Great story tellers aren't the "run of the mill" type people. They are difficult to find sometimes; so when we stumble upon one, we treasure him. Frank Peretti is one such person. The reader is unconscious that he is, in fact, reading. He rather feels like the book is about him and he lives the story as it happens.
The story of "This Present Darkness" is very unique, but yet very human. One can emotionally connect with the characters and identify with their feelings.
In all, a wonderully thrilling experience awaits the reader in the world of Frank Peretti.
