Rating: Summary: LIFE CHANGING RENEWAL OF FAITH Review: ******************************************* "Left Behind" is a life changing literature for a Christian. Jenkins and Lahaye innovatively take a possible real life situation and incorporate the Bible in a way that can only renew spirituality. Their knowledge of the Bible entangled with thoughts of mysticism bring enlightenment. To all that enjoy reading, this would be a blessing to read. For anyone that has a lost member in their family, this is the book to send them. "Left Behind" has the possibility of touching millions through Christ.
Rating: Summary: RRRIIIVVVEEETTTIIINNNGGG!!! Review: Praise God for the HOPE we have in Him through these books! May the eyes of COUNTLESS be won to HIM through this series!
Rating: Summary: A WONDERFUL BOOK!!!!!! Review: I am 13 years old but I find these books to be wonderful! My family and I have red all of the books 2or3 times and each time we find something that we missed the 1st time around! I have red the Kids Left Behind books and they are also wonderful but each time I seem to come back to where it all started Left Behind! A must read along with all of the other books in the series!
Rating: Summary: The series is very thought provoking. Review: For a fiction series, it accurately follows scriptural reference to what could happen during the tribulation period. It is fun and exciting and keeps your attention all the way through. I am anxiously waiting for the next book to come out. This series is extremely thought provoking. It made me want to analyze my own life to make sure I was on track heading toward the mark. Read and enjoy!
Rating: Summary: Once you get over the hump, it's a great book Review: I was enthralled by "Left Behind"'s premise and found it to be an overall excellent book--for people that don't mind a middle section that seems to drag on into oblivion. It isn't entirely biblically correct, but it is still very Christian and won't offend anybody. Technically wonderful, but too boring. I hope that the authors clean this up in the continuations because if they do they'll have potential for an awesome series of books.
Rating: Summary: Theologically Heavy-Handed Thriller Review: I discovered "Left Behind" in a book store and later purchased it, intrigued by the concept. I though it might be in the line of Stephen King's "The Stand" or the Gregory Widen film "The Prophecy"; using christianity as a mythology to add a structure to the story. As an agnostic, I enjoyed the good vs. evil plot line as well as how the various characters came together at the end. However, I found some on the plot to be thinly guised, heavy handed advertising for LaHaye and Jenkin's beleifs. If you can get past this, you'll probably enjoy the novel.
Rating: Summary: A great book that will make you wonder... Review: I'd recommend this book to everyone. The book is written as a piece of fiction and should be taken that way. It is not entirely biblically correct, but it will seriously make you question your own personal walk with God. It's a great book for believers and non-believers alike and is a quick read. It will make you want to run out and buy the next book in the series!
Rating: Summary: Great book, a must read Review: Left Behind is a book about the rapture of Christ's church. Allot of research was put into it by the authors. A must read.
Rating: Summary: BE READY THE FIRST TIME!!!! Review: All I can say to people who don't understand Revolations, is they have got to read these books. If they don't know Jesus they had better read these books and their Bible!!! I am not much of a reader. In fact I HATE to read! But I have read the first two books in one week and I am getting ready to start the third. Very interesting reading and the scriptures from the Bible are very understandable.
Rating: Summary: Great premise, mediocre writing Review: This book was mailed to me by an anonymous friend who I'm sure felt I needed it and also knew I enjoyed to read constantly. I found the premise to be interesting and it kept my interest through to the end. Conspiracy always makes a good thriller and these gentlemen have done a good job of putting together a "page turner."I did find the writing to be of "mass" level and the characters to be shallow. I am going to buy the next book in the series but somehow I get the feeling that this is a series in the "pulp novel" vein that is designed to keep you on the edge and sell more books.
