Ilustration Concering Books Prophet
John Barrett, anchorman for the city's most-watched newscast, is a man suddenly lost in a town he thought he owned. His comfortable world is being jarred to the breaking point. He's caught his producer fabricating a story and lying to cover her tracks—and she seems to be hiding something much bigger. His supposedly professional and objective colleagues have descended into a dogfight over the meaning of truth. His father's "accidental" death suddenly isn't looking so accidental. And John's estranged son, Carl, has returned to get the truth about the man behind the TV image. All of these events pale in comparison to the mysterious voices that John is hearing.Particularize Books In Favor Of Prophet

Really enjoyed this book. It is interesting to see that much of what was going on even 10 years ago when this book was written is still hot trigger topics today. I think it also sheds light on the relevancy of the bible and how we really need to listen to the warnings and pay attention to the lies we believe and the truths we cover up. It is easy to get swept away into a world that is lost without realizing it. Glad to have read this at this time.I read this book many years ago, but I remember zipping through it - I loved the suspense and intrigue. But what I remember best is that it is a very realistic book, in the sense that in this world when someone does the right thing, sometimes the only immediate reward they get is knowing that they did the right thing. And for the Christian, this is (or should be) enough. Our actions do have consequences and bear fruit, but much of the fruit we won't know about in this life, which is why we
This is the first book Ive read by Peretti, and I enjoyed it! The issues tackled in this book still ring true today, some twenty years after publication: abortion, the reliability of news, and the struggle to follow faith despite how it might hurt careers. I felt a connection to the varied characters, and none of them was idealized, nor did they make Christianity seem shallow or easy. The idea of a modern day prophet was both entertaining and provoking in our age where we are often quick to
Poorly developed storyI'm reviewing this book from a readability standpoint. From start to finish this book felt rush, yet dragged on at the same time. In quite a few places it seemed like something would happen just because the plot demanded it. I kept reading thinking that there would be a plot twist at the end. However the ending almost as much of a disappointment as the rest of the book. I've read quite a few Frank Peretti books and this is by far his worst.
A news reporter at the biggest local news station sees his father making a fool of himself on a live report from a rally for Hiram Slater, the governor. Not wanting his reputation as a celebrity to be damaged, John Jr. must confront John Sr. on his religious fanaticism. The story from that point expands into a realistic mystery investigation into a criminal cover up due to politically charged idealism. Religious overtones carry the story forward with strong continuationist themes that drive our
Everything by this author is utterly 'splendid' :P
