Nada interesante había ocurrido hasta ahora en el pequeño pueblo agrícola de Antioch, al este del estado de Washington. Antioch se volvió de repente un portal a lo sobrenatural, donde hay desde apariciones de ángeles e imágenes mesiánicas que se materializan en el cielo hasta un crucifijo que llora con poder para sanar. Sin embargo, estos milagros son solo el principio de algo mucho más grande: el regreso del Mesías como fue profetizado en la Biblia. Luego un profeta que se proclama como tal aparece misteriosamente en un rancho local con un mensaje, pero... ¿es de Dios? En busca de respuestas y de milagros, los medios de comunicación nacionales y los curiosos se agrupan en el olvidado pueblo. Pero lo que es grandioso para el comercio local tiene el efecto opuesto en Travis Jordan, el exministro extenuado que ha tratado de esconder su pasado en Antioch. Ahora todo el mundo se está encaminando a su traspatio para encontrar al Mesías y, en el proceso, se ponen en evidencia las conjeturas espirituales que tuvo alguna vez. El secreto inesperado detrás de esta visitación empuja finalmente a un hombre a una confrontación sobrenatural que cambiará para siempre la vida de todos los implicados. La visitación es una lucha épica entre las fuerzas del bien y del mal que lo mantendrá leyendo sus páginas, y que hará que su corazón palpite hasta altas horas de la noche.

The Harbingers team must overcome the ruthless scheming of an evil, hidden nemesis as they investigate bizarre visions and memories of a murder, a kidnapping by 17th-century pirates, and an earring with mysterious powers.

Unleashed from caves used for occult rituals, a microscopic evil invades the world--an infestation that deceives, blinds, kills, and then spreads and kills again. Is it natural, supernatural, or both? An embittered Professor McKinney must rejoin the Harbingers team in order to discover the truth and confront a monster bent on destroying humankind.

Four books in one! Five characters--with gifts they do not fully understand-- are mysteriously brought together to battle growing pockets of darkness throughout the world: Brenda-the street-hustling tattoo artist who sees images of the future. The Professor-the atheist ex-priest ruled by logic. Andi-the professor''s brilliant-but-geeky assistant who sees inexplicable patterns. Tank-the naive, big-hearted jock with a surprising connection to a healing power. Daniel-the institutionalized ten-year-old who can see into the supernatural world. LEVIATHAN: The team is flown to Hollywood as honored guests to watch the taping of the new TV pilot, Live or Die, the Ultimate Reality. Little do they realize the depths of darkness they are about to enter -- a darkness that, unless they stop it, will soon spread across the globe. THE MIND PIRATES: An earring with mysterious powers, bizarre visions and memories of a murder, and a kidnapping by 17th Century pirates hurl the Harbinger team into a 21st Century mystery involving international finance, high tech piracy, and the ruthless scheming of an evil, hidden nemesis. HYBRIDS: Why does the sight of two children chill Andi''s bones? Once again, the team meets at Andi''s grandparents'' home for some much-needed rest and relaxation. But the professor seems preoccupied with more than the academic speech he has to deliver, and when some mysterious black-eyed children visit the woman next door, Andi and her friends are caught up in a situation unlike any they have experienced thus far. THE VILLAGE: The team arrives in Newland, North Carolina, confused, uncertain, and emotionally wounded. Expecting the kind of warm greeting that is legendary in southern towns, they find instead a village whose people want nothing more than to force the "tourists" to move on, something our team refuses to do. Then, in a blink of an eye, a painful transition takes place. Everything changes-and not for the good. Newland has become New Land, a place similar to the one where they had just spent the night. Sadly, similar isn''t enough. With the help of someone they remember as a lost little girl, they undertake the most challenging mystery they''ve ever faced. They must succeed; the lives of scores of people as well as their own depend on the solving of a problem they barely understand. The clock is running out for them and it is running fast."

Dane en Mandy was vir byna 30 jaar ʼn gewilde kulkunstenaarspaar. Hulle beplan om af te tree, maar dan sterf Mandy in ’n motorongeluk. Terwyl hy sy vrou se dood probeer verwerk, stem Dane teësinnig in toe ’n vriend voorstel dat hy ’n nuwe kulkunstenaar se optrede bywoon. Hy is verstom oor die kulkuns wat hy sien, illusies wat selfs hy, ʼn gesoute kulkunstenaar, nie kan verduidelik nie. Maar bowenal word hy verstom deur die 19-jarige kunstenaar – wat in elke opsig identies is aan sy vrou, 40 jaar gelede. DIE ILLUSIE is Frank Peretti se verhaal oor liefde, verlies en genesing vol kinkels en misterie.

A grieving husband encounters a teen identical to his dead wife-- in face, name, and magical skills.

Now in ebook, the classic sequel to bestseller This Present Darkness, about another small town in the midst of an unseen supernatural battle for truth. This sequel to This Present Darkness follows the supernatural battle over the small town of Bacon’s Corner, where, once again, armies of angels and demons are at war. Sally Beth Roe is trying to escape her past and struggling to find the truth, while Tom Harris finds himself embroiled in a battle to save a Christian school threatened by outside forces.

Monster and The Visitation is authored by Frank Peretti and bundled into a 2-in-1 collection.

This story could have come straight from the headlines about many schools around the country and will lead kids and young adults to an understanding of peer pressure and the pain that comes from being different. In Baker, Washington, three popular student athletes lie in comas following loss of muscle coordination, severe paranoia, and hallucinations. It''s whispered that they''re victims of Abel Frye, the cursed ghost who has haunted the school since he died there in the 1930s. Now the curse is spreading, and the students are running scared. Veritas means truth and this series is uniquely positioned to help teenagers discover truth for themselves. As the author of This Present Darkness and as someone who struggled through his teenage years, no one is better suited than Frank Peretti to join with readers on this quest for truth.

If you''ve ever been there,you''ve never forgotten. The feeling is as haunting and familiar as the smellof a junior high school locker room. It''s the feeling of being undersized ... or oversized ... or klutzy ... or less than beautiful. Of being a nerd ... or a geek ... or just, somehow, different. It''s knowing you are vulnerable-and someone is ready and willing to take full advantage of your weakness by making your life miserable. It''s the fraternity you never wanted to join-the fellowship of the wounded spirit. And bestselling novelist Frank Peretti is a member, too. This book is the haunting true story of pain Frank Peretti never forgot but never, until recently, shared with the world. It''s the story of growing up with a medical condition that left him disfigured. A series of surgeries and the slow miracle of answered prayer took care of the deformity, but not the underdeveloped frame or the excruciating reality of being different. And it was for these petty "crimes" that Peretti was prosecuted every day at school-especially in gym class, but also in the halls, on the school grounds, even in his own neighborhood. No wonder he found himself relating to movie monsters who were hated but also feared-and who eventually exacted a bloody revenge on their tormentors! In Peretti''s case, deliverance eventually came-through time, through prayer, through a teacher''s caring intervention, and his own willingness to seek help. But he has never forgotten what life was like at the bottom of the junior high foodchain. And from the reservoir of those agonizing memories he sends a compelling message to victims, to bullies, and to authorities who have the power to intervene-that it''s never OK for the strong to abuse the weak. And that we allow such abuse at the expense of our souls ... and our very civilization. Especially in the wake of the massacre at Columbine High School-perpetuated by two troubled but also tormented outsiders--this message takes on haunting resonance. Frank Peretti believes we cannot afford to overlook the continuing reality of wounded spirits, not only in our schools, but in our homes, churches, and workplaces. His approach is both tender and tough as he issues a ringing call for a change in attitude. It''s a call for all of us to stop thinking of abuse as "normal," even among kids. It''s a call for the strong to stand up and protect the weak, not prey upon them. It''s a call for those in authority to pay attention to the violence being done to the vulnerable in the midst of our everyday lives and to take action to help. Most of all, it''s a call for bullies and victims alike (many of us are both) to seek the healing and forgiveness offered in Jesus Christ. For that healing is really the heart of this book-the only reality that can break the natural cycle of victimization and abuse. Only in Christ, Peretti reminds, is there hope for the wounded spirits-but that hope ispowerful enough to change everything.

Nothing interesting ever happened in the small town of Antioch, Washington, until a mysterious prophet appears claiming to be the risen Messiah.
