Left Behind: A Novel of the Earth's Last Days (Left Behind No. 1)

Rating:
Summary: One of the best books I've ever read.
Review: I've always been interested in "The End Times". I've read Revilations twice and this is the best repesentation of what's to come that I have read.

Summary: A page turner, but a few things bothered me.
Review: If most of your family disappeared along with half the world's people, wouldn't there be memorial services on every corner? Nary a mention of even one. If you were an airline pilot, wouldn't you wonder how many pilots, air traffic controllers, etc. were left? He took off and flew without asking a question. Wouldn't you wonder if our country had a government? Our government just stood by and let all this UN stuff happen? Life just seemed to flow on, Chloe made a fast conversion, Hattie came out of nowhere to be the right hand (and whatever else) of the most powerful man in the world? A bit of a stretch and everything fell into place a little too neatly. I'm sitting here wondering if I want to read the next 3-4 books. I'm also wondering what happened next - so I guess, despite the large leaps, it was a grabber.

Summary: To affirm your faith or search for the truth, read this book
Review: I really enjoyed this book. The conversions of the main characters were inspiring and powerful. I just happened to read some of the reviews posted and I have to say that the Word of God clearly states that what is seen as wisdom to believers is considered foolishness to those that do not believe. Anyone who says that this does not line up with the Word of God must not have the same Bible that I do, because this is in allignment with the Word of God. Surely, no man can predict exactly what will happen at that time, but when inspired by the Holy Spirit, people can be moved and inspired by this work. Maybe some of the harsh reviewers should read it again and try softening their hearts.

Summary: Excellent Book about the ends of time
Review: This book really gets you thinking about what events will be taking place during and after the rapture of the church. I believe it is a real eye opener and will help you see the urgency of telling others about Chirst and strenghtening your own faith.

Summary: Left Behind
Review: This book was recommended to me by a friend and I literally inhaled this book from cover to cover as the subject was not something I had ever really thought about....but do now. In the meantime I have read the rest of the books in the series and Left Behind and Tribulation Force are the best of the lot and was rather disappointed with Soul Harvest as it did not move as fast as the others.Overall, a very engaging and thought provoking series of books and "Left Behind" is the best book I have read in the last 10 years and I read a great deal. Only other book that riveted my attention like this was David Greene's"Down to a Sunless Sea" in the early 80's...I guess this is a recommendation for his book too!

Summary: I couldn't put it down!
Review: I just bought "Left Behind" almost a week ago and amalmost done with it. It's one of those "read all night, can't putit down" books! "Left Behind" deals with the Rapture and gives a very realistic view of what could happen. Any book that can hold my attention for more than a couple chapters deserves 5 stars! Can't wait to move on to the second book "Tribulation Force"!

Rating:
Summary: Interesting premise, decently written thriller
Review: The authors have obviously come upon a good idea and arewriting the heck out of it. A series I liked a bit better, althoughChristian readers might not be as thrilled, was Robert Doherty's AREA 51 series which is rewriting the entire history of mankind inside the format of a tense modern day thriller that weaves together many myths and legends. I highly recommend that series of books.

Summary: Left Behind: A Fiction Story That Will Really Come True!
Review: This is a great book! I don't usually take the time to write a review on-line about every book I read(actully, this would be my 2nd time), but I had to say at least something about this book. If you don't know much about the rapture(or anything about the rapture), than I really suggest that you get this book. Buy one! You'll love it.

Rating:
Summary: Entertaining, thought provoking from the 1st chapter!
Review: I didn't realize this was a religious fiction until I got into it...then I couldn't put it down. Story flows in entertaining manner, "heart" of story reaches your heart. I've just started Tribulation Force and having a hard time putting it down. THANKS for enlightenment as well as enterainment. These books give you much to think and pray about.

Summary: Great Story Even for Non-Christians
Review: As a book that is catagorized as religious I was weary. But I really enjoyed it. While I don't necessarily agree with the foundations of the book, I have definitely been educated on Chrisitan beliefs and the Bible. The story is very gripping. It reminds me of the movie The Seventh Sign with Demi Moore. It didn't convert me but it certainly enterntained me!
