The Visitation Peretti, Frank

A small town in eastern Washington becomes ground zero for something impossible: healings, miracles, a stranger who claims to be Christ returned. Travis Jordan, a burned-out pastor who walked away from ministry, watches his community fracture under the weight of faith and doubt. But he's seen this playbook before. As pilgrims descend and the media circus grows, Travis begins digging into the visitor's past — and what he uncovers threatens more than just his town's fragile hope. Frank Peretti crafts a razor-sharp supernatural thriller that doubles as a meditation on disillusionment, false prophets, and what remains when belief collapses. It's his most grounded and human work — less spiritual warfare spectacle, more psychological unraveling. For readers who want their Christian fiction with teeth, or anyone drawn to stories where miracles might be the most dangerous thing of all.
