Story
A successful LA artist, Roman Velasco appears to have everything he could possibly want - money, women, fame. Only Grace Moore, his reluctant, newly hired personal assistant, knows how little he truly has. The demons of Roman's past seem to echo through the halls of his empty mansion and out across his breathtaking Topanga Canyon view. But Grace doesn't know how her boss secretly wrestles with those demons: by tagging buildings as the Bird, a notorious but unidentified graffiti artist - an alter ego that could destroy his career and land him in prison.

Story
For many years an atheist, C. S. Lewis vividly describes the spiritual quest that convinced him of the truth and reality of Christianity, in his famous autobiography. "In the Trinity Term of 1929 I gave in, and admitted that God was God...perhaps the most dejected and reluctant convert in all England." Thus Lewis describes memorably the crisis of his conversion. Surprised by Joy reveals both that crisis and its momentous conclusion that would determine the shape of Lewis' entire life.

In Part II, his wife and children follow the same path, helped and protected by Great-heart, until for them, too, "the trumpets sound on the other side."

It's Peretti's ultimate monster story. And this time, the monster is real. Miles away from the hectic city, Reed and Rebecca hike into the beautiful Northwestern woods. They're surrounded by gorgeous mountains, waterfalls, and hundreds of acres of unspoiled wilderness. But something - or someone - begins closing in on them. Something no human has ever seen. And it's killing everyone in its path without remorse.

Music ruins the listening experience but fine book
The loud and cheesy music and sound effects make this book very hard to listen to sadly as it irritatingly mixes with the words. So I could not even physically finish the book because of the music. Decent book so far but please audible, release a version without the music so we can just 'read'.

Love the story but abridged too far
I read this book years ago, and it inspired me to pray. The sound effects etc are great, but I feel the story has been abridged too far. If I had never read the book maybe I wouldn’t notice a lot was missing, but because I have, I felt this skipped a lot of details that made it hard to follow. Glad I listened, but not keeping it, it’s just too shortened.

Frank E. Peretti is one talented individual
If you could sum up This Present Darkness in three words, what would they be?
Entertaining, captivating, thrilling
Who was your favorite character and why?
Sad to say but my favorite character was Rafar Prince of Babylon. Frank does his voice so well. When he speaks you listen.
What does Frank E. Peretti bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Each characters voice is well executed. I would run at night while listening to this book, and there were times I was frightened.
If you could take any character from This Present Darkness out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Marshall Hogan. Because that man leads an interesting life.
Any additional comments?
This audiobook might seem old school, but it's well worth the money. It was well done and is still holding its weight today.

great
This is a great book well worth a listen. The only problem I have is with the narrator. I think he only narrates the abridged version of a couple of his books. IMHO Peretti is as good a narrator as he is an author and I wish he would narrate all of his books unabridged. I would also like to see the Cooper Kids Adventures (narrated by Peretti) published someday!
