Left Behind: A Novel of the Earth's Last Days (Left Behind, 1)

Rating:
Summary: Gay subtext?
Review: Tim and Jerry can't write... or can they? These books are a hoot, and has anyone else noticed the hinted-at-but-never-consumated attraction between Buck and Rayford? After all, two guys trying to get right with Jesus can't come right out and hold hands! Perhaps the clumsy prose is only a clever disguise for some of the most delicious gay subtext this side of Dr. Pretorius. Christian fiction? Tim and Jerry may be grandmaster pranksters equal to Andy Kaufman himself!

Summary: This book is Grrreat!!!
Review: I found this book quite interesting and very helpful to my walk with Christ. I think that everyone should read this book. I believe that this will actually happen. Love God and believe in him and you will not be Left Behind.

Summary: Awesome account of what is most likely to happen SOON.
Review: This book will definitely get your attention, and is a page turner to say the least. A friend from church said that I wouldn't be able to put it down and boy was she ever right! I thought it was a very well written book about what is likely to happen soon. We should all be ready to be taken out of this world (raptured) at any moment. I think that if people can't serve the Lord now in the conditions as we know them today, then the chances of making it through the Tribulation are very slim! Folks, get ready because it could be any day now. Please read this book and think very carefully about what is in it. I can't wait to get the next book. I will be praying that no one gets LEFT BEHIND. God Bless You All!

Summary: Not to be taken literally
Review: I picked this up after hanging out at the bookstore for awhile. I had never heard of this book or the series. I read the first page and figured this would be a good fluff novel. I got home and began to read, I though I was reading Stephen King's short story "The Langoliers" I did not find it to be preachy but interesting, made me reflect on my beliefs some. It is poorly written and the characters lack substance. I don't believe the anti-christ will be so obvious as to rise to a world power in about a two month span and not be detected by more that 10 people. The story is predictable. My attention was really held in the beginning and the last chapter but I laughed to myself. Hypnosis? during a press conference? really folks, I mean we all are idiots sometime but I think the authors are taking our intelligence for granted. All in all great fluff novel to take my mind of problems of today's world.

Summary: Loved it - Willing to share my views through email
Review: The authors of this book did not set out to write a literary work of art, they set out to reach the world. This book definitely caused me to examine my life, relationship with God, and my witness to others. In particular, Bruce Barnes' account of his life before the Rapture, read very similarly to what mine would have. Please, if you would like to discuss feelings about this book, or others in the series, feel free to email me.

Summary: Well written account of what the last days on earth may be.
Review: The fictional "Left Behind" stories by Tim Lahaye and Jerry Jenkins and "Transfer: The end of the beginning" by Jerry Furland are both works of fiction and are both well written accounts of what the last days on earth may be like. Where "Left Behind" deals with a person's own personal beliefs and choices, "Transfer" is a more technologically accurate picture of how our choices may be made for us by a government intent on forcing a transition from paper money to a cash-less, trackable monetary system. Be sure to exercise your right to vote!

Rating:
Summary: One of the best books I've ever read!
Review: Wow, this book was awesome. It was by far one of the best books I've ever read. It really made me think about how precious every moment is. Don't buy it thinking you'll only read one...the ending of Left Behind forces you to buy Tribulation Force. It's definitely worth it though. Awesome book!

Rating:
Summary: How many sequels are there going to be?
Review: Shouldn't the fact that they are going to come out with so many sequels suggest to you that the authors are in this solely for the money? Also, I find the author comment quite characteristic. All he (JBJ) can talk about is the number of copies sold... Now there is a real writer! As for the book, if you like "National Enquirer", you will love this.

Summary: Finally a book with Class...
Review: Being a younger reader, I thought that this book, as well as the sequels, were exciting and very accurate. I think that the only reason people wouldn't like this book is because it doesn't have sex, drugs, homosexuality and sin written all over it. This book has CLASS... It just proves that a story doesn't need sin to be interesting and informative, this book is awesome and I would reccomend it for Christians as well as those who are still looking for Christ.
