Summary: This book puts "feet" on the Book of revelation.
Review: Once I started reading this book I could not put it down it literally had me cheering, crying and laughing like a movie normally would. It has opened my eyes to the warnings of the book of Revelation and has spring boarded my study of end time prophecy.

Summary: Really good book
Review: I know that a lot of people think that this book is trying to denounce other religions, and shove Christianity down peoples' throats. Well, if you will take the time to read this book, whether you believe or not, you will come to understand that these excellent authors aren't trying to say that certain religions are false, and sinners should repent. In fact, the two men are stating the truth. The truth about the end-times, when all the Christians will be taken up. Many will not accept the Biblical viewpoint until their Christian friends are taken up. If you don't believe me, I know that someday you will. No doubt in my mind.

Summary: Theologically flawed
Review: This book is a gripping suspense novel, the first of a popular series. Its strength is its written style and plot development. However, the entire plot development is based on a dispensationalist eschatology which is theologically flawed. The book depends on a literal interpretation of many Old Testament prophecies, whereas Scripture itself indicates that many of these prophecies are to be understood spiritually. "Israel" designates the New Testament church (Gal 6:16; Heb 8:10), and the "Jerusalem" of prophecy also is fulfilled in spiritual sense, as is clear from Gal 4:24 and Heb 12:22. When one understands that the book's theology is fundamentally flawed, one can not but realize that the book has a serious weakness. Unfortunately, when the book is stripped of its flawed theology, nothing remains, for it is this theology which forms the plot. If you are not an adherent of dispensationalist eschatology, I would strongly recommend not reading this book, as it will only confuse and disappoint the reader.

Summary: The second most powerful event in my life!
Review: I didn't learn how to read until I was 26years old and now I can't stop reading but of all the books I have read this book changed my life forever. What a gift it must be to trasport someone from place to place with a simple word writen on paper. Read It!! I promise you will not want to put it down. Victoria

Summary: Be Wary
Review: Watch out. THough this is a well written piece of work, don't let the rest of this series fool you. With each book, the story gets weaker and the writing gets worse. Such a shame.

Summary: ONE CANNOT READ THIS BOOK WITHOUT BECOMING A CHARACTER
Review: THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BIBLICALLY ACCURATE BOOKS I'VE EVER READ. THE GREATNESS OF THIS BOOK FOR CHRISTIANS IS ALSO THE TRAGEDY FOR NON CHRISTIANS. IF A FEAR OF THE LORD IS ALL A NON CHRISTIAN GETS FROM THIS BOOK, THEN MR. LAHAYE AND JENKINS HAVE DONE A GREAT SERVICE TO THE LORD.

Rating:
Summary: Great book for those who like possible real life scenarios.
Review: I started this book as a christian by name, but not very much by practice. After reading this book, not only was I desperate to read the rest of them (And still am!) but I instantly decided that I'd better get my act together. This is an excellent book, for christian and non christian alike. I think this would convert way more people than door to door representatives.

Summary: Definently a life changer!
Review: I'm 14 years old and decided to read this book for extra credit in school. This book really got me excited about God. I feel compelled to tell everyone I know about the Rapture and how close it really is. This week I'm giving an oral report at my school about this book! I can't wait to read Tribulation Force!
