Left Behind (Left Behind #1)

Rating:
Summary: Eye-opening!!
Review: This book has REALLY changed my life! Although this book is categorized as a fictional book, it really tells of the future... of what is yet to come. I have been shaken awake by this book. I am not normally a big reader but I can't put this book down! A must read!!

Summary: It grabs you from the first word and does not let you go.
Review: My wife and I began reading this book together and have been unable to put it down. We have only stopped reading when sleeping, eating or work demanded otherwise. It is one of the most intriguing, suspenseful books I have read in years.

Summary: Why so popular?
Review: I just finished reading Left Behind and while I think the whole premise could have made a very interesting story I think this was just plain boring. I couldn't help but feel that the authors were trying to justify why certain religious groups feel the need to knock on strangers' doors and try to preach to them. I also felt that there might have been a touch of anti-semitism in this book and even though I'm a Catholic, I couldn't help feeling a little annoyed at this sentiment. In conclusion, this could have been an excellent book, but maybe it needs to cut down on the preaching and delve a little more into character development.

Summary: Fascinating extrapolation of End Time events!
Review: As a new Christian, I was given this book to read, and I must admit it was difficult for me to get started and get into it. However, having just finished it, I highly recommend it to everyone who might consider themselves a Christian. The way that the authors take the events of Revelation and the end times and weave them into a completely believable and very frightening picture of just what it might be like is awesome. One of the things I have struggled with when reading the Bible is the fact that it all is based on the lifestyle of the time it was written, so I have found this work a spectacular read, and very provocative. Read this book.

Summary: Excellent
Review: A novel that combines Biblical prophecy with a great story line -- very entertaining as well as educational. Definitely provides food for thought.

Rating:
Summary: Pretty fair reading. Though slanted to one viewpoint.
Review: I thought the relationships were a little simple minded but it was still readable. I liked Steiger's new end times 'Alien Rapture' which fits my own personal beliefs. Pick a view point and you can find a book on it on amazon.com. This is a pretty good book.

Summary: A must-read, excellent, a page turner
Review: The story grabs you from the very beginning and does not let go. The characters are real, their situation believable. It has been years since I have been so engrossed in a series of books that I have four in one week. Highly recommend Left Behind as well as the other three books to follow. It is masterful and most thought provoking .. a must read for all believers and non-believers.

Summary: This book gives the reader not only a suspenseful story
Review: This book gives the reader not only a suspensful story but a message that cannot be ignored. I read the first three books in a matter of days. I couldn't stop thinking about the message it gave and if I were prepared should Jesus Rapture His people in the next second. While not a "Born again Christian", I am a Christian and felt that this book was a very refreshing change from the most other books on the best seller list selling nothing but murder and sex with nothing else to offer.

Rating:
Summary: This is a good book!
Review: If you have ever wondered what it could be like at the end of the world, this is a great example. It has action, drama, and comedy. The characters are very believable. If you are a Christian, this book is a great example of how we will be taken home. Overall this book should be THE best seller of the year. -Grant Grissom

Summary: True to the bone. God guided. Will miss it when it's over.
Review: Knowing the Lord and believing that there is a begining and an end to everything. Mr. LaHaye and Mr. Jenkens have touched on a story that I believe is in contrast with the Bibles prophecies. They put the end times in a realistic and practical point of view. How can anyone read this and not see it's discription of how the world is and could be. Anyone who reads this wonderful story would have to at least wonder more about God and His word (The Bible). Thank you Mr. LaHaye and Mr. Jenkens for a great read and thank you Amazon for the opportunity to comment.
