Summary: The Greates Thriller Next to Left Behind
Review: This story is about a man, Paul Stepola, during the year 63 P.3.(post-world war 3). It starts out with Paul as an NPO(National Peace Organization) agent, helping to rid of the religious, and he does a very good job at it. Until, a sudden miracle has unblinded him. He then has to help his religious friends from getting caught, and understand the events that don't make sence that occur around him.I really liked the use of words, and text, because i just couldn't put this book down as I read. Also, I would recommend this to everybody, but those who aren't into their religion, but especially give this to christians. It is also for people who like a lot of suspense, and those who believe in prophecies....

Summary: I though "Soon" was poorly written.
Review: This was my first Jerry Jenkins book. Not enough diversity in the characters, everyone sounded the same. A somewhat interesting plot, but too religious for my taste. I might recommend it to some of my religious fanatic friends. :)

Summary: Just Waiting for the next one....
Review: Well much like the VERY FAMOUS Left Behind Series - this book is full of twists and turns and leaves you on the edge of the cliff at the end. What happened to everyone is the question. There are certain things that can be predicted, I will give you that but if you've read the Left Behind Series you know that certain things from those novels could be predicted. I really enjoyed this book and will buy the next in this new series.

Summary: Jerry Jenkins at his best
Review: What a great book! It started off with action, BOOM right out the cage. I think the main character is so well described, very human, and proves that you can be both human and superhuman as he(with the grace of God) pulls off some really incredible feats. Also I like the way the United States was split, his reasoning was great! I can't wait for Silenced, already pre-ordered it!

Summary: Very Compelling book!
Review: What an incredible book! It is a pretty quick read. The book is put together very nicely. The book basically is in a setting before the rapture. If you h ave read the Left Behind Series, this takes place just before then. Jerry Jenkins has written more than 150 books! I will definitely be looking for some of his other books as well. I highly recommend this book!

Summary: Interesting premise.....
Review: When I first read the review for this in Publisher's Weekly, I immediately thought, "What an interesting premise for a end-times book." Jerry Jenkins actually does deliver on his promise. This novel is quite riveting at times and you do tend to forget that you are reading Christian fiction. I really enjoy Jenkins' books for the simple fact that he doesn't tend to be as preachy as his counterpart, Tim LaHaye. I really appreciate that. Granted, Jenkins does present scriptures and Christian theology into the story, but they are only laid out by the author, and Jenkins recognizes that his readers are smart enough to carry them forward to more study if necessary. I really appreciate that! There is nothing worse than a preachy book! I thought the premise of church-state being truly and totally separated to the point of persecution by the State if religion is even practiced was a very interesting one. Jenkins uses this premise to basically make statements about how our government is acting towards Arabs and others today. It's quite unsettling. Another good use of the non-religious premise is Jenkins' ability to show us just how much religion does effect our lives...even in small, subtle ways. Granted, Jenkins could have come up with some better names for renamed religious holidays, but still, the idea gets across. Overall, Jenkins does a good job with introducing us to a good apocolyptic thriller that could easy fill the void that will be present when the Left Behind series wraps up next March. I just hope this series doesn't get cancelled like the Omega Trilogy by Gilbert Morris once it hits the final book! Grr. Otherwise, enjoy this one...it's action packed and thought provoking.

Summary: Absolutely fantatic
Review: World War III, brought about by opposing-religious factions, left the global population vastly depleted. Mankind pulled back from the brink of the abyss when a tsunami caused by the detonation of two nuclear warheads destroyed much of Asia, Hawaii, and Southern California. Religion was internationally banned and people were forbidden to practice or preach their faith upon the penalty of death. The United Seven States of America creates the National Peace Organization to weed out religious terrorists leading to three decades of Pax. NPO Agent Paul Stepola wants all people who practice religion killed and volunteers for the Zealot Underground task force when it becomes apparent that there is a large outbreak of Christian activity surfacing. Paul sees things that he believes are the work of terrorists but which the Christians believe are God's miracles. An incident occurs that makes a believer out of him. Now he is the highest placed mole in NPO diligently working to help his fellow believers while appearing to obey the orders of NPO, but one mistake will get him killed. Jerry Jenkins delivers a stirring and exciting novel about a world afraid of war yet surprisingly the consequences are not what one would expect. Instead the secular survivors in power ban religion of any kind while the true believers, expecting the Rapture to be coming soon, fight to be heard despite the threat of death. The hero goes from one extreme to another but it is believable and readers will take him into their hearts because he honestly believes and is willing to act on that belief. SOON is a must read for anyone who follows the Left Behind series or for those readers who love futuristic thrillers. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Persecution
Review: Xtians have always fallen over themselves to tell you how very oppressed they are. The truth of the matter is the last truly persecuted xtian lived in early Rome and got thrown to the lions. Otherwise, you guys have pretty much been in charge of western civilization for the last 1500 years. So what are you complaining about? I think you've got some kind of pathological victim syndrome.
