My two favorite authors are Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker. I loved the book, Vistation right along with the movie, I hope that whoever reads it will understand the message and realize that there is real evil out there and to be aware of it's tricks and won't be sucked into it. I would encourge everyone to read this book and watch the movie.

The Visitation is Frank Peretti's best work. This novel manages to address so many issues concerning faith that it almost accomplishes too much for one book to handle. Mr. Peretti tells the story in the first and third person extraordinarily well. The synopsis could never do the actual finished work justice. Deadline by Randy Alcorn is the only Christian fiction novel that surpasses this Peretti creation. Anyone who has struggled with their faith (I believe most have) will find this book stimulating. I have experienced many of the things the main character, Travis Jordan, has experienced. It was easy to understand and empathize with Travis and his struggle to fight for the truth without alienating the children of God he so needed to befriend and lead. Brandon Nichols is one of the most memorable characters of any book I have ever read. Is he Jesus, come back for his flock? That is for the reader to figure out. That is also for the characters in the novel to decide - and decide they do. The Visitation is a novel that makes one delve into the heart of faith, especially his or her own heart of faith. I, and most likely you, can relate to all of the characteristics and debates of the Christian faith: once saved, always saved, speaking in tongues, baptism, tolerance, etc.. If you haven't read The Visitation, you should. Even if you don't consider yourself a Christian, this is a novel anyone can enjoy. The characters are so real you'll find yourself comparing most of them to people you know - more so than with any other novel (especially with this large amount of characters). The Visitation has plenty of twists and suspenseful moments, excellent dialogue, and a plot that is second to none.

Bought this for my 12 year old and I couldn't put it down. Has some subject matter content that needs discussing as a family. i.e. polygamy, abuse, evil spirit forces. The story line flips back and forth so it is easier understood by advanced readers. Great story!

I absolutely loved this book, I could not put it down, read the entire thing in 2 days...AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE FICTION!!!! But I loved this!!! Highly recommend!

This is a very good book. It catches and holds your attention. It provides interesting insight into what is real and what is not in Christianity with great writing.
