Review
''Lillian Thayer is such a powerful narrator that she makes this a 'driveway audiobook,' one that makes listeners not want to leave the car. She's outstanding as seven-year-old Missy, a child the devil and his legions have targeted. Especially impressive is how expertly Thayer portrays the rest of the cast, including Missy's friend Moses as well as the town bullies. Think born-again Stephen King and substitute devils for ghosts and monsters. This is a gripping piece of writing and narration.'' --AudioFile

''The characters in Abiding Darkness are rich and well-developed . . . [A] beautiful story, filled with the struggles of trying to live up to a price that was paid, just as all Christians must do. Recommended.'' -- Christian Fiction Review
''Anderson is adept at leaving the reader hanging at the end of each chapter with intriguing portents of the next plot twist.'' --Publishers Weekly
