Piercing the Darkness, which was published in 1989, is a sequel to Frank E. Peretti's novel This Present Darkness. It shows contemporary views on angels, demons, prayer and the spiritual realm. Piercing the Darkness won the ECPA Gold Medallion Book Award for best fiction in 1990.[1] The book, along with This Present Darkness, has been instrumental in promoting belief among Christians in territorial spirits. They have also increased an interest in spiritual warfare.[2] Combined, This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness have sold 3.5 million copies as of 2012[update].[3]

[Interest] in spiritual warfare has been heightened by two best-selling novels at Christian bookstores. This Present Darkness, by Frank Peretti, describes the religious fight against 'territorial spirits mobilized to dominate a small town.' A second novel by Peretti has a similar premise.
