About this listen

Ashton is a typical small town where everyone knows everyone else and the pace of life is predictable. No one would suspect that Ashton has drawn powerful demonic beings to it. Planning to gain control of the town - and eventually the world - these evil forces are looking for allies. When Pastor Young and the town's newspaper reporter begin to discover this dark plan, they turn to God for guidance, but others have already succumbed to temptation. As angelic forces rally against the demons, breathtaking visions of spiritual warfare fill each fast-paced chapter.

Richard Ferrone's dramatic narration highlights these powerful illustrations of the strength of prayer and faith. There are more than two million copies of This Present Darkness in print.

Enjoyed this story and I think this is how it happens in real life in the third dimension.

Great story

I really enjoyed this..so well narrated and with a great underlying message: that we are in a spiritual battle and "the prayers of the saints" are important. If you'd like to read one author's portrayal of Ephesians 6:10ff I recommend this audio book. I had to discipline myself not to read or hear it all the time!! Blessings!
