Yes – in fact, it was the first Christian fiction I ever read at all.

The title?

This Present Darkness by Frank Peretti.

My aunt bought This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness and loaned them to my mother. Mum didn’t read them, but I devoured them.

I was then thrilled to discover Christian fiction was an entire genre … and my life has literally never been the same.

What about you? What was the first Christian novel you read as an adult?

And in case you’ve never read them, here are the details:

This Present Darkness

But when a skeptical reporter and a pastor begin to compare notes, they suddenly find themselves fighting a hideous plot to subjugate the townspeople―and eventually the entire human race.

A riveting thriller, This Present Darkness offers a fascinating glimpse into the unseen world of spiritual warfare.
