Rating:  Summary: A riveting, spirit-filled book which every child of God mus Review: From the moment I read the first page, my imagination was entranced and in two weeks' time, I have experienced the end time experiences of the "left-behind" children of God. Soon to finsih the fifth in the series entitled "Apollyon," I'm anticipating the release of the sixth book entitled "Assasins," and looking forward to the release of the movie covering the first two books , which I understand is to be released in the year 2000! I'm doing all I can to have all my children and friends I love read this series. Why? Where do you want to spend eternity? With God and loved ones in heaven, or separated from God and loved ones forever in hell? PLEASE DON'T MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ THIS SERIES OF BOOKS. Our Lord is truly speaking to each of us ... let he who has eyes see... let he who has ears hear! May God's blessings be with you all.c
Rating:  Summary: Read them all, kind of wish I didn't Review: The writing in this book and the books that follow is bland, redundant, and often times silly. While I can't argue with the authors' view of biblical prophecy, I can't wholey agree with it either. It is difficult for one to believe that good people can't get into heaven just because they are good, and that God would forsake all who do not call Jesus "Lord". It can also be quite disturbing to read literature that claims Christianity is the only hope for mankind and that all other religions are false. I say good for Tim and Jerry for taking a stand and not making a wishy washy, P.C. book for the masses to swallow. Work on the writing skills, but keep your stance. Tell the truth that everyone will eventually learn, whether they believe it or not.
Rating:  Summary: FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!! Review: My whole family has read each of these books up to ASSASINS.The subject matters are so inline with the scriptures of REVELATIONS !!! LEFT BEHIND was so captivating we couldn't wait for the next to come out! The story got more compelling with each new novel !!! We've also been able to pass the books along to non-christians!
Rating:  Summary: LOVED IT! Review: I loved it, and can't wait to read the next novel in the series. I would recommend Left Behind. I would recommend, Frank Peretti's Visitation, and The Fist of God, by A.T. Nicholas. Both great reads. (The Fist of God has some choice four letter words.) I would say it's a PG-13.
Rating:  Summary: RECOMMENDED TO ME- I RECOMMEND IT TO YOU! Review: My friend from Washington recommended two books for me to read over the summer. Left Behind and The Fist of God, by a new author named A.T. Nicholas. Left Behind was great and I loved the fact that LaHaye and Jenkins have taken on such a difficult subject as the book of Revelations. They have done a great job and have made a great and intertaining story. The Fist of God was also a phenomenal book and it was written in a way that was fast paced and hard to put down. Some of the language is strong. I RECOMMEND BOTH BOOKS.
Rating:  Summary: Great Fiction book about non-fiction times Review: I read this book in less than two days. I couldn't put it down. I got so wrapped up in the lives of the characters that I had to go get the books that followed. A must read for anyone, believer or non-believer.
Rating:  Summary: Puts modern day people into the book of Revelation. Review: At first I wasn't sure I'd like this book because it was written at a lower level than that at which I normally read. I persevered and found it to be acceptable given the importance of the message. I think it was written the way it was so that people of many different ages and intelligence levels could understand it. Let's face it, not too many of us can read through Revelations and get the whole picture. This makes it more personal, more real. You can actually read this book along with Revelations.
Rating:  Summary: great book Review: great you really need to read this it is a must and another spiritual book is tuesdays with moorie
Rating:  Summary: Oh, please. What trash. Review: An overwrought misinterpretation of the bible, suitable for those whose intellectual hunger stopped with "Mad Magazine".Overwritten in a breathlessly junior-high school voice, Tim Lahaye proves that what he lacks in knowledge of an all-loving God, he more than makes up for in his lack of a compassion for humanity - the children of God. I wouldn't allow my children to read this. Not because it's frightening, or because it's so shabbily written - but because it postulates a relationship with God that is vehemently anti-christian, anti-jew and just plainly wrong.
Rating:  Summary: Poorly written; a waste of time and money. Review: It's discouraging to see such poor writing enjoying a place on the best-seller list; I would have given this a "no-star" rating if it had been an option. While the premise is somewhat intriguing at first, the authors' limited skills quickly overwhelm any promise the book might have had. The inherent mystery of biblical prophecy is reduced to the (unbiblical) notion that specific events and dates may be extrapolated from it. The characters...and particularly their dialogue....are drawn in a juvenile, unrealistic manner that I found very off-putting. This book obviously will have a following among those who will seek, in its pages, an affirmation of their own already solidified beliefs. But for individuals who still seek to understand, it may, in many cases, only confirm the unfortunately prevalent notion that Christian fundamentalism is the provenance of ignorance. Two excellent non-fictional works which those truly willing to examine the notion of imminent apocalypse may want to check out are: When Time Shall Be No More, by Paul Boyer, and Apocalypse Pretty soon, by Alex Heard.
