Product Description

A Small-Town Lawyer. Big-City Corruption. Can One Person Truly Make a Difference? T. J. Case, a North Carolina lawyer and politician, takes a stand of integrity that costs him his election. As he considers his future, a morning of quiet reflection is transformed into a remarkable summons that propels him into the middle of Washington politics. And accompanying this commission is an extraordinary sense of divine direction to help reshape twisted lives and challenge corrupt systems.

The cause that T. J. Case represents meets with resistance at the highest levels. In a dramatic clash against a shadowy network of organized evil, The Presence emerges as the prevailing power. But obedience demands sacrifice….

TENTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION

When The Presence was published in 1990, it quickly found a special place in readers' hearts and minds. Hailed as "a fascinating and compelling first novel from a superb new writer," its message of integrity against all odds holds a particular resonance today. And its author, T. Davis Bunn, is now a highly acclaimed voice in Christian fiction.

Absolutely WONDERFUL        Rating:

I loved reading this book and passed to along to several of my friends. It is a must read.

The Presence        Rating:

I have read most of T. Davis Bunn's books, as well as many, many other Christian books. This is my hands-down favorite! It speaks to today, it speaks to my heart and it jives with my spirit. I read it right after it was published and have read it probably 5-6 times since...it never fails to lift me, humble me, and make me cry! If you like Christian fiction, this is a MUST-READ (over and over again).

Good books all around - great ones, only a few.        Rating:

And this is a GREAT book! My copy is probably more marked up, underlined, and dog-eared than my Bible I've had since second grade! I've recommended this novel to all my friends and family who will listen; several finally gave in and enjoyed it. NOTE: It will be easier to read for those of faith, who believe God can and does talk to us in modern times. But the story is a good one for everyone - a story of morals, standing for what you believe in, and not giving up . . . despite all the World may throw at us. T.J. Case sacrificed his political career when he crossed the party line and backed a Republican friend for his U.S. Congress race. When he felt he had lost everything, God gave him a vision to go to Washington. He went thinking he was to work with the administration in the Education arena. What actually happened was the explosion of support for a daily Bible Study in the White House - which ultimately leads to a major change for many, many of the nation's leaders.These few words cannot begin to explain the amazing story found in this book. Every time I read this book, I have to pause now and then to get the tears outta my eyes (I hate crying, but this is worth it). Racial barriers are broken down, and love for your fellow man begins to grow. Caring for the poor and homeless is another heart-warming side story. I'm no longer interested in politics, although I am a Gov't Attorney. And books like this give me some hope that I can make a difference, and that there are people out there who care about issues as much as I do. Hope you enjoy it!!
