This may be a strange reason to join a Christian Chat room, but I am desparately trying to find the name or author of a book I read as an older teen (so at least 20 years ago!). I believe it was a Christian book, but what stuck out to me about this story line was that the storyteller described those he saw around him in his everyday life as having little demons or negative entities that he could literally see hanging on their bodies, bringing them down. "Things" like depression, sadness, jealousy, selfishness, greed, etc. I really don't even remember much more about the storyline itself, but when I mentioned this book to my own teenager, he expressed a real interest to try to find a copy. So if any of you, or your friends, neighbors, family, or parents (if you wouldn't mind inquiring) have ANY idea of what I'm talking about, please send any information to [email protected] Thanks!!

C.s. Lewis the Screwtape Letters may also be of interest:)

Some searches for that name actually took me to books by Frank Peretti and it really sounds like that's the one I'm looking for! Can't believe how quickly this inquiry paid off- Thank you SO much!

I'm actually rereading This Present Darkness by Peretti right now. First read it when i was a teen, too. Think this is 3rd or 4th time i'm reading it since then.
