"This Present Darkness". In Ashton, a doubting Thomas reporter and a troubled pastor conclude that their town is in the forefront of a holy war on earth. The side the tempted locals choose will have the edge. Fans of the forces of heaven vs. those of hell on battlefield earth with to the victors go the souls will appreciate this deep action-packed thriller.

"Piercing the Darkness". In Bacon's Corner, a factory worker with a dark history hides from her past until otherworldly events force her to look back to what haunts her. Demon driven law suits have risen as accusations and counter charges resound throughout the town with child abuse as its focus. However, the real war is at the local Christian school between angels and demons over the souls of the residents. This "Darkness" sequel is another powerful angel-demon war on battlefield earth.

"Prophet". Although his father constantly embarrassed the news anchor with his politically incorrect but piously principled beliefs; still he did not want his dad to die. To gain closure, the reporter needs the truth about the alleged accident, but that means breaking the first commandment of broadcasting that deception in support of a certain secular vision is required. Though radically different and not quite the action-packed thriller level of the two Darkness tales, this is a solid story centering on religious redemption at the cost of losing material possessions and reputation.

These three reprints placed in one package focus on a war for the soul of people. Though biased against a left wing perspectives, the novels lead readers to reconsider their relationships with God, family, and community. This three in one set makes a delightful holiday gift.
