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

Summary: Where is this world headed?
Review: Left Behind deals with the rapture of the church. The chaos that will errupt with many people disappearing at the same time. Truth and Lies will be exposed. This book is well written and will hold the interest of both the young and older generation. So far there are three in the series. Each book is great. I would suggest that you get all three because you will not want to wait to continue and find out what happens next. My 21 year old and I read all three books in less than two weeks. We both enjoyed the book and cannot wait until the next book is written. I am looking into getting this book on tape for the ones in my family that would rathar listen than read. It is really a wonderful book that spans all generations.

Summary: A remarkable story, that change my view of Christ!
Review: The rapture was not a subject widely discussed in my religious background. This story made me hungry for more. It was compelling and thought provoking. Because of the story, I have gone back to the Bible to compare the outline of "Left Behind" with my understanding of the scripture. A must read!

Summary: Good Introduction for the mainstream audience
Review: I picked this book-up..., and had no idea what it was about. Both my husband and I found it fascinating, and have looked for sequels. I'm not a religious person, but I caught some of the messages that were being conveyed. It wasn't until I read the other reviews that I realized how much of a religious message was being transmitted, and to what a limited audience it was marketed. I found this book to be as interesting and enlightening as the Celestine Prophecy, and wonder why it doesn't have the same mainstream acceptance. world religions coming together and being at peace with one another. Precursor to the one-world-religion?! And there is so much devastation and world chaos. One cannot help but know that time is short.

Summary: Execellent, could not stop reading utill I had read all.
Review: I could not stop reading, I read all three books avaiable over the Christmas holidays and can not wait to get the next book. I am telling every one I know to read these books, and giving away copies of the books when I can. It wakes you up to the end time prophecy.

Summary: A Wake-up Call To Mankind!!!
Review: I happened to read this book during the Christmas holidays. I have been fascinated by the book of Revelation ever since my salvation and hence it was treat to read a novel about it. The novel is gripping and a great supplement to the book of Revelation. Ever since I've been warning all fellow-believers I know about the Rapture. In fact I gifted an unbeliever colleague of mine a copy of this novel. Also in the process I'm preparing myself for the rendezvous with the Almighty coz I definitely don't want to be LEFT BEHIND!

Summary: An eyeopening account of what is to come for us all...
Review: I picked up this book with the intention of a good read. Halfway through, I felt that this book had truly touched my soul. I know the Bible and all the facts about the Rapture and Tribulation, but when seen from the perspective of those who did not transcend, well.... What an eye opener. While the book is based on nonfiction accounts from the Bible, the fictionalized portions bring the whole thing down to us. It is easy to read the Bible and let it fly over your head and say oh that is so true. But to hear how it could be lived out if we were to be left behind. All I can say, is it made me want to make sure of my committment so I wouldn't be. Happy Reading!

Summary: Alarming and a sense of urgency
Review: This book was captivating and very interesting. It has given me a sense of urgency and desire to make sure that I tell others about Christ. I also want people to know what it is about me that is different instead of thinking that I'm just a nice person. I look forward to reading the sequels and growing through my desire to compare the books to scripture.

Summary: This book got to me - big time!
Review: I wish I could give a copy of this book to every non-christian in the world. It's a great wake up call! I found the book hard to put down and impossible to keep to myself. Definately a book for sharing.

Summary: If you can read, READ THIS!
Review: This book is one of the most powerful works of fiction I have ever read. It is solidly scriptural, but reads just like you are watching it as a movie. You feel a part of this book! I read it in one afternoon, then immediately bought the next book (Tribulation Force) then again immediately bought the Third book in the series (Nicolae). "Way to Go, Tim Lahaye and Jerry Jenkins! Keep em coming!

Summary: Timely, Believable, Every-day life during the last days
Review: Most books dealing w/ this subject have been written for and by the religious leaders. This series brings it home to your job, your dinner table, etc. Shows how it will affect those of us to have to work and pay bills and raise families. VERY enlightening. You will want to keep the book of Revelation handy!
