Frank Peretti

[Fushigi na Butterfly]

This is a random topic because I'm bored, we need more topics, and I'm currently reading one of his books. Anyone heard of him/read him and what do you think of him and his books? Right now I'm reading This Present Darkness and I gotta say ... I'm not impressed. sweatdrop I read The Oath a while back, and I think that one was much better, but eh, This Present Darkness has me wanting to strangle Peretti's editor. confused

i've never read his books before, but i have seen the movie for his book Hangman's Curse (he's actually in the movie). it's pretty good, but not for anyone who is scared of spiders.

Haha, then it's not for me. xd  

[Mona05]

yeah. i don't even look towards the screen during the spider part because i'll get all freaked out. haha

i think the guy's a great author. I don't remember who I recommended his books to, but I did it rather enthusiastically. I've only read The Oath and Monster. Judging from those two books, I think they're more for luring in the unsaved than to entertain followers of Christ.

I did read The Oath, and I enjoyed that one. I read This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness and I think my not enjoying them has something to do with the fact that the books were written about twenty years ago. I'm reading Prophet now, and it's much better. I really like this one. But it also deals in two topics that I'm interested in to begin with: abortion and gay rights.

Where do you find his books? I don't think I've ever seen them in Borders or Barnes and Noble (although I've enver been in B&N lol)  

[Fushigi na Butterfly]

Borders definitely has them- they should be over in the religious studies/religious fiction section (near the Bibles). That's where I get mine from. 3nodding

Thank you thank you! smile  

[Fushigi na Butterfly]

Sure thing. ^-^

You know, I have been meaning to check his books out!
At first, i didnt want to because i thought he stereotyped. Like the movie 'Hangman's Curse'? Yeah, that movie was full of judging based on silly things like clothing -.-

But then i saw his movie 'House' which was AWESOME. And inspired me to start reading his books. Now that I have seen this thread, I will take it as a sign to check them out for sure, bahaha whee
