Summary: When is anything ever going to happen?
Review: The series was based on an intriguing topic, but the author took so disgustingly long to say anything the only thing left in the series was suspense, and the only suspense was: WHEN IS ANYTHING EVER GOING TO HAPPEN??

Summary: The Good and the Bad
Review: This book is definately not as deliciously suspenseful as the second book, but I found a few of the plot twists very good. The overall message is of course one of Christianity prevailing and that's always uplifting to read. I'm definately hooked on the series now, for better or for worse! I think the only thing that I can say I didn't like about this book is that the writers have a tendency to use the same phrases over and over. I think they get bored and either need to make the books shorter, or get more creative. All in all, much better than the third and a very entertaining book.

Summary: Real Life Drama
Review: "Soul Harvest" book four in the LEFT BEHIND series is as well written and riveting as its predecessors. The prophesied global wide earthquake has occurred and both Rayford Steele and Buck Williams are searching for their wives and their pastor Bruce. Devastation is everywhere they look yet God is filling their spiritual needs by way of new converts and by Tsion Ben-Judah's teaching. The Left Behind series is not only inspirational it is an easily read, page-turning narrative developed from the pages of "Revelations." The author's talent seems to expand and grow with each succeeding edition.

Summary: My thoughts on the Left Behind series
Review: I think that it is a wonderfully intertaining book series. Though most people take this stuff very seriously. I think the characters are wonderful and the story is very well written. The only thing is that at the end of a book it always leaves you on a cliffhanger. Oh well, I guess thats what makes the books so entertaining.

Summary: Soul Harvest
Review: I have read all of the Left Behind Series and have loved reading all of them. Soul Harvest was my favorte because of all the excitement in the book. I would have to say if you would want to understand everything that is going on you would have to read the book. In the middle of the book there a hord of demands that have mettal shells that can't brocken, they look like gaint moisquitoes that bight all of the none beveilers, the people that are bighten try to comight suicide, But the Bible sayies that the people must live and pay for the sins

Summary: The capstone of the series
Review: While I have never been one to spend much time reading novels or fiction, this current book in the "Left Behind" series is clearly the capstone of the drama. Within the pages we finds some clear transitions for main characters, as well as a number of surprises that make this a quick and captivating read. Each of these books build upon the previous, and as this prophetic rendition unfolds, each draft surpasses the previous with depth and creativity. While I recognize there is only so much material for LaHaye and Jenkis to draw from, I will both be excited and saddened to see this series conclude. Regardless of your theology or views in eschatology, this book along with the former volumes are well worth the time and investment.

Summary: A helpful tool
Review: This book begins where 'Nicolae' left off, with everyone recovering from the earthquake of the seal judgment. The Tribulation Force learns that there may be a mole in its presence and they welcome new members. You will also read of the first of the trumpet judgments. This book, as well as the series, creates an excitement with its pacing and interest in researching the text in the Bible. In my opinion, this serves the purpose of this series. The author does get caught up a bit in the story so that the disasters coming with the judgments are completed too quickly. Most of the trumpet judgments are over and done with in just a few pages. Although these things are bad, we never really get to see the impact it has on the believers or non-believers. Nonetheless, I would recommend reading this book as a starting point to reading the Book of Revelation.

Summary: All I can say is Wow.
Review: I just finished reading this very good chapter in the Left Behind series. Alot of the action sequences(I'm calling them action sequences because I don't want to spoil it by giving more description) were well written. I can't wait to read the next book, as well as the rest of the series.

Summary: THIS BOOK. . .
Review: . . .concerns me for a number of reasons. Reason One) The writing is really poor. For someone like myself, who grew up reading the Classics -- and who was always challenged to "reach" and to "strech myself" with regard to my reading, the quality of the writing (or lack thereof) was a significant "turn-off". Reason Two) The character development is virtually non-existent. While great writers (Charles Dickens comes to mind) frequently used "flat characters" as a literary device, the authors of this
series seem ONLY to use "flat characters". The "Left Behind" characters seem to be "all good" or "all evil" and make the "jump" from evil (or unsaved) to good with a minimum of struggle. I don't see this as realistic. As the series progresses, the only truly interesting character -- and the only character who seems to be developing a personality is Nicolae! (And I don't think that it is the intent of the authors to promote sympathy for the bad guy!) Reason Three) The theology presented is presented as "the" correct interpretation of Revelation, embraced by all "true believers". This is nonsense. The theology of Revelation propounded in this series is a 19th century invention, accepted by only a very small minority of Protestant Christians. It does not represent what most Christians (regardless of denominational affiliation) have believed about Last Things for the entire history of Christianity. Reason Four) I find the underlying anti-Catholicism derogatory and offensive. If the authors have theological disagreements with
Catholicism, I freely respect that. However, Catholicism is not accurately portrayed here -- rather, it is caricatured. Again, the identity of the "false prophet" is clear; the concept that the "false prophet" will be Pope is also clear -- and that Rome (and specifically the Vatican) will be the headquarters for the new "World Religion" is also clear. As a student of history and theology, I find this offensive in the extreme. I note that Amazon.com has, in the past, posted disclaimers with regard to certain openly anti-Semitic material available. I wish that similar disclaimers were posted with regard to antagonistically anti-Catholic materials as well.

Summary: Taking Sides....
Review: I have now officially taken sides on the issue of this immensely popular series. While I probably will finish the series, it is not worth all of the hype that it has received. There are plenty of other Christian fiction novels that are better written, more inspirational and have characters that are more true-to-life. In this 4th installment of the series, the story gets a little bit out of hand. The events of the book of Revelation become very turbulent - lots of people dying in catastrophic events - and so many people seem to ignore the presence of God. More troubling to me however was the way so many of the main group of characters suddenly became believers. With no prior faith and comparatively little information they all of a sudden are giving their life to God. while I feel this would be wonderful it did seem a little bit far-fetched to me. The main circle of characters we are used to reading about seems to be all we get to read about. I would have been interesting in knowing more about what the general population seems to think about the events in the book, but apparently the authors don't (or aren't creative enough to give life to the masses). The characters don't seem all of that concerned about others either. They are not evangelizing (with the exception of Ben-Judah) and are hiding their faith. This doesn't make me want to be proud of my faith and would not convince an unbeliever that Jesus is Lord. Why 3 stars?: The series is losing steam. Long passages could have been cut out of this book (and its predecessors for that matter). The characters are getting more and more fantasized and less like real people. A disappointment, though I have to admit I probably will grit my teeth and finish out the series.
