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

Summary: Awesome book!!!
Review: This book is a must read. I had heard that it was good but was unprepared for how it totally drew me in. I was shocked, I cried, and as the characters each grew in their faith I felt their joy as if it were my own. If you are a Christian it will make you evaluate yourself and if you're not it might make you stop and think. I read this book in less than a day and I'm already anxious to start the next in the series. Don't let this book pass you by!!

Summary: No better book
Review: I have read all the Left Behind Books and found each book to have excellent characters that have believable conversions and life stories. Any person that believes that being converted to Christ takes a considerable amount of time needs to know and understand more about God. The plot is a great eye opener to the book of Revelations and make the future all the more clear. I have read many books and find the authorship of this series amoung the best. These two men are blessed and I suggest every person needing to find truth to read these books and follow the struggles of these characters in the time that is near. Go and get these books and you will get hooked to the life and death situations of the Tribulation Force and the World as all is destroyed.

Summary: leave this behind
Review: whether or not you are a Christian,all supporters of intelligent discourse will find this bookridiculous. The plot is stolen(From the bible) The characters are absolutely unbelievable and unrealistic. The story suffers from poor pacing. And the dialogue is just silly. If you are looking for a spiritual book, try Herman Hesse's "Siddhartha", a book that shows that true spiritual understanding comes from no organized religion but from inner experiences. As for this, while I think that the attempt to push a Christian book into the public eye noble, the aproach is less than exemplary. This book should be left behind.

Summary: For anyone looking to understand the second coming.
Review: I have been at odds with God since the death of my oldest son in 1991. I have been trying to find a purpose to my life since then. I have been angry at no one and everyone. But I have felt my son's presence twice since his death. Both times left me with a feeling that he was not gone but had transformed to the next level. In my quest to come to an understanding of what my faith is, a new-found friend loaned me this book. Not being much of a reader (I am a photographer by trade), I thought it would take me a long time to get through it. I finished it in less than two days. I had a tough time putting it down at night and the first thing I wanted to do in the morning was start again. I don't know where it will lead but I can't wait to get the remaining volumes to come to a better understanding of the book of Revelations.

Summary: Excellent writing, authors were inspired for this time.
Review: I could not put the book down, starting with the very first "Left Behind". It kept me on edge until the very end. I have met others and it is the topic of the year, if you haven't read it you will. It is a book that is easy to read, and you are able to identify with the people in the book. Every crisis you feel you are there with them. This book is for us in the 1990's, I am glad to have my copies. I plan to deliver copies to my family by the end of the year. This series of books "Left Behind" is a self examining book, and makes you focus on WHO you are, WHAT you are doing and WHERE you are going. Looking forward to the next novel in Spring 2000.

Summary: "charismatic but lacking in fundamentals"
Review: After reading the first 1/3, I thought it was charismatic but lacking in fundamentals. After finishing the book, this inclination was confirmed.

Rating:
Summary: An oxymoron: fresh subject matter for fiction; weak plot!
Review: LEFT BEHIND would be better "left behind." Although the subject matter is certainly thought-provoking, the presentation is shallow and predicable. And the dialogue "stinks." My high school creative writing students develop stronger characters. The pilot's "quick" salvation is ludicrous, as is his relationship with his college age daughter. Just NOT believable. I do NOT intend to read the others in the series, even if my friend (who loaned me LEFT BEHIND) insists!

Summary: Thought provoking,keeps you on the edge of your seat
Review: Once you start reading you can't put it down. Be prepared to purchase all of the LEFT BEHIND series books, you won't want to miss any of them. If hollywood doesn't make a mini sereies out of this I will really be surprised.Even though this book is written as fiction, anyone who knows the bible will shurly get a teary eye ( several times ) during your reading.

Summary: One of the greatest Christian fiction novel.
Review: This book is a must read for all people. It was breath taking from the first to the last page. I could not put it down and read it within two days.

Summary: Picked it up, and couldn't put it down.
Review: I've been telling my son I wished they would make a movie about the Rapture, so people could see the truth before it's too late. This set of books is the closest thing to it I've found. I believe the countdown is here, and the clock is ticking. People need to "get right, or get left." ;) Praise the Lord for His great love.
