Frank Peretti wrote a wonderful novel in which he explores the subject of Christ returning and people's perceptions of religion. Peretti did a great job developing all the characters and reflecting all types of "christian" personalities.Peretti can run hot and cold but here he's in top form as we follow the twin stories that make up this book. Good drama with just enough humor.There are some efforts by Peretti that haven't...well, haven't been my cup of tea. I like his attitude and his point of view, but sometimes his storytelling (in my opinion of course) leaves a little to be desired. In this case however I found myself getting involved with the injured minister and the people around him. To say too much about "what I like"
BY FAR my favorite book by Peretti!!! Every time I read this book, I get something new out of it! It is fast paced, creative, thrilling, scary, and beautiful all at the same time. - Minimal Spoilers Ahead - This is not as much a book about a young man claiming to be Jesus, as it is about a middle aged man who has been run through the ringer of ministry, and lost everything. If you only get a false prophet, "end times" theme from this book, then I think you may be missing the point.I relate so
i had always been too bored to read the introduction but this time i read the introduction and it made me laugh a lot. i loved this book as a child. i truly loved [read: hated that the villain was an religious abuse survivor who didn't have a good enough attitude about christ after his preacher dad literally nailed him to a fence. my favorite part is probably when there are worms in the bread that he was throwing. thanks.
I couldnt even finish this book. The writing is awful and the story isnt nearly enough to pull me into it. The characters arent believable. Do not recommend at all.
I actually enjoyed the first part of this book. I found the story relevant and appropriate to Christianity today. However, the ending was such a disappointment! To me it seemed as if the author said, "enough written, time to end this," and then found the quickest most "blockbuster movie" ending he could come up with and tacked it on.
When I first picked up The Visitation, I had one question that I desperately wanted to know the answer to. How would Frank Peretti depict the man known as the Antichrist? Would he use biblical allusions or create a fictional character? These questions were clearly answered in the book. The book takes place in the small sleepy town of Antioch, Washington. The last thing this town would ever expect is the supernatural. There are sightings of angles and messianic images, and a crucifix cries
