Item Description...
Product Description
The sleepy, eastern Washington wheat town of Antioch has suddenly become a gateway for the supernatural--from sightings of angels and messianic images to a weeping crucifix. Then a self-proclaimed prophet mysteriously appears with an astounding message. The national media and the curious all flock to the little town--a great boon for local business but not for Travis Jordan. The burned-out former pastor has been trying to hide his past in Antioch. Now the whole world is headed to his backyard to find the Messiah, and in the process, every spiritual assumption he has ever held will be challenged. The startling secret behind this visitation ultimately pushes one man into a supernatural confrontation that will forever alter the lives of everyone involved.
Outline Review
A burned-out minister in small town Antioch, Washington, must wrestle with his confusion and cynicism when a self-proclaimed messiah takes over his ministry. The replacement minister looks like Christ. He even heals the sick and performs miracles. Could this messenger of hope and renewal be the real thing?At first, this small town is abuzz with reports of miracles and religious sightings (a weeping statue of Christ, a disappearing hitchhiker warning of Christ's arrival, a soothing angel). But suddenly there's a twist of evil and demonic mystery in the air. It's up to the jaded minister Travis to track down the real story behind this visitor and somehow find a way to stop him. Frank Peretti has been a hit sensation in the Christian thriller market but admits that up until now his books have surfed in the shallow waters of pop fiction. In The Visitation, Peretti has worked his craft more carefully--exploring how suffering leads to disillusionment in God as well as deepening his characterization. (The main character is a thinly disguised reflection of Peretti's own bout with doubt.) Fans will be relieved to know that Peretti is still dedicated to suspenseful drama, and there's still plenty of spine-chilling mayhem when all hell literally breaks loose on this small-town cast of characters.

 | Love Peretti! Jun 7, 2008 |
| This is my favorite Peretti book. I absolutely could not put this book down. It's a little out there, but a very good read. | | |  | Have you seen Jesus lately? Apr 20, 2008 |
If you have ever been drawn to supernatural sightings, Jesus, Mary, UFOs, or Elvis then this is a must read. It is frightening that people can be caught up as they are in this novel. However this reflects true life more than we imagine. Learn to test the spirits.

| This book was a 500 page sleeping pill!!! the book was hardly exciting at all and it spent way to much time emphasizing flashbacks (which went on for several chapters at a time). The ending was pretty good, although not as climatic as Frank built it up to be. I read House before this and i wasn't all that big a fan of that book, but i would strongly suggest House over The Visitation. In all, the book spends way to much time dealing with the main characters past, which has little to nothing to do with the actual story, where as it should of exemplified the main plot instead. ANYWAYS!!! DONT BUY THIS BOOK!!!! it is a waste of time. | | | | Returned Oct 21, 2007 |

| I'm an avid reader, however, THE VISITATION is my first book by author Frank Peretti. I found the book to be intriguing and thought provoking. Travis Jordan's character was very well developed. Definitely worth the read. I'm already moving on to other Frank Peretti books.... | | | Write your own review about Visitation
