Summary: Great book! Very thought provoking....
Review: I could not put the book down! Once I began reading it, I could not stop. Although the characters are fictional, it does make one think of his own personal relationship with God. Would YOU be among those taken by God as HIS people? If you can't answer that question, then it's time to develop that relationship today!

Summary: Left Behind shows great changes in people though many losses
Review: "Left Behind" is a great book for anyone of a Christian faith. Possibly other religions too. Left behind showed the changes in human thought through losses of loved ones, finding new friends, and creating new reationships.In an instant millions of people vanish leaving everything behind. Many see these loved ones disappear before their very eyes, only to find a stack of clothes, the occaiasional book or contact lenses. Finding new friends encourages 3 characters to change their views towards a more encouraging, and possibly more lagical, reason for the unaccounted for. And learing to trust and love are foreshadowing for the next book in the series, "Tribulation Force."

Summary: It's the great beggining to a great series!
Review: I really loved the book. I actually read it in Portuguesse for the first time. I wonder in how many other languages it is printed in. I loved the plot, the characters, the way it's written, and the way it progresses. I could not put it down for one minute. I had to read it the whole way through. I recomend it very much. When I finished, I knew that there had to be a sequel, even though I wasn't sure.

Summary: Dream on . . .
Review: Just where the pre-trib rapture belongs: in the fiction category along with Meier, Lindsey, and Missler. Typical Christian pre-trib conspiracy theory fables and cliches, wordy, long winded, and boring. Blew by the Ezekiel 38 war in a paragraph which might have made the book more interesting had he taken more of a Tom Clancy approach to it. If you buy this book, you are wasting your money and falling for another of Satan's lies. Read your Bibles people! No where in it does it say that you will be raptured before the Tribulation period.

Summary: Cheap thrillers and theology don't mix
Review: Lahaye and Jenkins are not"novelists" in the literary sense of the word. They are preachers in the tradition of "Doomsday prophets and/or profits". The publisher claims that over 1.5 million copies of the books in the series have been sold already. Are there that many 'Born Again' religious cultists hoping and praying for the 'Rapture'? We live in a world that seems to present new threats and conflicts on a daily basis. The authors of this book have wasted about 450 pages to say what they could have in a 10 page essay. Those who are sincere in their faith and have accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior will go to Heaven. All others will be left behind in a world that may very well be ruled by Satan himself, a devil disguised to look like Robert Redford. Real trite. Satan would have more imagination than this. The novel is an insult to the reader and to Satan. His cunning is far more wicked than what Lahaye and Jenkins present. The main characters in the novel, like Rayford Steele, are also trite and cardboard stick figures. This is almost comic book fiction. I read the first few chapters with some interest but finally just skimmed the book and tossed it aside. The writing would appeal to anyone with the educational level of a sixth grader but insults the intelligence of any adult reader. And this includes anyone who believes in Jesus. Holy hustlers, anything to sell a pulp novel. I'm sure Lahaye and Jenkins are enjoying their profits from this novel and the others in the series, but their style of writing is that of holy hustlers out to make a buck. I want a refund. Sincerely, R. McKinney

Summary: This book puts "feet" on the Book of revelation.
Review: Once I started reading this book I could not put it down it literally had me cheering, crying and laughing like a movie normally would. It has opened my eyes to the warnings of the book of Revelation and has spring boarded my study of end time prophecy.

Summary: Really good book
Review: I know that a lot of people think that this book is trying to denounce other religions, and shove Christianity down peoples' throats. Well, if you will take the time to read this book, whether you believe or not, you will come to understand that these excellent authors aren't trying to say that certain religions are false, and sinners should repent. In fact, the two men are stating the truth. The truth about the end-times, when all the Christians will be taken up. Many will not accept the Biblical viewpoint until their Christian friends are taken up. If you don't believe me, I know that someday you will. No doubt in my mind.

Summary: Theologically flawed
Review: This book is a gripping suspense novel, the first of a popular series. Its strength is its written style and plot development. However, the entire plot development is based on a dispensationalist eschatology which is theologically flawed. The book depends on a literal interpretation of many Old Testament prophecies, whereas Scripture itself indicates that many of these prophecies are to be understood spiritually. "Israel" designates the New Testament church (Gal 6:16; Heb 8:10), and the "Jerusalem" of prophecy also is fulfilled in spiritual sense, as is clear from Gal 4:24 and Heb 12:22. When one understands that the book's theology is fundamentally flawed, one can not but realize that the book has a serious weakness. Unfortunately, when the book is stripped of its flawed theology, nothing remains, for it is this theology which forms the plot. If you are not an adherent of dispensationalist eschatology, I would strongly recommend not reading this book, as it will only confuse and disappoint the reader.

Summary: The second most powerful event in my life!
Review: I didn't learn how to read until I was 26years old and now I can't stop reading but of all the books I have read this book changed my life forever. What a gift it must be to trasport someone from place to place with a simple word writen on paper. Read It!! I promise you will not want to put it down. Victoria
