archaeologist and his children. There were a few really good ones about demons, ancient giants etc but then it turned into undersea rescues and UFO chasing, and got a bit ridiculous.
...funny, this thread reminded me of an old Nintendo game-- do you guys remember the "Christian" nintendo games that came out? They weren't "official" nintendo games with the "quality seal" or whatever. Anyway there was one that was a clone of Legend of Zelda, called "Spiritual Warfare." It had a really lame (and semi-racist?) storyline and terrible sound effects, but it was fun running around and blowing up demons with a magical (er, holy) sword.

I've read several of Peretti's books and really liked them. And this really has nothing to do with the books, but I thought I'd tell you guys about a book club called Zooba.com. I was spending big bucks on 2 book clubs (about $25 a book!). But Zooba is kind of like Netflix. You keep a list of books on the site, and once a month they charge you $9.95 and send you the first book on your list. And you can order other books at any time and they are always $9.95 (no shipping charges ever!) If you are a lover of books like me, you should check it out!
