Left Behind (Left Behind #1)

Rating:
Summary: It will keep you at the edge of your seat asking for more
Review: For those out there who claim to know "something" about the Bible I say not only Left Behind is a must read book, the entire series (Left Behind, Tribulation Force, Nicolae: Rise of Antichrist, Soul Harvest) is a must have for your collection. With the soon to be released 5th book Apollyon it can only get better.

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: I ordered the first two books of this series from Billy Graham's Grason books in paperback. I read them so fast, and enjoyed them so much, I came immediately to Amazon.com and ordered these books in hardback! I am now looking forward to reading the other three books in this series. Also, these books read so well, I am having my non-believer friends read Left Behind to explain the way things will be. I am praying they will ask for the next book in the series!

Summary: Life changing writing at its best.
Review: As a pastor, I felt compelled to share this book with my congregation. God is using the book in my own life to wake up to the realities of the rapture and become more devoted to preparing people not to be left behind. God has touched my heart deeply and I feel a sense of urgency about my calling agian. I will recomend this book to all my seminary pals and to every congregation I speak to. It is time the church woke up! I thank God for blessing my life through the future fiction. Fiction in character but fact in scripture. Thank you Tim and Jerry.

Summary: For those who believe, those who don't and everyone else.
Review: This book although fiction is an excellent way to get through to someone the true meaning and power of GOD! It is very well written, easy to read and most important it is factual about the references made to what the Bible says concerning the rapture. If you are a believer it will enhance your faith, if your not it will change your mind and if your not sure it will make you think... HARD! Excellent !!

Summary: Hair raising world view; Biblically incorrect salvation!
Review: Jenkins portrays a world shocked by the disappearance of raptured Christians and then left to unchecked demonic influences. In creating a realization that missing the rapture is a real bad thing to do he also raises the false impression that those who heard the truth of the gospel before the rapture can, somehow, obtain salvation after the rapture. He is in direct contradiction with the Bible in that God himself says He will send a strong delusion on those who believed not the truth. In fact, God says that those who hear and do not believe will be deluded to the point that they will be damned for their unbelief. Hardly what Mr. Steele and others in this novel experience during the initial days of the post rapture world. Mr. Jenkin's "confess and bless" and "believe and receive" mode of salvation can be ranked on the same par as the deceptiveness of Mr. Nicholi. Five stars for the validity of the rapture and the post-rapture chaos. No stars for missing the pre-rapture and post-rapture Bible based plans of salvation. Overall: two stars.

Summary: Definitley made me rethink how I live my life!
Review: From the moment I heard about this book I knew I had to read it and I was not disappointed. It was a great way to make me think about the end, which I think is coming soon, and at the same time become more interested in reading the Bible. I felt like I knew the characters my whole life and I could relate to every question and situtation they faced, like I was right there. I espically liked the examples that referenced directly to the Bible and how we should live our lives as Christians. For example when Bruce Barnes explained his story and the videotape of the former pastor, I think these were some of the most powerful passages in the book. There are so many powerful passages in this book that it is hard for me to pick out just one or two. It is definitley a must read for anyone interested in the Rapture and would like to turn their lives around.

Rating:
Summary: Exciting story and helps to understand Revelations.
Review: I loved this book! I am now on #4 of the series. It is such an interesting story. Not do you only learn a lot about the Rapture, Tribulation and Christ's return, but you get involved with the characters' lives.

Summary: The Most Unresistable Book I Have Ever Read.
Review: This was a pleasure to read. It is the only book I have ever woke up at 4:30AM to finish. I could not put it down. I bought the next two books and they are just as exciting. The characters and situations are just amazing. The most wonderful thing about the book, is that, this is possibly a chance for some to avoid being Left Behind. If you doubt this is non-fiction, study it's source. This is a book everyone will enjoy, I'm almost done with the third book, I can't wait until I finish the series. If you have a dedicated reader in the house, buy this for them, they will love you for it.

Summary: Thought provoking; makes you do a self exam.
Review: I received this book as a gift from a co-worker at Christmas. Since I had taken a few days off work I decided to read it. Once I started reading I didn't want to put the book down. I enjoyed it so much that I immediately purchased two more in the series and am eagerly awaiting the paperback versions of the next two books to come out. My teenage daughter loves the series also. She has encouraged me to read faster so she can have the next book. As a Christian, I find that this book makes me want to do more than just be a christian, I want to be a CHRISTIAN and not be LEFT BEHIND!!!
