Piercing the Darkness by Frank E. Peretti

Synopsis 

"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." 

(John 1:5, RSV)

It all began in Bacon's Corner, a tiny farming community far from the interstate...An attempted murder, a case of mistaken--or is it covered up--identity, and a ruthless lawsuit against a struggling Christian school. Sally Beth Roe, a young loner, a burn-out, a kind of 'leftover hippie," finds herself caught in the middle of these bizarre events, fleeing for her life while trying to recall her dark past. 

Across a vast panorama of heart-stopping action, Sally Roe's journey is a penetrating portrayal of our times, a reflection of our wanderings, and a vivid reminder of the redemptive power of the Cross. 

Review

This was the second book I read that was written by Frank E. Peretti, and it was just as amazing as the first book! Just like with This Present Darkness, Piercing the Darkness opened my eyes even more to what is/could be going on in the spiritual world. The suspense and mystery were also great!

I loved the angels! They all had their own distinct personalities, but they all shared the same goal. I really enjoyed watching Sally turn to her Creator and watching her grow in her faith! 

In John 1:5 it says, "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." This book is a great example of that promise. There are many horrible things that happen in this world, but in the end, evil doesn't win. Jesus wins. I would recommend this book for anyone who wants to read a book that focuses on the spiritual realms.
