Summary: Women should be offended at how the authors treat them.
Review: The authors of this series betray their patriarchal, anti-woman bias in this book. The female characters are given no development whatsoever and are only passive, second-class cardboard cutouts.

For example: At one point, special attention is drawn to the fact that one of the female characters is barefoot. Then later on that character is revealed to be pregnant! Here is a subtle statement by the authors that they think that women should be barefoot and pregnant.

Of the book's three main female characters, two become pregnant and the third dies. This is further evidence of the authors' evangelical focus-on-the-family bias. Evidently women should bear children and live in supporting roles to their leading men, or else they should be killed off.

I am not a crusading feminist, but it concerns me that millions of young women are reading this series without critical thinking about what the authors are really saying. If this series wants to be more balanced, one of the two male protagonists better get killed off soon.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Book, The Ending Needs More Info
Review: I love the series and this book was very good. I just think to much was made about finding Amanda.I think more should have been added to the judgements that came in the last two chapters.At times I was wondering how much time passed between events. I just wish that I didn't have to wait so long for the next book to come out!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book is awesome!
Review: I really enjoyed this book. I have read Left Behind, Tribulation Force, Nicolae, and Soul Harvest, and I thought that it was the best out of all of them. It was very interesting, and kept me reading. I read it in one day! It definately deserves five stars, and I suggest that everyone should read all four of the left behind books!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Authors Obviously Drawing Out Story to Sell More Books
Review: Don't get me wrong, I am a Christian looking forward to the fulfillment of Revelation. But, I am also a avid reader and can recognize good writing. I really enjoyed the first three books. But the latest book repeats too much, gets bogged down in detail rather than moving the story along. I love the appeal of "novelization" of this difficult area of Biblical prophecy. It brings to life the difficult language of Revelation so that the average person can get a good picture of what MIGHT happen. The emphasis on the MIGHT happen. In the end we must realize, that no one knows how all these things will transpire.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book
Review: I loved the book, one of the best in the series. Easy to read and follow and impossible to put down (I read it in a day). If you haven't read the series, I suggest you start with "Left Behind" and continue through the series until you reach this book. A wonderful piece of fiction for all ages.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good read but dissappointing end.
Review: The series has been a good read but as for me and my house, give me the excitement of a fiction series like The Zion Chronicles which plays like a John Wayne war movie and tells the real story of Israel in 1948 . Reading about the actual prophetic fulfillment of Israel becoming a nation changed my life. Those books helped me live the opening volley in the return of Christ in our generation. The Left Behind series is a look at what if...what if I was left behind. But I read the historical fiction seires of the Zion Chronicles ten years ago and I'm not going to be left behind! Israel became a nation and I'm looking up! This series has a long way to go to catch the Zion Series in the excitement department!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent read, but major disappointment at the end.
Review: This was the most enjoyable book to read in the series, but at the end I felt betrayed that a main thread -- teasing the reader along through most of the book -- was left unresolved. I'm done reading this series until it is complete; then, I am sure I'll enjoy it immensely.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Of course no one knows for sure but it sure makes you think.
Review: Wow!!! I could not put any of the books down. THey are an easy read because I wanted to go on to find out what happened next. Of course no one knows how things are really going to take place, but that is what is so excellent about this series it makes you think. If it doesn't make you think about your own situation if Christ were to return at this moment then I would take a serious look at myself. This series, although fiction, just reinforces to me that when the Tribulation really does unfold it will truly be a miraculous and yet frightening time. I can't wait for the next one! I almost wish I didn't start yet because now I have to wait.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Dissapointed :((
Review: This great series of books have had me waiting for the next one. Wanting more. Just like Perretti's, Elwood's, and T. Davis Bunn's books. But Soul Harvest is a dissapointment. I expected it to be the last of the series. Now I find out that I might have to wait until the year 2001 (If I am still alive :) to read the end of the series. Not that this story isn't in the book of Revelation, but.... Well, let's sit back and wait and see if we can get to the end of it, or the end will come before the series end. Just one more comment and I am out of your hair: After reading review after review of this series, I come to ask myself a question or two: 1: If we all agreed on one single issue, wouldn't it be a better world? 2. It really makes me wonder why if it bothers some people so strongly the way the books are written, why bother reading them for?? Or is it that they touch a spot in your soul that you didn't want to acknowledge or didn't know was there? Are this books questioning your christian walk?? Perhaps the fact that you might be one of those "LEFT BEHIND?" God Bless all and let's hope we don't have to live this drama personally, and have to realize that we are as humans as the characters of these books. LIVE EACH MINUTE OF YOUR LIFE IN SERVICE TO YOUR LORD, AND JUST LIKE IF IT WERE YOUR LAST, FOR YOU NEVER KNOW IF IN THAT BLINK OF AN EYE THE LORD WILL COME AND YOU WILL BE ONE OF THOSE LEFT BEHIND.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't be deceived by this book's false doctrine!
Review: Books such as this one and it's predecessors in the "Left Behind" series are dangerous in that they promote an unbiblical understanding of what the endtimes are all about. No matter how you try to twist it, a careful reading of 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17 clearly shows that the rapture will take place when "the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout" (NKJV) at the time of the second coming, NOT centuries before. Premillenial Pretribulation eschatology is a set of falsehoods based on a jigsaw approach to Scripture and a mistaken interpretation of the book of Revelation and biblical prophesy. Revelation must be understood first of all in light of the first century context in which it was written. You must also realize that it, along with all biblical prophesy, is God's holy Word spoken to His people throughout the centuries, NOT just some collection of jigsaw pieces out of which we can piece together a map of future history. Revelation was NOT written solely for the entertainment of 20th century North American Christians who imagine they see it about to be fulfilled. For a better understanding of Revelation than what you will find promoted in "Soul Harvest" and other books of its kind, read the simple (but not simplistic) little book: "The Book of Revelation: A Cartoon Illustrated Commentary" by Vic Lockman. The fact that "Soul Harvest" and the other books of this series are so popular is a sad commentary on how so many North American Christians are deceived by the false doctrine of premillenial, pretribulation eschatology.
