looking for a book about angels vs demons, god vs the devil.

[darrko1989]

something along those lines, maybe sort of like 'constantine' or something like that. I want like a book/s about god in a war with the devil and have angels fighting demons. Any help would be appreciated?

Good Omens by Terry Pratchet, not to be taken seriously, it's more along the lines of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
I don't know if you'd be interested in The Sandman Chronicles by Neil Gaiman? They're graphic novels.

You should check out the trilogy by Philip Pullman His Dark Materials. The Golden Compass is the first in the series but the third (The Amber Spyglass) should really interest you.

Try The Old Man and Mr Smith by Peter Ustinov. Its not a God vs Devil thing, more God and the devil.

Facinating read- it's about God and the devil coming to earth, meeting on neutral ground to catch up.

This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness by Frank Peretti... they can be a little slow at times, but oh man, do they become epic at the end. Both simply incredible novels.

Both House and Adam by Ted Dekker deal strongly with demons, but they're more paranormal horror/thriller than angels vs. demons. Still, really intense and powerful books. Adam scared me more than anything by Stephan King.

The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis are probably slower than what you're looking for, but very thought provoking, written from the perspective of a demon trying to educate his nephew on how to gain control of a human. Not so much of a war, though.

The books by Frank Peretti are tailored perfectly to your criteria, and I wish there were more books like them, they're actually the only ones that deal with direct angelic warfare, most others are humans against demons or something like that. Hope you enjoy them!

Paradise Lost by Milton?

[Jp1978]

The "Season of Mists" Sandman story arc and the "Murder Mysteries" short story bothj by Neil Gaiman.

Try Desperation by Stephen King. It technically isn't "God Vs. Satan" but rather " God vs. some supernatural and inherently evil entity of unknown origin". The book is surprisingly spiritual for a horror novel, and in my opinion one of King's best.

Seriously? The book of Revelations. It makes me have goosebumps every single time I read it.

I also once read a book titled Fallen or The Fallen. Not the popular series.

If you're looking for a thought provoking, demonized perspective between the Good vs. Evil polarity, then I highly recommend The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. This book illustrates an elaborate tasking of what a demon must accomplish in order to overtake a human's mind and soul, as taught by an demonic uncle to his nephew. The content is written with such elegance and comprehensive taste that it envokes even the most convinced readers to consider what actually occurs within us as the dark-against-light war rages on throughout a lifetime.

Do not be deceived, Wormwood. Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our Enemy's will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys.
C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

Have you tried A Majority of Angels by John Rommel? Very Biblicaly based, but good battles between angels and demons
