Summary: Everyone I give it to wants more and more
Review: I was saved directly due to "Thief in the Night" Now I realize that my Christian service is not what it should be. I have read all the books -- thought that I was good to wait a week before opening Assassins. It is so uplifting. And encouraging. I know this is just one author's interpretation of what will happen. But it gives me encouragement to work NOW to keep my friends out of that. Or anything like it. It is also encouragement to go back to the Source, the Bible. And read again what it has to say.I wish there was a Rabbi Tsion Ben Judah already. The "experience in Sound and Drama" version, if anything, ADDS to what is in the book. It enlarges on things that are left to the assumption. The only thing I miss is the spot where Buck eats a cookie on the stage of the signing so he and Chloe can share the moment together. Tribulation Force keeps the momentum going. Everything is so quick. If you have not read the book, or even if you have, you might get confused by some time jumps that are not really adequately telegraphed. But it is not enough to keep me from listening to this book -- and this series -- over and over and over again. Three times now since I first read them last Christmas

Summary: Good Story TOTALLY Ruined by Anti-Catholic Plot Twists ..
Review: The subject is fascinating -- particularly now, as we approach the millenium; the author's writing style is easy to read, and the characters and events, set against the Book of Revelation COULD have been blended into a captivating which both entertains and draws readers to Christ. For me, however, this book was totally ruined by the needless and vicious attacks on the Catholic church. At page 53 (hardcover), I learned that MOST Catholics were left behind after the Rapture. (Granted, the word "most" is never used; readers are told instead that, while "some" Catholics were Raptured, "many" were left behind. I checked several English language dictionaries, and the meaning is clear ...) The authors would have us believe that Catholics are so woefully ignorant of the Scriptures that those left behind totally miss the significance of the Rapture. The Catholic hierarchy -- cardinals and bishops who serve the Lord -- is left intact at the Vatican, with the exception of the pope, Raptured only because he abandoned elements of Catholic theology deemed erroneous by the authors. A Catholic cardinal is used by the authors to fall in league with the Antichrist and head a global psuedo-religion which rejects all crucial tenets of Christianity. I fail to see how any of this advances the story of Rayford, Amanda, Buck and Chloe in their journey to new faith. The authors offered no thoughts on the relative numbers of other Christian faith traditions included in the Rapture, so why do so for Catholics? If a leader of the global community church is needed for plot purposes, why select a Catholic clergyman? Bottom line: It's no fun to read a book when you have to wonder whether the next page will bring a new attack to your faith and your church. This writing reflects religious bigotry of which the authors should be rightfully ashamed.

Summary: Dramatic Audio Version
Review: These are terrific CD's! I just want to note that most of the reviews here are dealing with the books or the books on tape (one voice reading the book). These CD's are actually live action dramatic versions, actors for each character, music, sound effects, etc. Like old time radio but with a blockbuster sound.

Summary: The why's of World Mission explained but stop the whining.
Review: This production lags in no way behind the first of the series but the 4 CD set starts to annoy me in some ways. Is it me, or is Chloe really developing in a more childish direction. While the book portrays her as a mature, though young, woman set to a task considered impossible, she appears whining all through the CD's. I'm also slightly annoyed by what the books describe as a perfect English-speaking Nicolae Carpathia - the Antichrist - while he continues, and perhaps further develops, a fake Eastern European accent, which in no way is helped by gloomy soundbites of his speeches (no politician would ever get elected sounding like this). Loose the whining and the accent, and the characters are all perfect. Both the book and the CD propose a stunning theory. While one may have wondered how 144.000 Jews will come out of Israel as witnesses in the end days, this title turns the problem around. They do not come out of Israel, but from the world to Israel. Stunning. Maybe this explains why so many Jews still live abroad while the Bible clearly speaks about their returning to Israel in vast numbers (though no contradiction). They don't have to learn the languages to become missionaries, they already speak them. And, being influenced not only by the Jewish and secular cultures in Israel, they would also be well equipped to interact with foreign cultures, thus explaining the vast growth of believers worldwide in this book (and the follow-ups). But whining aside, "Sign me up for all the CD's," as said in the review of the first CD book.

Summary: It is an excellent book.And makes you face reality.
Review: Tribulation Force must be read along with the rest of the series. It really puts life into perspective for a person, and makes them look at their relationship with God and others. The nice thing about these books is that you can pass them along to people, especially people who don't already have the Holy Spirit in their hearts and through reading they realize that what they need to do. To get God back into their hearts and lives. Because the reading isn't hard, and it is an interesting story that keeps you sitting on the edge of your seat.

Summary: Captivating!
Review: You're going to absolutely love listening to this CD. The production quality is superb: the sounds, the acting, & the drama all make this a CD worth listening to--one that will have you on the edge of your seat, & you won't want to stop until you get to the very end. It's kind of like listening to the old-time radio-style programs. This one had me & my husband absolutely spellbound! I don't want to get any more specific than that because I don't want to give away any of the plot, the characters, or any of the exciting parts. In short, I don't want to ruin the experience for you if you are considering purchasing this. I promise, you won't be disappointed, worth every dime, & I am definitely going to buy the new one out called "The Indwelling". Very enjoyable entertainment, something that would be great to listen to in a group setting, & then have discussion afterwards.
