Left Behind (Left Behind #1)

Summary: Weak writing, and very preachy
Review: This book almost makes me embarassed to be a Christian. The writing is insipid, the constant preaching is tiresome, and the characters don't even begin to be believable. The other annoying thing is their trick of printing the book with huge margins, ultra-wide spacing, and large print. This was obviously just a trick to stretch 200 pages into 500. They'd have done better to combine this one with the next one in the series and save a few trees. If you're curious about the series, check it out from the library before you waste your money!

Summary: Super!
Review: When i picked up this book I thought it would be a long boring story, boy was i in for a surprise! Not only was it the best book i have read in a long time it is full of biblical prophesy. If you are trying to find a way to decifer the book of Revelation this is a sure way to.

Summary: Fascinating!
Review: The reason this book is so fascinating is because the rapture described in this book could happen sometime in our lifetime. This book is the most intriguing book I have ever read! I would reccomend this book to anyone!

Summary: Tell all your friends!
Review: It took three friend's recommendations before I picked up Left Behind. Within two weeks I'd finished all five in the series and am anxiously awaiting number six! This is a great introduction to the book of Revelations. Read it soon, and TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS!

Summary: Inspiring testimony
Review: The earlier reviewer said it best--only The Triumph and the Glory can rival the Left Behind books for intensity, quality of theme, depth of quality, and proclamation of the ultimate truths.

Summary: FANTASTIC READING!!!!
Review: I've just finished reading both Left Behind and Tribulation Force, and all I can say is that if you don't know where you're going when you die, reading these books will make you want to make a decision about how you want to spend eternity. This series is not just for Christians - in fact, I learned about them from a co-worker who is an avid reader. After you've read Left Behind you'll want to start reading Tribulation Force. Now I'm getting ready to read the third book, Nicolae. Exciting, inspiring, and thought- provoking reading for anyone and everyone.

Summary: Excellent Interptretation of the Days To Come
Review: This book is amazing, once you pick it up it is very hard to put down, even if you don't like to read, chances are you will like this book. And don't stop with this book, the others are even better.

Summary: My analysis after three books in the set
Review: I know a good many people enjoy these Lahaye/Jenkins novelsbecause they are very biblically oriented, and that's all well andgood, I don't knock it. But as literature goes, to be honest, these books are NOT very well written. The characters are thin, artificial, the writing forced and simplistic. A far deeper and more compelling Apocalyptic novel is Glenn Kleier's THE LAST DAY. Although NOT biblically accurate in many apsects, the story is hugely suspenseful and the spiritual nature far deeper than any of the three books of this series I've read so far, APOLLYON, TRIBULATION and LEFT BEHIND. Because of this, I found THE LAST DAY considerably more fulfilling, spiritually, and certainly more thrilling from a literary perspective. If your interest is a superior story, and less the scriptural application, THE LAST DAY is a more rewarding read.

Summary: A book that will open your eyes, and heart to God.
Review: I have always wanted to know more about the Rapture. So on the advice of several trusted indivuduals, I picked up a copy of Left Behind. WOW! This is one heavy book. It was one of the most well-written books I have ever had the pleasure to read. It not only quotes scripture, but references it so that readers can go to the Bible later and see it for themselves. It reads like any other mystery, but with a more profound message at it's heart. I recommend it to the most devout Christian down to the newest seeker. It will answer just as many questions as it will pose in your mind and heart. I just started the second book in the series yesterday, and am already one third through it. I plan to read them all and so should you!

Summary: TWO GREAT BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: A friend recommended two books for me to read. 'Left Behind' by Tim LaHaye, and 'The Fist of God' by A.T. Nicholas. Both novels were great! The rapture theme was spellbinding and fascinating in Left Behind. The opening chapter was cool. 'The Fist of God' was a phenomenal 'good vs evil' plot. I would highly recommend both of this books. Thank you, Amazon for getting them to me so quickly.
