DESCRIPTION:
The sleepy, eastern Washington wheat town of Antioch has become a gateway for the supernatural—from sightings of angels and a weeping crucifix to a self-proclaimed prophet with an astounding message.The national media and the curious all flock to the little town—a great boon for local business but not for Travis Jordan. Now the whole world is headed to his backyard to find the Messiah, and in the process, every spiritual assumption he has ever held will be challenged. The burned-out former pastor has been trying to hide his past in Antioch. The startling secret behind this visitation ultimately pushes one man into a supernatural confrontation that has eternal consequences.
The replacement minister looks like Christ. It's up to the jaded minister Travis to track down the real story behind this visitor and somehow find a way to stop him. In The Visitation, Peretti has worked his craft more carefully--exploring how suffering leads to disillusionment in God as well as deepening his characterization.

I thought "This Present Darkness" and Piercing The Darkness" were good . this was over-the-top!! Amazon Customer I understand now why several reviewers said this was their best Peretti book yet! I couldn't imagine how it could be after having just re-read "This Present Darkness" and being wowed again! I ditched digging into "Piercing The Darkness" again in favor of this which I'd never read before; Wow!!!A compelling read; from start to finish it kept me on the edge of my seat, eager to get to the bottom of things. There was no dull moment, and the satirical nar
