Ilustration Concering Books The Oath
An ancient sin. A long forgotten oath. A town with a deadly secret. Something sinister is at work in Hyde River, an isolated mining town in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. Something evil. Under the cover of darkness, a predator strikes without warning--taking life in the most chilling and savage fashion.The community of Hyde River watches in terror as residents suddenly vanish. Yet the more locals are pressed for information, the more they close ranks, sworn to secrecy by their forefathers' hidden sins.
Only when Hyde River's secrets are exposed is the true extent of the danger fully revealed. What the town discovers is something far more deadly than anything they'd imagined. Something that doesn't just stalk its victims, but has the power to turn hearts black with decay as it slowly fills their souls with darkness.

As an enthusiastic atheist, I probably wouldn't have read this if I'd known beforehand that it was a 'Christian Horror' novel, yet for the most part I enjoyed it. The diary entries etc, dating back to the formation of the little mining town at the heart of the novel, and the events leading up to the formation of the eponymous Oath, were well handled and intriguing. My worst fears were realized though in the last drawn out one hundred pages or so, when first Levi Cobb, then Steve Benson areFrank Peretti, The Oath (Word, 1995)I got this a few years back from my mother as a Christmas present. I pointed out to her that Peretti is widely known as a Christian author (one would think that the book's publisher, who also releases books by folks like Billy Graham, would have been a giveaway there), and her response was "it certainly doesn't sound like Christian fiction. It sounds like Stephen King." And Frank Peretti is, without doubt, the Christian version of Mr. King, both in subject
There is a little bit of everything in this book. A bit of romance, action, mystery, thrill, fear, and of course a good moral & lesson in the end. I was able to read this novel for hours and never grow tired. Frank Peretti has never disappointed me yet with his novels and is one of my favorite authors. His stories are comtemporary and extremely addicting. This is the first books I read by him. I was about 13 or 14 when I first read this book. I saw it on my parents bookshelf and wanted to
"I expect my story will be largely ignored by those who come after me, but who knows? It just might prove useful to the next hapless soul who suspects he's being followed, marked, and hunted. After all, we all live in Hyde River. We all have our dragon..."I admit I'm not sure what I think of this story. On one hand, it's definately an interesting analogy. Although it doesn't really play in until the late second half, the analogy came together well and it makes a good mental picture of sin and
Hrm...Let me just begin with the fact that I was not happy with this book. It began well. It had a very enveloping premise and I poured through half of it in half a school day (yes, it was so engrossing of a beginning that I read it during class). However, I was thoroughly disappointed with the climax. Do you mean to tell me that the heart of this supposed thriler/mystery is this demonic embodiment of sin in the form of a black draconic crocodilian? And do you mean to tell me that all you have
I've never read Frank Peretti's stuff before and had no idea he was a prolific Christian author, so when I got a mouth full of Jesus in the middle of a book about a dragon who eats a bunch of people, I wasn't happy. The book was shelved in the horror section! Heavy-handed bible beatings never came with bigger surprise before I picked up The Oath. I think I still have the concision years later, actually. It's not a bad read, I guess. The suspense will probably keep you turning pages, and the gory
This was one of Perettis best. The plot centers on the effect of evil on the human soul. Professor Steve Benson, comes to the town of Hyde River because his brother, Cliff, has been killed by some enormous animal that seems to defy description. It is assumed that he was mauled by a bear, but Steve, with a Ph.D in Biological Science and a professorship at Colorado State University teaching environmental science and biology, is not satisfied. He and the conservation officer of Fish and Game manage
