The Visitation Peretti, Frank

A small town in eastern Washington becomes ground zero for miracles — and madness. When a mysterious stranger arrives claiming divine power, performing healings and drawing massive crowds, burned-out pastor Travis Jordan watches his community transform into a circus of faith and exploitation. But Jordan knows something the believers don't: he's seen this kind of thing before, and it never ends well. Peretti weaves a taut supernatural thriller that asks hard questions about religious manipulation, personal trauma, and what happens when people are so desperate for a miracle they'll believe anything. The tension builds as Jordan digs into the stranger's past, uncovering a connection that hits closer to home than he ever imagined. For readers who like their Christian fiction with teeth — think spiritual warfare meets small-town noir.
