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

Summary: 2 timothy 3:16
Review: I think the book was God sent to me. My pastor is spending several weeks on Revelations and this book was very timely. It was easy reading and not being an avid reader I enjoyed how it flowed so easily. I didn't look at it as a book designed to convert non Christians but rather a novel based on biblical fact to help Christians embrace their faith that much more.

Summary: Hopeful that no one gets left behind
Review: I've read other books of the genre of Left Behind such as This Present Darkness by Frank Peretti the consumate Christian novelest.However Left Behind is a book like none before it.It actually puts you in the middle of the rapture.This book could be a very effective witnessing tool.Which I'm sure this is what the authors main intent was all along.Having read all 4 novels I can hardly wait for the fifth! Thanx Guys! May God Bless!!

Summary: WOW! This book was like nothing I have ever read!!!
Review: I have never seen such imagination before, this book left me on the edge of my seat. I could't wait to get to the next novel...I hope and pray that a movie producer will read this book and put all the novels on film, and talk about some serious mind boggling imagination to say the least. Once I started the read this book I could't stop the characters were so real to me, the seens so detailed that I felt like I was right there in every seen...amazing....I want to see this book and its sequals in the movies so bad that if someone doesn't make the movies I will send a copy to ever movie producer I can get an address for and let them see for themselves that this is no ordinary novel...there is there is nothing ordinary about it...

Summary: Life Changing
Review: This is the most Life changing book I have ever read. I can no longer sit on the fence with my beliefs, but must choose whom I will serve. I am the mother of 4 kids (10 & under) and finished this book in 3 days--I couldn't put it down! Can't wait to read the other 3 books.

Summary: This one's a life-changer
Review: OK, any non-Christian who reads these books and still isn't a Christian...e-mail me and we'll talk. **** P.S. I thank God for these authors because they make a sometimes hard to understand period of the Bible exciting and easy to understand. †I'm praying for ya

Summary: A book you'll think about for a while!
Review: Many of the members of our Bible school class have read "Left Behind" and the other books in this series. It came highly recommended. The book started off very intense, but then it kind of lagged until toward the end when the intensity again built up. For a while, I kept waiting for something to happen and became a little impatient. But the end really built back up. I was somewhat disappointed that the end (?) was really not an end at all, but a direct lead in to the next book. These books are definitely not "stand alone." You have no choice but to go on and read the next. Not that I'll mind...they are well written and really turn your mind to eternity, which we all need spend more time contemplating. I used to not be able to imagine the events described in this book as really happening, but I think God is using Jenkins & LaHaye to show people that our times do provide the environment that all the strange things that we've been told wil! l happen, can very logically happen in this world. Are we ready?

Summary: LIFE CHANGING!!
Review: I just hope that Tim LeHaye and Jerry Jenkins realize how much they changed my life through this book. I can't say I was a christian before reading this book but I can say I am a believer because of this book. Thank you from the bottom of my heart (and my family's). P.S. The rest of the series is just as great as this one!

Summary: Really makes you stop and think!
Review: I have just finished reading the third book, "Nicolae - Rising of the Antichrist" and am starting the fourth book, "Soul Harvest". All three prior books have been fascinating. I started reading these books because all of my co-workers, Christian and non-Christian alike are currently reading them and sharing them among one another. The ONLY reason I haven't given them 5 stars is because of the somewhat weak character development. While, for the most part, they seem believable, there ARE certain points that are not...most notably Buck's character. Somehow his "pre-saved" lifestyle of being a "worldly" renown journalist, yet so "innocent" in his lifestyle, including his lack of experience in romantic aspects of life is not quite believable. It's hard to believe that such a person would be so naive and inexperienced in physical relationships before meeting and falling in love with Chloe. Nevertheless, this is a fantas! tic story. I have read many of the other reviews here. These books have had great impact on many people...

Summary: Get Your Ducks In a Row!
Review: I first heard of "Left Behind" when Beverly LaHaye interviewed her husband Tim on her radio show. He read the first few paragraphs on the air, and I had to have the book just from that teaser! Having read all 4 books, I'm looking forward to the fifth, due out August '99. The only thing bad about the books is that words alone cannot nearly describe the agony that will be suffered for those "Left Behind". The entire series is awesome - I highly recommend it.

Summary: These books are great ministry tools!! Incredible!!
Review: I have never read a book so intense that I just couldn't put it down. I didn't want it to end because I didn't have book 2 yet. For 2 days I was miserable awaiting for book 2. If you order this one, order the Tribulation Force along with it because it won't take you but 2 days to read this one! This book makes you look at your life and take account of where you stand with Jesus Christ. I have been using these books to witness to non-christians because it is non threatening type reading. And once you start, you can't put it down. There is no way, you could read this and not be changed by it. Thank you for such a wonderful series of books. They have made my faith stronger and helped me understand Revelations a little more. You gentlemen are doing a wonderful job! Keep up the good work!
