Publisher Description

"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."—John 1:5 (ESV)

It all begins in Bacon's corner, a tiny farming community far from the interstate. An attempted murder, a suspicious case of mistaken identity, and a ruthless lawsuit against a struggling Christian school threaten the peace of the small town. Sally Beth Roe, a young loner, finds herself in the middle of events beyond her control, fleeing for her life while trying to recall her dark past. She doesn't realize that a demonic army is growing in power and that a spiritual battle is rapidly approaching.

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. The intensity of this bestselling novel comes alive when read by author Frank Peretti. The abridged audio recording includes sound effects and music that brings to life all the excitement and intrigue of Frank Peretti's beloved novel.

"Piercing the Darkness came after This present Darkness and is along the same lines as the first one. A good book of good vs evil where the good will win eventually. An eye opener to the dark side of the world and fair warning not to get caught up in irrelevant things. Good read. "

— Sonia (5 out of 5 stars)

    " This book was good, very similar to the first book, driving home the same points so I enjoyed it just as much. I did find the letters that the main character 'Sally' was writing sort of out of place and didn't like that the author waited so long to tie it all together (not til the very end). It was the only odd part of this book for me. Overall still very compelling and hard to put down. "
