The beautifully designed special edition of this bestselling Christian thriller reminds us that a battle for our souls is still being fought—and God always wins in the end.

When pastor Hank Busche and local reporter Marshall Hogan uncover a sinister conspiracy to take over their small town, they realize their enemy is not flesh and blood—it is far more powerful. As deception spreads, an unseen spiritual war rages that could have global consequences. Can anything combat the forces of darkness, or is the town lost forever?

Four decades ago, Frank Peretti opened our eyes to the war being waged for our souls. Now in a jacketed hardcover collector’s edition, whether you want to relive it or it’s your first read, experience This Present Darkness:

• all-new introduction and concluding remarks from the author
• original manuscript pages to begin each chapter
• a map of the town of Ashton inside the dust jacket

The unforgettable story that visualizes angels still fighting on our behalf—and at the command of God Himself—this ground-breaking classic blends edge-of-your-seat suspense with biblical themes to remind us that the greatest battles of our lives are the ones we cannot see.
