 | Fast-paced, interesting read Feb 25, 2007 |
| As I started into the book, the fast-paced writing style caught my attention, and kept me interested. The character development was good, and I found myself wanting to know more about who had killed the "Prophet", (his father), and how they would circumvent the ring of deception at Channel 6 News. I have read Peretti several times before, and enjoy his writing style, and this book kept me interested until the end! | | |  | A Somber But Insightful Novel Jan 1, 2007 |
Frank Peretti had opened the doors to Christian fiction with "This Present Darkness" and its follow-up, "Piercing The Darkness." Peretti here leaves his two part series, with a different emphasis.
One thing to keep in mind is that Peretti is writing from a Pentecostal/Charismatic theology. Not all Christians would believe God works as he does in the book. One critic (a Christian) pointed out that the "prophecies" of protagonist John Barrett are nothing compared to the Biblical examples.
This book deals with a newscaster, and thus looks at the world of the local newsstation and some of the conflicts. It also deals with corrupt politics, and the relationship between the media and politics. The central theme of this book, though, is abortion. It involves a pair of deaths that happened due to abortions. It has one character who would consider herself to be pro-choice, yet realize there is a problem with those who cover up unrestricted abortion on demand.
One thing I've noticed about Peretti, which becomes clearer in his first four novels, is some pessimism. This is not the most uplifting book. I will also say that the climax is a little weak; he did better in the other novels I read (the two mentioned above and "The Oath").

| This is an excellent book!! Its fast pace keeps you on the edge of your seat! I could scarcely put it down. Peretti's three-dimensional characters are well thought out. The overall message is a good one. Peretti is not afraid to take a stand on controversial issues, yet he makes it exciting! And the end of the book leaves you feeling really good. I would recommend this book to fans of Peretti or Christian novels. | | | | wonderful read Jun 11, 2006 |
This was such a good story. I haven't read any Peretti in a long time, but this reminded me again why I loved his writing so much. Will have to start buying him again... Complex story with lots of good characters. His last scene got me all choked up and made me realize what a gift God has given him to preach the gospel through story. Also gave me a deeper insight into the prophet Elijah when he faced despair after his mighty victory.
| | | | Thought Provoking! May 23, 2006 |
| The Prophet was a powerful and thought provoking book that tackles a controversial issue. I was hooked from page one! The book is about an anchorman who does a little digging after his father's death and discovers a truth about the corrupt abortion business that the government and media go to great lengths to keep hidden. One of the major themes of this book is that despite a person's flaws, God can still use him in amazing ways. | | | Write your own review about Prophet
