Absolutely inspiring!!!

This book is truly inspiring! I am a Christian, who grew up in a Christian home. As I have grown up there are things that I have become numb to for one reason or another. Through this book and the two authors who wrote it, God spoke to me and showed me the things I have become numb to. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who has eyes to see and ears to hear. God is not dead and is surely alive! This book has allowed me to become more receptive to God and deal with those dark things of the past! This is a reader for all, believers and non believers. God bless

It's a fabulous book but warning...

House was a well executed storyline with characters that had well defined, yet abstract, back stories. The way in which the story unfolds keeps you wrapped up in each page. I must warn you though it does cause you to take stock of the contents and conditions of your own heart. it begs for inflection.

"yikes"

This may fall under the 'Christian fiction' umbrella, but def not horror, that seems a disrespect to S. King and others.
that said...this hole filled, pedestrian, excruciatingly boring yarn, written on an 8th grade level, was pure drivel. not to mention oddly and quietly racist.
Going to actual church would be much more edifying than this piece of scare'um to god approach. This kind of formula pulp made for a dreary listen.
That said in its defense, I had no idea I stumbled on a 'genre' book, with i suppose, Gods light being the deux ex machina of every tale.

Absolutely the Worst: Not Christian Literature

We liked several of Perretti's novels and recently purchased House for a long car trip. This was not Christ-like literature by any stretch of the imagination. The characters were very shallow and the constant back and forth between them was tedious and annoying. The plot was ridiculous, boring and gory. It was non sensical. We actually listened up almost the end and could take no more. Not sure what's going on with this author to think that somehow this story glorified God. It was nothing short of a poorly written, secular, horror novel.

really good

I read about this book before I read it, so I knew the surprise going in. With that said, I didn't find the story confusing. Though u had to pay attention. I loved the message and the cause of the haunted house was pefect!

I liked "House"

I am a fan of all Frank Peretti books and liked this just as much. Very good book ... much to think about as the book ends!

Brilliant

Dekker and Peretti do an excellent job of crafting a horrifying, engaging story with well made characters. King did such an excellent job narrating, I can't see anyone else doing it. Very well done.

The "House" that Peretti/Dekker Built

These are two of my absolute favorite authors, but this book just never got off the ground. The story was weak and it lacked a lot of the tension I've come to expect from both these authors. A better narrator might have helped, as this one was a bit monotone, but all in all the imagry and suspense I was expecting from these two heavy-hitters just wasn't there. I'll keep reading their individual books though. Those are incredible!

Good story

I would not say this is as good as other Perttti books I have listened to like Monster, Piercing the Darkness but good none the less
