Summary: And so It Begins...
Review: I should have titled this one "Twilight Zone meets Revelation". Similies between TZ and this work are coincidence. The Hand of God is at work here. The perfect explanation of and about the events occured and occuring leave a believer in the position to see the flimsy web of deciept woven by the spin doctors of the apocolypse. Sadly , most of us will fall for this pablum fed by the spoon full by said decievers. The premise of LEFT BEHIND is told from the point of view of a few who realize what has happened; after a while and after a grouping of those who have a purpose in the will of God in the End-of-Days just happen to meet. Pure Biblical prophesy here. The Authors have managed to weave a tale of the Modern world into this ancient prophesy without flaw. Bravo! I am way ahead in reading but behind in reviewing. Left Behind as it were. (Pun intended) Read this work in the vein I feel it was intended... before it is too late.

Summary: Interesting story, but too preachy
Review: It was an interesting story but I found it to be too preachy and anti-everything except born again christians. Some of the writing is disjointed and stiff.

Summary: Love this series!
Review: I really loved this book and couldn't wait to begin the second one in the series. I've read all of the books in the series to date and am still anticipating the next one to be published.These books make the end times come alive and promote thought about the tribulation period. It makes me care more about telling my friends and family about how they can avoid this terrible time through giving their life to Jesus Christ.

Summary: Scared, Cried, Prayed...
Review: If you want to really see what the end times could be like, yes I know this is a work of fiction...but it is based on the Bible, read this series. I picked it up at a store just before heading out on business just after it's orginial release, I read the entire book that day. I have never seen a book/series that has kept my attention and longing like this series has. If your a christian or not this series is for you...

Summary: Great for action lovers
Review: This is my favorite series. I started reading them in July, 2000. I love action books, and I'm a big reader. It really opened my eyes to the Christian faith, and it made me use my imagination to its wildest limits. I started out reading book number 4, because I was bored, and had nothing else to read. I liked it so much, I checked out number 5. I am reading number 7 right now, and I can't put it down. I'll tell you something else...I'm only 13 years old, if that will prove anything.

Summary: Wake up call!
Review: There is something for everyone in this book. I couldn't read fast enough and have just started the second in the series with great anticipation. The subject matter is one that most everyone has heard of and it's left up to the reader to make his/her own decisions about their faith (or lack thereof). Definitely well spent time reading this one!

Summary: The best book next to the "Good Book"
Review: I had put off reading the Left Behind series, because I figured it was just a fad. Everyone in my church seemed to be reading these books. Finally, I gave in and bought a copy to see what the fuss is about. WOW! I was addicted, I have now read all 7 books and am eagerly awaiting the 8th book (The Mark, due out in November.) Anyone who wants to get a stronger grasp on the prophecies in Revelations should read this series. It totally rocks :-)

Summary: Only for members of the club
Review: I picked up this book looking for something that might be fun, even knowing that it probably wouldn't jive with what I believe. But, this book is so inconsequential. There is no substance. The characters are so disconnected from their own experiences and the events around them, their emotions and actions seem pasted on. And the details are non-existent. I think the only people that will enjoy reading this book, or this apparently endless series, will be those who currently believe exactly as the authors do and are seeking capitulation, even if its fictional. This leaves me feeling quite cynical about the authors. They seem to know that there is an audience for this type of material. They'll hit the circuit of televised evangelism and make big money. But, I don't really believe that. The authors have written other books, particularly LaHaye, offering religion based advice on the subjects of married life, family life and mental illness (depression). And I think they want to carry on a ministry in this sort of writing. I'd like to review this book on something other than it's tight fisted religious agenda but, there really is nothing else. I suggest that anyone considering reading this book, first look through a number of these on-line reviews. People in Ministry give many of the lowest ratings, as well as devout lay people and avid fiction readers. I was raised as a Protestant but, I'm completely lost when I read reviews that say this book will inspire people, or make them reevaluate their life. Religious experience is non-existent, the characters are cold and calculating as if they want to make the right deal with God. The basis for salvation is spelled out, not too clearly, by the character Rayford Steele's wife's new found religion and by subsequent events in the book, not exactly a basis for a new, inspired look at life. If you don't buy the concept of redemption as being disappeared out of your clothes and attending funerals where the corpse disappears don't look for anything to sway you in this story. Or, for cripees sake any kind of evidence of "research". It is really quite comical that a woman on the airplane at the beginning of the book says something like, please find my husband and give him a blanket, he's a religious person and will be embarrassed if he's seen naked. Oh, brother. He's just disappeared out of his clothes, wherever he went, he went in the flesh and naked, too. So, if you're a member of the club and want to believe as the authors do you'll enjoy this book. If you're not you'll be bored.
