"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places." Ephesians 6:12Ashton is just a typical small town. But when a skeptical reporter and a prayerful, hardworking pastor begin to investigate mysterious events, they suddenly find themselves caught up in a hideous New Age plot to enslave the townspeople, and eventually the entire human race. The physical world meets the spiritual realm as the battle rages between forces of good and evil. This Present Darkness is a gripping story that brings keen insight into spiritual warfare and the necessity of prayer. Since its original publication more than 2.7 million copies have been sold. The companion volume, Piercing the Darkness, continues the story of the battle between spiritual forces.

"Made me see spiritual warfare and demons in a different way."

"This book is absolutely amazing. Very in line with Pentecostal Christian beliefs. I recommend that younger Christian’s wait to mature a bit in their walk with God before reading and Trigger warning for suicidal thoughts. "

"I tried reading this book to begin with and I struggled to get into it, then I listened to the audio and LOVED it! "

"I enjoyed this book quite a bit. I think it pretty well illustrates the very real struggle happening on a daily basis in the world. Heaven over the powers of hell. I think it's an important message. And, it was told in a very engaging, and in my opinion, believable story."

"I read this book when I was a very young Christian and it did open my eyes to the fact that the spirit world is real. While I do not agree with much of the way the spirit world is taught in this book and would not recommend it, it was a page turner and fun read. If you take it as complete fantasy in a universe that probably doesn't exist, like Cloverfield or the Hunger Games or Star Wars, then you will probably enjoy it. Just don't consider it's theology to be solidly Biblical."

"This is the best book I’ve read. Not only is it impossible to put down, but it also is the most eye-opening, revolutionizing picture of the spiritual battles that go on in the world! This will forever change your mindset, your walk with Christ, your entire faith. This Present Darkness is a must-read for every Christian out there, anyone who might even be on the fence about becoming a Christian, and anyone currently alive because we all have a desperate need for salvation from the dark forces of the world!"
