Glorious Appearing: An Experience in Sound and Drama (Left Behind - Main Products, 12)

Rating:
Summary: A Beautiful Ending to an Excellent Series
Review: Having read all the books and then listened in amazement to the entire Left Behind audio series has been extremely gratifying experience. The books themselves were terrific, but having the opportunity to have them read to you in such a dynamic, masterful way has made the story leap off the pages and place the reader in the middle of the action. These productions are vivid and awe inspiring and I would recommend them to anyone interested in being truely entertained.

Summary: Powerful drama series comes to an end
Review: Its been five years since I first got interested in the Left Behind dramatic audio cd's and last night I finished listening to the Glorious Appearing and frankly I am at a loss of words for the experience I just heard. Listening to this CD has been both a joyful and saddening experience. Its been joyful because of the joy that comes getting to hear Jesus return and reunite the church his people, and also that Satan was finally put in prison and the Anti Christ and his false prophet cast into the Lake of Fire. Its been saddening hearing the dramatic presentation of the judgement and hearing all the unbelievers screaming their way into eternal separation from Christ. I tell you, this audio experience will give you a sinking feeling and drive you to have more compassion on the many lost unbelievers in your world that will be screaming their way into the lake of fire and eternally being separated from the Lord God.

What I did not like about this CD is the lack of some serious action and a good plot. Its obvious that this story lagged on far more than the original plan of 6 books. This CD had way too much laughing and the characters in this CD were way too comical to be realistic. For example the actors of the anti Christ's army portrayed themselves often as ignorant, weak, impotent, comical cowards. I very much doubt the validity of their portrayal of the servants of the evil antichrist I would have given this CD 5 stars but because of its lack of some serious action and a good story line I could not. This is most definitely not the best of the series, but its still a good quality CD, and powerful enough to rank in my top 6 of the series. None of the Left Behind CD's are of a poor or mediocre quality nature, but nevertheless below is my raking of the Left Behind series.

1) Left Behind #1
2) Desecration #9 / Appollyn #5
3) Tribulation Force #2
4) Armageddon #11
5) Nicolae #3 / Assassins #6
6) Glorious Appearing #12 / The Remnant #10
---------------------
7) The Indwelling #7
8) The Mark #8
9) Soul Harvest #4

At the foreclosure of Glorious Appearing the narrator says.

AND AFTER THESE THINGS, SATAN WILL BE RELEASED for A LITTLE WHILE.....

Could this mean that another book will be after the Glorious Appearing?
