Hungarian Description:

Ki az közülünk, aki életében még soha nem várt csodára? Ki ne reménykedett volna abban, hogy valamilyen problémájára valahonnan hirtelen gyógyír érkezik? Frank Peretti történetében megdöbbentő események sora rázza fel az álmos kisvárost, Antiochot. A természetfeletti erők és megnyilvánulások, az angyali jelenések, hihetetlen gyógyulások, jelek és csodák valósággal sokkolják az embereket - ugyanakkor jelentős megosztást is támasztanak közöttük. Az események óriási hírértéke odavonzza a szenzációra éhes médiát is. Kiderül, hogy mindezek hátterében egy férfi áll. Szinte mindenki meg van győződve róla, hogy ő a Messiás, aki megadja mindenkinek azt, amire vágyik.

English Description:

The sleepy, eastern Washington wheat town of Antioch has become a gateway for the supernatural—from sightings of angels and a weeping crucifix to a self-proclaimed prophet 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 has eternal consequences.

About the Author:

With more than 12 million novels in print, Frank Peretti is nothing short of a publishing phenomenon and has been called “America’s hottest Christian novelist.”

Peretti is a natural storyteller who, as a youngster in Seattle, regularly gathered the neighborhood children for animated storytelling sessions. After graduating from high school, he began playing banjo with a local bluegrass group. He and his wife were married in 1972, and Peretti soon moved from touring with a pop band to launching a modest Christian music ministry. Peretti later spent time studying English, screen writing and film at UCLA and then assisted his father in pastoring a small Assembly of God church. In 1983, he gave up his pastoring position and began taking construction jobs to make ends meet. While working at a local ski factory, he began writing This Present Darkness, the book that would catapult him into the public eye. After numerous rejections from publishers and a slow start in sales, word-of-mouth enthusiasm finally lifted This Present Darkness onto a tidal wave of interest in spiritual warfare. The book appeared on Bookstore Journal’s bestseller list every month for more than eight years. Peretti’s two spiritual warfare novels, This Present Darkness (1998) and Piercing the Darkness (1989), captivated readers, together selling more than 3.5 million copies. The Oath was awarded the 1996 Gold Medallion Award for best fiction.
