Rating:  Summary: What a testimony tool! Review: My wife has just gotten me to sit down and read the first four books. I could not put them down. I looked to see if any new ones had come out yet and read all the reviews. To some of you I say right on and remember that this is how it could be. To others I say, this is a story and though the authors may have taken some liberties it still places biblical teachings in the story. To others I say get saved and you might have a different view. The global point to all this is to boost Christian spirits to have a closer walk with God (PRAYER). It is also a tool that can be used to get non-believers thinking. If just one person excepts Jesus Christ as their savior due to this book in some way is it not worth it all? For by grace are we saved through faith!
Rating:  Summary: The series has turned into kids' books Review: The series started out very well, but with each new addition it has gotten weaker and weaker. The writing level has recessed to the point of a kid book. I was very dissapointed with Nicolae, yet decided to check Soul Harvest out just to see if I could get a little closure. I'm almost sad to say that Soul Harvest was the first book I never bothered to finish. Poorly written, it jumps from topic to topic, ignores some important issues, and spends way too much time on issues with no bearing. Am I disappointed? Yes, but only b/c I let myself get my hopes up prematurely. Oh well.
Rating:  Summary: LaHaye and Jenkins have written history in reverse. Review: My frustration and dismay parallel Rayford's as he discovers that his "rootbeer lady" wife is possibly leading a double life. I panic for Ray as he dives in dark murky waters to prove to himself that Amanda is alive; and as he finds his answer, I am caught wanting to shout at LaHaye and Jenkins to tell me, tell me...was there a smudge on her forhead? I actually find myself praying for the safety of these committed Christians, and am projected into a section of history that I never plan to experience for myself. LaHaye and Jenkins definitely made this era in history alive for me and for everyone to whom I loan this book as a witnessing tool. I can't wait to experience the next book in the series! It is to the glory of Our Coming Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Rating:  Summary: disappointing Review: Here are my top ten reasons why I would not recommend this book: 1. If the war broke out and there were serious earthquakes, would you report to a minimum wage job? ( the clerk at the car rental) 2. Most of the world population is dead or dying but people manage to hang out online. 3. Chicago experiences nature at its worse yet, these guys still manage to drive to Milwaukee. ( I can't even get around in Chicago when we have a snowstorm or a Bears game ) 4. The women are M.I.A. in most of the novel. 5. The women are either bad, dumb or obedient. 6. The female characters are undeveloped. 7. The first half of the story drags. 8. This book slams Catholics. 9. The anti-christ is scary if you think a corporate CEO is scary. 10. The ending was disappointing.
Rating:  Summary: Just as good as the rest!!! Review: While the book took too long to search for the missing ladies, it was still great! In the next books I hope they include more facts and details about the times to come. But by the time they finish the series it will be a wonder if all these acts haven't come to pass!! Hurry up guys! There are a lot of eager readers out there! Keep up the good work and never deviate from the truth. God bless!
Rating:  Summary: Couldn't put it down... Review: Now I have to wait until August for the next book in this series. The authors have me hooked, and I am anxiously awaiting news on Rayford Steele, Chloe and Buck. Many people I know are talking about this series, and have thoroughly enjoyed it. The authors know how to make the book of Revelations "real" - quite fascinating, quite frightening. Make sure you are on the right side when all of this really goes down!
Rating:  Summary: Slow. Review: Not as interesting as the others. I find myself wanting the series to hurry up and get over with, and not because I'm interested in spending time with the characters. It's just getting tedious, and I want to be put out of my misery.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent book!! Review: For those who think that Soul Harvest was not as interesting as the other three, I strongly disagree. The book is so well written. That whole Amanda thing is shocking yes, but it adds a nice twist to the story. Now that Nicolae is starting to show his true colors, all the Christians, including the main characters, are in grave danger. I think that Mr. LaHaye and Mr. Jenkins top each previous book with the new one. The books leave the reader eager to press on, yet afraid to turn the next page. I am 17 years old, and I am addicted to this series. There are now supposed to be 8 books, and I believe that each one will continue to get better and better.
Rating:  Summary: It was a VERY good book! Review: The book was very interesting and entertaining. I didn't have a large piece of time to sit down and read it so it made the book drag out a little bit. I still enjoyed it and once again what a great witness to a non-believer! :) Can't wait until the next book of the series comes out!
Rating:  Summary: LOVED the last 3...but was a little let down by this one Review: Absolutely loved the previous 3 books but agree with other reviewers that this one didn't quite measure up. The whole "Amanda" thing was a little unbelievable and unnecessary. One thing this series does do is remind us how precious time is and that we should be about the Father's work. Whether you are a pre, mid, or post-tribulation believer makes no difference. The fact remands that without Christ you are doomed no matter when or how it plays out. If these books do nothing else they get you thinking about that.
