Rating: Summary: End of State Review: This book is faithful to the Left Behind series. It is well written and was a fast read. There were some really moving parts where the author touches a nerve inside me where I can relate to what is happpening in the book, to my own life experiences. Fans of the Left Behind series will be right at home with this book. I can't wait for the next one.
Rating: Summary: Good book Review: This book was very well writen. I enjoyed it as well as the Left Behind books. The story was intresting and the book as a whole was a good read. Some people would tell you this is based on tall tales, but it is not. This book is fiction and just how one person thinks the last days will be like. But the book is based on "Revelation" about things that will happen some day. It may not be just like this book, but it will happen. To belive in the rapture doesn't mean you are beliving in tales. You are beliving the true and those that don't belive will realize they were wrong someday. This book helps us to rember just that fact. I recomend this book to anyone.
Rating: Summary: Great Companion to the Left Behind Series Review: This was a great read. For fans of the Left Behind Series, End of State fills in some of the missing pieces, by showing other people's reactions to the same events that occurred in Left Behind. Since the Rapture had such an impact on the U.S. in Left Behind, it's great to read about the reaction by Washington insiders. It's also interesting to learn more about the power plays between the U.S. President and Carpathia. The characters are intersting; I look forward to reading more about them in future books.
Rating: Summary: VERY Enjoyable Political Thriller Review: This was a well-written book. I liked the opening, how the vanishings were portrayed, the Political Scrambl;ing by the White House Cabintet and Staff following them, and the thrills and chills that are present becuase someone is trying to KO one of the main charachters, who happens to be in the President's Cabinet. Well^written, good theology, and a very different perspective. The reason I didn't give it five stars is because in this book, the four main characters seem to be developing a new (or at least different) Tribulation Force, almost a direct copy of the LEFT BEHIND Main Series. However, I do wish to read the other two books in this series...
Rating: Summary: End of State Review: This work of fiction is truly inspired. The salvation experience of both the Chief of Staff and the Minister, mirror what so many who believe they are believers, but are not, find out when they really have an encounter with Jesus Christ. After reading the entire LaHaye Left Behind series, I had more questions than answers. Should the Rapture take place tomorrow what will be going on in Washington? What will the military be doing? What will be going on at the schools? As in the "End of State," much time will be wasted trying to decide who did this. Who has enough power to make all these people disappear? How beautifully this author has described what will happen when the Lord calls us home whether through a "Rapture" scenario or just in one of the ways we are accustomed to seeing life end. It is comforting to know that we will be taken to Heaven to be with Jesus when our time comes. That is the promise of the Scripture. After all, Jesus promised he would one day take His children to live with Him forever. One at a time or all together; it really doesn't matter.
