This Present Darkness by Frank E. Peretti
3.0
"I understand that sometimes the truth of God’s Word can become a divider, an irritation, a stone of stumbling. But that’s only because it remains unchanged, uncompromising, and steadfast. "
I read this book around 8 years ago. I decided to pick this up as part of my rereading project because I remember loving book. Reading this was really heart warming, for I remember all that I loved about it. But it was also disheartening, for I can now see all the things wrong with this book.
This book has an interesting portrayal of angels and demons. I really like how we get to see from the angels and demons perspective. It's different from any other books I've read. I enjoy the different POVs as well as the weaving of the character plots together. I felt like we had a really deep plot.
The downside in this book was that it was obvious that the 'good guys' were going to win. I would have really liked to see one of the 'good guys' that was struggling give up. Yes, GIVE UP. It's more realistic and it would add some flavor to the story. The writing was all right. The characters were a little bland.
Overall the main point in this book was the same. I still enjoyed this book despite it's shortcomings.
