Rating:  Summary: Great Review: I found this book to be informative, enlightening, and so appropos. The events are called for in Revelations, the people are fictional but the scenario is very possible. The reader must continue the journey of the characters through this period of tribulation to fully comprehend the extent and intent of the writers. Please continue reading the ensuing publications to fully understand the consequences of not accepting Jesus The Christ as your Saviour.
Rating:  Summary: Unbelievable...couldn't put it down Review: This is an unbelievable book. All the aspects you love about a truly captivating novel, combined with intriguing fiction based on real events that many Christians believe will come to pass. LaHaye and Jenkins - amazing job. And the subsequent books to follow get better each time. I've never been so into a book that I finished it in 2 nights.
Rating:  Summary: This is fiction, folks.. Review: And bad fiction, to boot. Why are readers grasping at badly-written novels as expressions of religious truth? LaHaye's interpretation of Revelation is just that - an interpretation. what's more, the whole scenario is deeply anti-Catholic - if you read what LaHaye has written in his other End times books, you'll see that he consistently and at length defines the Catholic Church as the Whore of Babylon mentioned in Revelation. Why does anyone want to send their money to this bigoted theological scam?
Rating:  Summary: One word decribes the Left Behind series: beautiful. Review: I really enjoyed the Left Behind series. The books made me excited about reading the bible and bringing God into my life. I feel more positive and I want to share with others how I feel. I know if you read these beautiful books you will feel the same as I do. Enjoy and God bless.
Rating:  Summary: The best book (other than the bible) I have ever read. Review: I just finished reading 'Left Behind' and am ordering the next book in the series. As a born again christian, I must say this has me talking to God more than I have in the last year. It has renewed my desire to seek the Lord every day and has me thankful that I am not going to be LEFT BEHIND. God Bless the authors of this series.
Rating:  Summary: awesome! Review: This book is simply a great read. I was actually a bit tentative to read it, but once I started I could not put this book down! The characters are believable and I found myself relating with each person's struggle to find their faith. For any person, Christian or not, this book sheds some amazing light upon the rapture of Christ and how each of us has a decision to make!
Rating:  Summary: An awsome book on the truth of our future Review: Having met Tim LaHaye in person and spoken with him, I would have never realated him to this Book. He is a very polite and old fashion. He suggested "Left Behind" to me. so I bought a few copys for myself and friends. I have to admit it took me two and a half months to pick up the book. In only six days I have read ten chapters, and that is good for a non-reader like myself. I don't have great expertise on writing, but I didn't much like the style. The bouncing back and forth between characters was a good touch, it keeps you reading, but the text or word choice I could do without. Over all I enjoy the book and look forward to finishing the series.
Rating:  Summary: Pedestrian and hackneyed. Review: I had great expectations when I ordered this book. I tend to like apocolyptic novels and tales with international intrigue and this fit the bill. I really love stories that interpret and contemporize prophecies, biblical or otherwise. With this in mind I thought that I would love this book. Suffice it to say that I did not.The writing is poorly paced. I went from speeding through a twenty page portion in a matter of minutes to agonizing over a five page passage. The writing is repetitive. What is it about Bruce that makes everyone he instructs on the Tribulation "take down notes as fast as he possibly could"? Isn't there another way to phrase this. Further, this sounds silly but the overall characterization was entirely unrealistic. I did not identify a single character (even on the fringe) who was embittered by the loss of family members. A typical reaction upon losing a family member to death, which the rapture was in a way, is anger and bitterness; the "why me/what kind of God would let this happen" reaction. This book had no such reactions. With the exception of Carpathia, the characters were either continuing their life as usual or born again. Finally, other readers have testified to the speed with which they finished reading the book. I had the same experience but only because I wanted to get to my next read (not a Left Behind sequel) and I hate leaving any book, no matter how unreadable, unfinished. This was a great idea but very poorly executed.
Rating:  Summary: I wish everyone could read this book Review: This book tells us what is in store for the future. I pray it will change the hearts of everyone who reads it and they will not be in the number of those left behind.
Rating:  Summary: I thought it was a very well put together piece. Review: This is a definate must read. To some it may be scary because they don't know for sure where they're going. But every body needs to know where they will spend eternity. I just pray that the people who read this book will look in the Bible for the scriptures, then they will see the truth and not just the imagination of the two authors of Left Behind.
