Book Description: September 1989
In Piercing the Darkness, Sally Beth Roe, a young loner, a burn-out, a kind of "leftover hippie", finds herself caught in the middle of bizarre events, fleeing for her life while trying to recall her dark past.
Here's a Great Christian Read, " Piercing the Darkness " Unlike Most Christian Books, It's Not Boring!
This sequel to Peretti's This Present Darkness is built upon fundamentalist Christian ideas. As it tells the story of Sally Roe, who goes from spiritualism to conversion, it also traces a battle to save a Christian school from demon-inspired litigation. The human activities are again overshadowed by the battle between angels and demons, whom the author takes quite literally, giving them names, personalities, and dialogue.
They influence all human activities, just as human prayer helps angels and hampers demons. Some readers may find this treatment religiously offensive or react negatively to the book's depiction of liberals. But this is a good story, and it offers insight into the kind of religion that sees demons behind every stump and angels in the hen house. Recommended for public libraries.
