Rating: Summary: Positively Truthful and Marvelous Review: Whatever anyone says, these authors did not make these books for the sake of money. It is not just some great "science fiction" series that has good dialogue and some nice adjectives as well. I disagree with people who think like that; the Rapture is a subject which many have found frightening. These authors had the guts to bring it to the surface, and show it in some awesome, absolutely riveting books. I'm waiting for the next ones to come in August. I can hardly wait! Christ is the best, and I have SO much joy in my life from Him. If you don't know Him, read these books. If you open your heart and mind, you will find that you really want a life in Him!
Rating: Summary: one of the best books i've ever read. Review: I have read several books dealing with faith, both fictional and non-fiction. This is easily one of the top three. I have a business partner who is well learned in the Bible, and his quotes were (with the exception of the characters) right in line with what I read. I also checked in Revelations to verify the content, and have not been able to find any errors. The author does a brilliant job of describing the feelings of the characters, as well as the scenery. You can really "see" what is happening. I could not put it down, and had to order the second in the series, immediately. Great read.
Rating: Summary: WOW, Absolutely WOW! Review: I am fifteen years old, and I have read all five of the books in this series, along with the children's series! I read each one faster and faster!! Once I pick them up I just cannot put them down. Most Christian novels aren't very exciting, or realistic. These are diffinatey both of those!! When a new one comes out, my mom and I FIGHT over who gets to read it first, and we steal it from each other if we happen to put it down for five minutes!
Rating: Summary: Excellent!! Could not put this book down! Review: We lost our 16 1/2 year old daughter in a tragic car accident November... 1998 and sometimes I felt that all of our Christian upbringing was a waste. After reading the 1st Book in this series, Left Behind, I wished I would've been even more so with her in some areas. This book is enormous in bringing home the truth there is a heaven and hell, especially if one has any spiritual insight in them at all. Ones who don't will do as some in the book, be aloof to the true meaning of spiritual life and death. The other part I thought was very thought provoking was that "all the children were taken.." I couldn't put this book down. I even took it to work with me and read it any spare time I had :-) I love a book that I can feel I am with those characters, and this had that affect on me. Teri
Rating: Summary: If you never read fiction... READ THIS ONE ANYWAY!! Review: I'm a "scientific type", and I hate to "waste my time" reading fiction. But, this book is an exception. EVERYONE SHOULD READ IT. If you are a born-again Christian, you will know (via the Holy Spirit) that this is all true. It matches the Bible perfectly. If you are not "born again", and if frankly, the term "born again" bugs you, then reading this book will give you a chance to see what being a _real_ Christian is all about. The book shows both those who believe the Bible, and those that don't so it is very well balanced. PLEASE READ IT! Your eternal destiny hangs on what you could learn from this book.
Rating: Summary: Spiritually Challenging, Faith Building novel Review: This novel, and the rest of the series, have completely changed my attitudes towards the Apocalypse. I have recommended it to anyone who will listen, because I believe it will change their lives. The events in this novel are very powerful, and very true. The authors have also avoided using profanity and worldy writing, while still making the characters believable. Please read these books before you are left behind.
Rating: Summary: Fun fiction read - better than the Bible Review: Great entertaining science fiction book but lets not get carried away with this Rapture stuff. Some great lessons can be pulled from the story, but let's not take this stuff literally. I'm looking forward to reading the next sequel (as I understand there will be 11 more). The authors figured out that they could make some money off the 'biblical rapture'. I wonder if they will get 'left behind'?
Rating: Summary: The frighting truth twisted in with a great plot. Review: "Left Behind" was a really good book, the people in it were believable.The authors did a wonderful job of mixing the horror of the Rapture with the fact that there was still hope for the Latter Day Saints. The way they made me believe that Nicloea Capathia was the best thing that could happen to Earth, and then reveiled his identity as the Antichrist was amazing. The thing that I like most was that they really pushed the point that with out God there was no way anyone could survive the seven years of tribulation.
Rating: Summary: Amazing....Biblically sound...Enthralling!! Review: This is THE most enthralling novel series to be found today. The characters, though conveniently well positioned, represent the general population of our Nation...knowlegable about the Bible and it's many prophecies, but too "intelligent" to think that they are possible. This series educates the reader on these very prophecies and challenges him to evaluate his own Salvation. From the first chapter to the last, the reader is caught up in the plight of those who were left behind. An emotional and gripping read.....I finished the first 2 books in as many days...
Rating: Summary: Left Behind: A True Picture Review: This book is very special if you are of the christian faith. It gives us a reason to believe what we do. I would encourage all christians to read this book and the books that follow it in the series. Also to those who are not of the faith: please read this book and talk to some belivers about it. The research is very accurate and this does show what it will be like after Christ raptures his church. Read the book and ponder on the subjects it addresses. It is very well writen with, like I said, very detailed research. More entertaining then any other modern writer, and it contains a plot that will keep you up at night. 5 stars if not higher.
