Summary: Another great book in the series...
Review: The Remnant is another fine book in the Left Behind Series. While it lacked some of the flair that Apollyon had, it is one of the better books in the series. The book suffers a bit from a slow beginning, but the end more than makes up for it. The tendency of the authors to use too many characters at once has settled off a bit as the plagues take their toll on the populace. Nevertheless, the vivid detail in the post-Rapture world sends chills up and down my spine. I am sure there will be some big critics of the book, nevertheless, this book holds true to the series and the whole predispensational millenialism view the authors espouse. There is nothing really overtly shocking or sensational about the book. However, I would not recommend non-Christian or anyone for that matter to begin with this book. Read the books in order starting with Left Behind to avoid a whole lot of confusion.

Summary: The Remnant: On the Brink of Armageddon (Left Behind No. 10)
Review: The Left Behind Series are written for those who are focused on LaHaye's preconceived ideas of end time events and not what the Holy Bible teaches in Daniel and Revelation.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Yet Another Excellent Novel in the Left Behind Series
Review: I loved this book, just as I have loved the rest of the Left Behind series. Written by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins, these books deliver a powerful spiritual message without denominational slurs and an in-your-face attack. This book, like others, has a powerful storyline, a strong message, and memorable characters. I highly recommend this book - and any book in this series - for anybody interested in Christianity or the end times.

The main characters - Rayford, Chloe, and Buck - continue their saga in the times after the Rapture. This book is high suspense, making the time it takes to turn a page seem like forever. What will Nicolae do next? What does God's great plan have in store for the Tribulation Force? How many people will come to witness the power of Christ? Many secrets await, and new faces will appear.

As I stated before, I highly recommend this novel and other novels in the series. I certainly would read the books in order (this is number ten), and I would have a bible handy to catch many of the allusions. However, for the most part it is a fun read with a powerful message. I can't wait until next year for the next installment!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Makes you think
Review: This book is really a good book to read if your interested in our last days, it really edjucates you on the bible without confusing you. This book tells of many peoples stories of the last days and what happens to them. I really recomend this book, you'll love it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: New Narrator
Review: I have enjoyed all of these books on audio tape. I have a long commute and it is the perfect time to listen to audio tapes.

The story for this book is very good, although it skips around a lot (probably due to the abridgement). If I remember correctly it covers more time than the last two books combined.

My biggest disappointment was the new narrator. I really enjoyed the way the previous narrator differentiated between the characters with identifiable accents and inflections. This new narrator seemed a little flat. He has a great voice, just not as good characterization. It also took me a while to get used to his pronunciation of the various names and changed accents (they are different from before.) Nicolae and Leon have totally different accents in this version and sometimes it was difficult to tell who was saying what. The story line is good and still keeps you sitting on the edge of your seat. I hope the next two books will have the previous narrator.

This version is a little disappointing (due to the narrator), but still worth the listening. I can't wait for the next book!

Summary: Welcome Back! Book 10 is a great 'save' after Book 9.
Review: After reading Desecraton, I was so disappointed that I was ready to hang up the series. Books 1-6 had been enjoyable and what I would consider 'really good' books for all. By books 7&8 things were beginning to decline. However, when I read book 9 I was certain that the only reason it was published was because of the author's names and the attention they had drawn from the previous books in the series. What a total disappointment it was. I came close to not continuing with the series. However, I am very glad I was stuborn and proceeded to do so. The Remnant is truly worthy of putting them back into favor with me.

The Remnant is fast moving, and detailed. We are seeing events happening and unfolding as we would imagine they will be. You will see action that includes nearly all of the characters being involved, without staying on one character or series of events that lasts too long. The pace is set just right. It is not going too quickly that it is skipping details that are important, and yet it is not slowing down and describing every minor and boring detail that we surely are not interested in.

Chloe is annoying, and although her desire to 'be in the action' obviously shows us that she is better off working on the Coop project, she proves she is not good when it comes to common sense in a crisis. Sabastian's section of his capture and exciting escape is detailed and truly a worthy adventure in itself. The rather silly appearance of Michael as co-pilot was somewhat goofy, but humourous in a way. (While at the same time, we can only admit that God works in mysterious ways and He can do anything) And, the amazing events at Petra will only confirm how the Lord does protect His flocks.

Reading this can only bring comfort to those who fear death. That is..........if you know the truth. Although none of us want to leave our loved ones. And, I know that I am a sinner and it will be hard for me when I have to look Jesus in the eyes and answer for what I've done here. I surely have not used all that He has given me and done my best. It is still exciting, to us who know Christ. And, to those who do not, I pray it will make them want to. That it will make them search and find the Truth.

This book is fiction, we all know that. But, only God knows exactly when and where and how these events will take place. The stories from this series bring out our imagination to think and comprehend what is totally uncomprehensible. Many things are quoted from scripture and will occur. The hows,whens, wheres - we have yet to find out. But, if you are not a believer,you surely will find some parts that cause you to want to search further and learn more. I pray that you do. If for no other reason than to just learn more. If you are a believer, then you can enjoy these, knowing that although they are fictional writing, they are inspired by truth.

I definitly recommend this book. And, although you may have been dissappointed with 9, don't give up and stop there. Read on.

Summary: Unbiblical Drivel
Review: Rapture Theology is a garbage and so are the Left Behind books. Anyone who thinks that are scripturally accurate does not know scripture

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Better than the last few, not as good as the first
Review: I have every intention of finishing the series (as long as they reach Armageddon in one of the next two books) but I tend to agree with previous reviewers that the series is being 'milked' for money now. The authors might want to remember that money is not the God they should be worshipping.

As far as the story goes, there is very little of Rayford or Buck in this one. There is a lot more of the Chang family. I think that there are too many characters now to keep track of and that the series would be better if they were dealing more directly with the trials of the original trib force instead of vaguely introducing what those characters are doing now and jumping from character to character. The original few books were very detailed in emotionalizing how awful the judgments were, now it is more like bragging 'Ha ha look at what you got that I don't have' which doesn't seem to be very Christian to me. The original characters repeatedly say things like 'I don't understand WHY they just don't accept God' instead of truly thinking (I was thinking, duh, just accept a God that is PUNISHING you??? I don't think it is RIGHT, but I can understand why people would still be confused). Not enough of Tsion or Chaim or most of the original Trib force. Chloe finally has a bit more of a role. Leah is practically nonexistent (mentioned a few times, not active). All in all, I think that they need to figure out a limit to the number of plot directions they are going in and stick to those.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: They just keep getting better!
Review: The Remnant has continued where "Desecration" left off, but for some reason the reading is easier and the characters even more believable. With each twist and turn the authors show us God's awesome power and the unfortunate situations that those "Left Behind" must face.

While focusing primarily on the faith that the new believers have gained in the Lord, The Remnant further demonstrates the "Bowl Judgements" prophesized in the book of Revelation.

With an action packed attempt at retrieving a fellow believer from the hands of the GC, we get a clearer picture of Chloe Steele-Williams' adventurous side, as well as the leadership and spiritual growth of Mac McCullum.

From a daring prison-break to a false-prophet performing miracles, to actual contact with angels such as Michael, Christopher, and Enoch, The Remnant delves further into the Great Tribulation. This book expresses the horrors of life after Christ's rapture of His church, but also gives us hope and faith in God and His overwhelming demonstrations of love and grace.

Definitely a must read. Can't wait another year for the next one!!!
