Summary: These books are incredible!!! Keep up the good work!
Review: These books are so interesting! I have recently finished reading about the Soul Harvest and am currently reading Left Behind the first book. My mother and I have argued about who should read this book and are now sharing it. I am reading it currently and it is very interesting. These books are very encouraging and they help reders have a view of what is to come in the days to come and how it will change the world and thelives of many who like the characters in the books, were left behind. I can't wait to read the latest book.

Summary: I THINK THAT THESE BOOKS ARE EXCELLENT!
Review: I COULD NOT STOP READING. THEY CERTAINLY MADE ME THINK. ANY NON-CHRISTIAN READER WOULD BE HARD PRESSED NOT TO ACCEPT CHRIST AFTER READING THE SERIES. I CAN NOT WAIT UNTIL AUGUST. MY SISTER IS SMART, SHE IS WAITING UNTIL SHE HAS THEM ALL AND CAN FINISH WITH ALL BEING PUBLISHED SO SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO WAIT.

Summary: What this series says about what we should be doing now.
Review: Here's a thought about Christian fiction in general and this series in particular. A few years ago an article in Christianity Today reviewed the state of contemporary Christian fiction, and it made this perceptive observation. There are two major genres of Christian fiction: historical romances and end-times thrillers. In other words, Christians either have a sentimental, nostalgic look back to the past, where things may have been simpler or "more Christian," or they look forward to an apocalyptic future where God stomps out all his enemies. Unfortunately, this means that Christians are not doing much critical thinking about how to engage the world in the present.Clearly this series falls in the latter category. I hope and pray that all the fans of this series, which of course are legion, are not simply gleefully and passively awaiting God's judgment on unbelievers but rather are spurred on to Christian discipleship, obedience and evangelism in the present. Is passing around copies of these books the way to do that? I'm not sure, since it seems like LaHaye and Jenkins are primarily preaching to the choir. Christians need to think carefully about how best to present the good news of Jesus to the world in today's present setting, not some speculative future-tense scenario.

Summary: The job of every believer in Jesus Christ is to WITNESS!!
Review: What a great way for the authors to do their Christian duty. The authors are witnessing to thousands if not millions of people through their fictional series "Left Behind." I was sad to read so many negative comments about the "Left Behind" series. The authors are sharing their talents to spread the word about Jesus Christ and to help build His kingdom. Although the series is fictional, it is based on fact. It's reality people! All the prophecies in the series are from the Bible! The Rapture is going to happen! No one knows when the Rapture will occur not even Jesus or the angels in heaven! Only God knows! The authors just want everyone to be prepared. I truely belive Jesus will tell the authors, "Well done my good and faithful servants." All over the world, there are people who really DO NOT know the Lord and there are people who just simply reject Him. (Note: It is mentioned in the Bible that people will reject Jesus). For those who do not know Him and have read the series thus far to learn of Him, stay with it, and don't give up, because the Lord shall never leave you. And for those who choose to reject Him, the Lord knows you not. If you are rejected by the Lord on judgement day, you shall be condemned to the Lake of Fire which is worse then being in hell. (I hope everyone knows and understands that even the souls in hell must stand before the Lord on judgement day.) The flesh is weak and I know everyone will not be saved, it is to be expected. Just like the series, even today, we must choose. There are only two sides to choose from: Stand with the Lord or stand with man. (Hint-Hint: Man never wins)

Summary: Slower than the previous books, a little confusing
Review: This book is not quite up to par with the other books in the series. It reads slower and is more confusing because of the jumping around. Still conforms to Revelations.

Summary: CHANGES YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE TO SEE WHAT MAY BE!
Review: I WAS TOTALLY ASTOUNDED TO GET A PICTURE IN MY HEAD OF WHAT COULD BECOME REALITY. ONE CANNOT COMPREHEND THE TOTALITY OF THE FEAR, GUILT, AND DESPARATION OF LONLINESS YOU WILL ENCOUNTER! WHEN YOU START READING YOU WILL NOT PUT IT DOWN UNTIL FINISHED. I HATE TO WAIT FOR THE NEW EDITION!

Summary: Sorry to be a naysayer, but face it - it's slow.
Review: The pace has definitely slowed down, and the enthusiasm is fading. The series started off okay, but the tediousness of the searches went on and on for hundreds of pages, and it could have been shortened a lot. Not that I'm against a longer read, but for God's sake, use the pages wisely! If the authors want to have 400-page novels in a multi-volume series, they ought to spend much more of their material on character development, like Dostoyevski and Tolstoy do, not on mindless dialogue that feels like filler. They're slipping.

Summary: LOVE THIS SERIES!
Review: This series has been a major step for me in my new Christian walk, not because I am taking the word of the books as fact, rather because the content in the series has me referencing the Bible, the Word of God, in every chapter. Soul Harvest had me referencing, once again, Revelation, 1John, and 2John, and more. It has me searching for and studying the promises, the real Word of God. I received Left Behind as a Christmas gift (how appropriate) from dear Christian friends. I was rivited to it. In fact in future books, I bought both the audio cassettes and the books so I could get through them quickly as I was so excited to get on with the story. The cassettes also allow me to share the story with other new believers, and some of my non believer friends, in a shorter period of time. I've read some of the 1 Star reviews and I have to disagree with most of their comments. Remember, this book is fiction, but, if we reference the facts that this fictional account is based on (found in the Bible), and we research the Word of God along the way (...the Bible), we will see God's promises in black and white. Mr. LaHaye's and Mr. Jenkins' writings are drawing me closer to God's word. Bringing others into God's word, and ultimately into a relationship with Him, is what all Christians are to do and is something that I pray I can do for my friends and family each day. These books are an inspiration to me in that way and I will faithfully complete this series and, of course.....continue to pray for patience for the next book to be released. My Pastor's comment as we discussed the Left Behind series ... "It is only for God to know how the end times will play out! In the meantime, study the Bible/Revelation so we are prepared!" We are blessed by Mr. LaHaye and Mr. Jenkins' faith, knowledge of God's word, and their interpretation of end time events! Thank you and God Bless!

Summary: I've got the film cast in my head already
Review: I've read a few negative reviews of the book and the series for that matter, and it's dissapointing. I'm not saying that because I loved it everyone should ... well actually I am saying that.I mean come on people ! There are very few places to read an adventure like this and still "raise the Matchless name of Jesus Christ " at the same time . Although , I thought the writing in the first book in the series paled when compairing it to "Soul Harvest" I've loved every minute of the reading. I understand that the film is being optioned , I've got the movie cast in my head already . Don't you think Harrison Ford would be a perfect Rayford

Summary: Suspenseful
Review: I had no problem in finding time to read this book. It kept me hanging. Very good and easy to read. Can't wait for Apollyon. Plan to be with the Lord during this. Thank you for bringing this message to the world.
