Peretti’s Prophet

10/10/2019

I have 30+ years of being a dedicated fan and promoter of Frank Peretti’s work. It’s not because his books are so well written, although that’s a perk. It’s because they make an impact.

They have, and continue to, change lives. I’ve read the testimonies of others, who've experienced this in regards to Peretti's work. I even have one myself.


God’s timing is perfect. On every blog-site I’ve ever operated, I’ve written multiple reviews for many of Peretti’s novels, save one. This one. Prophet.
I tried to remember why I never produced a review for it in the last decade but I didn’t come up with a memory. I can only guess it may have been because I lacked the courage to review a book that touches on several controversial subjects. Also, in the reading, if the reader doesn’t follow along to complete the plot thread, they may be tempted to assume the writer is misguided and through the story’s characters, is taking a stand on touchy ideologies that may not be to their liking.
In re-reading the book this week, I through every apprehension for reviewing it in the trash bin, where they landed in good company. This book is as relevant today as it was when it first hit the bookstore racks 1990s. It’s one of the most fascinating stories I’ve ever read.

Although it’s fiction, any reader can take entire sections of it and find it easily matches up with incidents, scenarios and seasons of their own lives.

Prophet is about a spiritual gift that begins interrupting the life of a prestigious news reporter, living and working in a city that is being engulfed and invisibly led-by-the-nose to deeper, darker places, dark places many of its citizens would never want to go, if they saw the terrain, the real terrain, through spiritual eyes.
