So to fully understand why I love this book, you would need to have been there the first time I read it. Visualize... It's new year's eve... It has been raining steadily for hours, and as the finial minutes of the year come close, a monster thunderstorm rolls in. The lights in our house flicker... And die. The lightening keeps on flickering though... eerily... Our family is all together in the shadowy living room, and we are reading this book aloud, by flashlight...
It's the story of a single battle in The War; the mighty clash between host of Heaven and the hords of Hell: the war for the world. 
Peretti writes a mean thriller, and in that setting, I was totally caught up in the story he wove: the way he imagined it would be if we could see the angels and demons at war around us. Definably recommend this book! 

Ok I know that was a dramatic review but I'm not sorry
