Summary: Surprisingly thoughtful
Review: ...This "Christian" book, which I picked up on a slightly embarrassed whim, completely captivated me. I truly began to question my faith and my entire life. Although I believe I am a good and moral person, I know, in my heart, that I would have been left behind. I may not be ready to dedicate my life to Christ and begin witnessing, but my curiosity is piqued and there are far too many questions and coincidences around to disregard this prophecied possibility as the answer to the downward spiral of this world. I too am hooked - for the story, which I believe is well written (though a bit sterile), but for the next piece of the puzzle. Stranger things have happened and this is far too important to disregard. If one book can make a person question their life and decisions, then it is an important book. I will read all of the intallments.

Summary: eye opener
Review: Starting out on a 747 bound to Heathrow, England, people suddenly disappear on the plane. It soon becomes clear that there are people missing all over the world. Soon you have a pilot, his daughter, a minister, and a reporter searching for all the right answers. And to top it off, you have a political figure from the country of Romania who quickly starts to rise in power and gains fame! And the conclusion to this first book is awesome! Mystery, action, suspense! It has it all! A good book based on the book of revelations from the bible.

Summary: If you think hard, this could happen to us.
Review: Wow. That's a response that I made after reading the best book I have every read. I, for one, have never been that religious. I didn't like going to church, I didn't get all those religius books, etc. But, when I found out about this book and read it, I just had to sit back and think about the world that we live it. In this book, the world was able to finally come together and could finally be viewed at as a whole. In our world today, we have violence across the streets all over. Sometimes I wish I could live in the world the book described....until you find out what happens.This book is the starting point of the anti-christ taking over and the rapture occuring. Though it seems far-fetched at times, you have to remember that they authors, Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, got all of their information from the book of Revalation in the bible. People in the book that did not follow the ten commandments and not be a true christian were Left Behind while the others that did the right deeds disappeared leaving their loved ones behind. Left Behind gets sad at times and is a definite page turner. I suggest this book to anyone that wants to turn their life around and come to realize that we aren't around forever. If we want to make it to heaven, we need to make the right choices. Left Behind showed me that and got me in the position that I am in today. I thank you Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins for creating such a life-like and moving book. Currently I am in book 4 now and just love the series. This book builds up suspense by going through things slowly and making you think more then you thought you ever could. Honestly, everyone needs to sometime read this book and sit down and think. Think about the situations you are in now. What can you do to improve them? This book shows you the way and deserves to be a best-seller which it most certainly is. Please order this book today and you will never regret that you did.

Summary: Points to Ponder
Review: Until I read this book, I was under the impression that I was "good enough". Now, through reading this book, I realize that I have tons to learn. Not ever being particularly devout, I never paid attention to what was in the Bible. I couldn't quite grasp the message. This book put it in language that the most avid backslider (like me) can understand. I have never had a book that made me think more or run to look up Bible verses like this one did. I am ordering the rest of the series. Besides having a valuable message for the masses, this was an entertaining and compelling read.

Summary: For Those Who Don't Want Left Behind
Review: This a great easy reader for all who want to know more about the book Revelation. Left Behind is the intro a great series of Christian fiction. Normally, books about the Bible can be very confusing, including the Bible itself. This puts the last book of the bible, Revelation, into a perspective that many can understand. It is really easy to read and the story is simple to follow. The only problem is that you'll be hooked and have to buy the rest of the series.

Summary: From start to finish, a gripping story...
Review: In an instant, dozens of passengers on an international airline flight simply disappear... and pilot Rayford Steele soon discovers, to his horror, that untold millions worldwide vanished at the same instant -- including his own wife and son! While the world reels from the cataclysmic event, Steele bands with others who have been "left behind" to discover who or what is responsible for the disappearances. Why did the people vanish? What determined who stayed and who left? And where did they go? The answers may lie in book written 2000 years ago and on a videotape left in a nearly-empty church... A fascinating read, absorbing and suspenseful, this book is the first in a series of novels that has millions of readers worldwide waiting for the next release. And the most gripping aspect of the "Left Behind" series? It may not be fiction! Highly recommended.

Summary: WELL WRITTEN, SUSPENSEFUL, EXCITING, RECOMMEND HIGHLY!
Review: IN RESPONSE TO A PREVIOUS REVIEW THAT DEPICTED THE WRITING AS INFERIOR, THE CHARACTER'S AS RIGHT WING AND THE MESSAGE AS A BLATANT ATTEMPT AT "JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY" CHRISTIAN BELIEFS. HE IS CORRECT ON ONLY ONE COUNT. CHRISTIANITY DOES PURPORT THAT "JESUS IN THE ONLY WAY" AND THE AUTHORS PRESENT THIS MESSAGE IN A FACT SUPPORTED, BIBLICALLY BASED, WELL WRITTEN WAY. THE WRITING IN THIS SERIES IS TRUE TO THE WORD AND SUPPORTED BY THE WORD. THE CHARACTERS ARE NOT "FLAT" AS THE PREVIOUS REVIEWER NOTES, BUT ARE WRITTEN IN A WAY THAT MAINTAINS SUSPENSE AND REVEALS BITS OF THEIR CHARACTER SLOWLY, THROUGH THE EVER INCSREASING SUSPENSE OF THE NOVELS AND DRAMATIC AUDIO PRESENTATIONS. I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW TOUCHING THE DEPICTIONS OF ENCOUNTERS WITH GOD ARE IN THIS SERIES. WHEN THE CHARACTERS INTERACT WITH THE ALMIGHTY, NOT THROUGH SOME COSMIC HOCUS POCUS, BUT IN BIBLICALLY SUPPORTED WAYS- THE READER IS INTROUDUCED TO A GOD WHO LOVES AND CARES ABOUT HIS CHILDREN AND INTERVENES IN HIS OR HER LIFE TO LEAD AND DIRECT. PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO BUY EITHER THE BOOK SERIES OR THE AUDIO SERIES. EACH VERSION WILL TOUCH YOUR HEART AND AS UN-BELIEVERS ARE INTRODUCED TO THE MESSAGE, WHETHER BY SEEING YOU READING, OR HEARING THE AUDIO- THEY WILL BE DRAWN TO ASK QUESTIONS AND INVITATIONS TO EXPOUND ON THE BOOK WILL ABOUND. I CAN PERSONALLY TELL YOU THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MANY TIMES AT MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE HOLY SPRIT DIRECTS PEOPLES EYES TO THESE PRESENTATIONS OF THE GOSPEL, JUST TO STIR THEIR INTEREST AND PROVIDE YOU WITH AN OPENING TO GIVE THEM A LITTLE BIT OF THE WORD. PLEASE DON'T HAVE ANY HESITATION IN BUYING THESE PRODUCTS. THE AUTHORS ARE ANNOINTED WRITERS WHO HAVE SOMEHOW, WITH GOD'S HELP, BREATHED NEW LIFE INTO THE BIBLICAL BOOK OF REVELATION.

Summary: Trash
Review: If you wish to solidify your negative religious teachings about a vengeful, punishing god who inflicts cruel and unusual punishment on his children by all means read all of these books. If you have had enough of this, I would recommend the books Conversations With God and An Encounter With A Prophet, books designed to get rid of these primitive concepts of god and introduce you to God's unconditional love for his children.

Summary: A truly amazing book!
Review: I am now totally hooked on this series! I can't wait to see what happens next. This is an easy to understand book that relates the Revelations bible text to something that could easily happen in real life. While this is obviously only one author's fictional theory on what will happen in the rapture, it really makes you think. As a reader who tends to skim and skip pages, I didn't skip one single word of this book. I couldn't put it down. As well, it is a good read for people at all spiritual levels, whether you are completely familiar with Revalations or not, and it is an interesting enough read for non Christians as well. Reading this book is sure to generate questions in your mind and will probably make you turn to your bible just to clarify some things. Unlike some Christian books, it is not overly preachy, just an exciting, drama-filled account. In fact, however, this matter-of-fact writing style gets the point across more effectively than anything else I've ever read! I would encourage new believers, old believers, and non-believers to look at this unique presentation of the word of God.

Summary: Amazing Reading!!
Review: It only took me two days to read the first five books of this series, I read the last two on the day they came out. They were absolutely amazing! Now I am anxiously awaiting the eighth book, The Mark. I normally read Tom Clancy and the like, so this was a bit of a change. What a welcome change! I was stand-offish about the biblical subject matter at first, but I am glad that didn't stop me. They are very easy to read, but they are hard to put down. If you are a Christian, this is a great way to learn more about the sometimes obscure writings in Revelations, and give you pause to address your own faith. Whether or not you agree with this version of the book of Revelations, the story is still compelling! If you are not a Christian and you enjoy action adventure books, this is definitely worth the time!
