Product Description

John Barrett, anchorman for the city's most-watched newscast, is a man suddenly lost in a town he thought he owned. His comfortable world is being jarred to the breaking point.

He's caught his producer fabricating a story and lying to cover her tracks-and she seems to be hiding something much bigger. His supposedly professional and objective colleagues have descended into a dogfight over the meaning of truth. His father's "accidental" death suddenly isn't looking so accidental. And John's estranged son, Carl, has returned to get the truth about the man behind the TV image. All of these events pale in comparison to the mysterious voices that John is hearing.

Master storyteller Frank Peretti has woven a powerful tale. Prophet has all the hallmarks of Peretti's fast-paced blockbuster fiction, and his clear understanding of the vast spiritual struggle over moral authority marks every page.

"Frank Peretti kicked open the doors that all of us Christian novelists are passing through today. We owe him a huge debt."
Jerry B. Jenkins
Author, The Left Behind Series

4.0 out of 5 stars Prophet, December 1, 1999
By dawn maynard (Macon Georgia USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Prophet: A Novel (Paperback)
Through the investigation of the death of his father, John Barrett discovers his true calling. He seeks the truth with greater vengeance as he uncovers the plot behind his fathers death and the politcal corruption that is brought to light as he begins to understand who his father is. This book is one of mystery and intrigue and I found myself enjoying this book more than This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness simply because the characters were narrowed down to a few instead of the many incorporated in the other two. And I must agree with other reviewers that this was brilliantly executed although I would have liked to see more of the relationship between the main character and his son Carl. Though John Barrett knows his future and begins in his own way to prepare his son, the question is raised will son Carl pick up where dad and granddad left off? Only God knows.

I heartily recommend this book. It kept my interest in a way most other novels I've read didn't. Aren't we all searching for the truth?

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT!!!!!, October 30, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Prophet: A Novel (Paperback)
This book, like all of Frank Peretti's other books, was hard to put down. It catches your interest and you just have to find out what is going to happen. I have to say he is my favorite author to date. I have read all of his books, loved them all and recommend to anyone who enjoyed this book to read his others, This Present Darkness, Piercing the Darkness, The Oath, and his newest - The Visitation. I can't wait for him to come out with a new one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Introducing the modern day Elijah and Elisha, June 14, 2000
By Jonathan Jones (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Prophet: A Novel (Paperback)
This book has heart-thumping action, detailed character and plot development, intense dialogue and deep and explosive spiritual impact. These ingredients aid in making this book deliciously engaging and a must read.

The book begins in the world of John Barrett, a successful news anchorman for channel 6 and his father, a successful businessman. Their two worlds collide when John's father makes the news by challenging a prominent political figure. John's disdain for his father's public proselytizing is brought to a sudden halt when his father is mysteriously killed. This event forces John to understand his father, go head to head with a powerful politician, reconcile with his son, question his own integrity and keep the newscrew of channel 6 from putting an erroneous spin on a story!

This book addresses the cultural and moral battles that are prevalent in our society today. The spiritual warfare in the book is extremely intriguing and the suspenseful plot will keep the reader hanging on every word. This book challenges us to be a modern day prophet in a world that seems to have a decreasing sense of morality.
