Summary: TRUE TO THE WORD EXCELLENCE. CAN'T RECOMMEND MORE 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: Life changing reading to all who read and hear the message
Review: Left behind is currently in production as a movie. It is being filmed in Canada and should be released in the United States, December 2000. We can't wait for this to be released!!!!

Summary: Best series ever!
Review: My mother told me about the 'Left Behind' series, they sounded interesting so I borrowed the first book. I couldn't put it down! Within two weeks I read all 5 published books in the series and I cannot wait until the next one is released. It's a great story of what will happen to those who do not receive Christ as their savior before He returns to rapture His church. I recommend these books to everyone, even non-believers who don't fully get it - yet!

Summary: Excellent listening but could they talk a little less?
Review: Occasionally a book may sound (sic.) better on audio. This one does! Never being intended as a theological deep study, having Biblical truth re-written in an action series, this 4 CD box is a breath-taking experience. My wife commented that she no longer wonders what started me off again on Last Days studies after years of concentrating on different material. I miss two things only - not due to the authors (thereby no reduction in rating): Why can't I take a portable CD player on transatlantic flights and, could the actors talk a little less and leave more to sonic impression? I know it's possible, BBC has proven it on half hour radio plays totally without dialogue. Sign me up for all the following CD's of the series, please.

Summary: THERE IS NONE BETTER!!
Review: OVERALL: The Left Behind book is presented in these CDs as an audio drama (like old time radio shows). Different actors read the parts. 3 stars for fulfilling my desire to hear the story in an engaging manner, but the direction of the characters was poor and the sound was inconsistent. PROS: It's a great story. Reminded me of what happened earlier on in the series (I had already read the books); passed the time on my 7 hour drive to see my sister. (This set must have taken 5 hours.) CONS: The characters are portrayed like real jerks at first (vs. the book & movie in which they seemed more "everyday"). The "acting" is sometimes very poor (some of Steve Plank's lines were terrible). The music adds to the interest but it is way too loud compared to the volume of the voices. It's hard to follow sometimes, even having read the books. RECOMMENDATION: Read the books if you can first - you can go at your own pace and the acting/directing in your head is always better than what can came across on the CDs.

Summary: Excellent Series
Review: Thanksgiving holiday this year meant taking a 600+ mile car trip. I bought this set of tapes hoping that they would make the drive less painful. So, how were they? Other than a couple of minor complaints, I thought these tapes were awesome! Overall, it is an excellent production with great voice acting, sound effects, and music. Time just flew by! My only real regret was that I had finished all six hours of listening long before I reached my destination. I'll be purchasing the Tribulation Force tapes today.

Summary: Hard to Follow
Review: The Experience in Sound and Drama cassette was hard to follow for me. I drive a lot on my job and wanted something to listen to to keep me company. It's a good idea to try something like this as opposed to someone just reading the book, but it simply doesn't work. Some voices are so low you can't hear them and some are so loud that you have to turn the volume down. I purchased the regular abriged edition on cassette for Tribulation Force and found it much easier to follow, the reader is very good and changes his voice very effectively as he goes from one character to another. My grandmother is blind and she would definetly not be able to follow the sound and drama series,but would have no trouble following the regular abriged edition with the reader.

Summary: Brings the book to life!
