It all begins 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 burnout, a kindof "leftover hippie," finds herself caught in the middle of these bizarre events, fleeing for her life while trying to recall her dark past.

This was a really great book! Kept my attention throughout.
Christian thriller - sequel to "This Present Darkness." "Piercing" is not as chilling as "Present."
This book was a great thriller. I couldn't put it down!
Peretti takes common folklore of angels and demons and creates a world where they are almost tangible. The activities of humans (prayer) help the angels in their fight against demons, and the negativity of humans helps the demons. I absolutely love how he brought the spiritual and physical realms together.
This book is slow at first, but picks up about three-fourths of the way through. The build-up is well-worth the wait for the conclusion.
This novel and "This Present Darkness" are my favorites by Peretti, and I really wish he would write more with this concept. The other few I've read are good, but not as riveting as these two.

Great book! Enjoyed reading it. It kept my interest through out the whole book!
