The two #1-selling novels that have captivated millions are now available together in one volume.

This Present Darkness takes place in the typical small town of Ashton where nothing much ever seems to happen. Until... a skeptical reporter and a prayerful pastor begin to compare notes. They suddenly find themselves fighting a hideous New Age plot to subjugate the townspeople, and eventually the entire human race.

The battle against evil continues in Piercing the Darkness, where a young loner fleeing for her life while trying to recall her dark past takes refuge in the tiny farming community of Bacon's Corner. There she finds herself caught up in the middle of bizarre events—from an attempted murder to a ruthless lawsuit against a struggling Christian school.

Across a vast panorama of heart-stopping action, these stories are a penetrating portrayal of our world, a reflection of its spiritual wanderings, and a vivid reminder of the redemptive power of the Cross.

Small Print

I love this series and decided to reread it some 30 years after my first time. I was surprised at how thick it was (duh its 2 books) which makes it a little hard to handle comfortably. And the print is Very small. I'm far sighted so its not a huge issue but could be for some.

Best fiction that I have ever read! I couldn't put the book down, and when I had to (to sleep), I couldn't wait to pick it up again. It brings the spiritual realm into reality.
Very highly recommended!

A very interesting yet uplifting book to read.This is the second time I am reading this book the first time over 10 years ago, yet it remains entertaining and still edifying.I wish we can have it made into a film.
