Left Behind (Left Behind #1)

Rating:
Summary: Interesting subject matter
Review: This book is for all those who go to church and believe the bible yet don't think about the prophecies in Revelations being fulfilled in their life time. This book shows how a charismatic, evil leader could rise to power and play everyone around them like puppets on a string. I particularly loved the part in which the rising anti-christ is chosen as "Sexiest Man Alive" by People magazine. While you may have some reservations in believing how the "last days" will play out, this book will give you food for thought and show you that the Bible doesn't just talk about occurrances more than 2,000 years ago. It talks about things that are yet to come.

Summary: Compelling Literature!
Review: Wow! Though I have read hundreds of books, there are only a few that have affected me the way Left Behind has. Only The Mark of the Lion series, by Francine Rivers, has touched me as deeply as Left Behind was able to do. Both Left Behind and The Mark of the Lion series caused me to examine my own christian walk and strive to be more like Jesus. My only complaint is a small lack of character development, but all other aspects of the book make up for this slight deficiency. I look forward to reading the other three books in the series (unfortunately, my whole family is passing around these books, and I have avery large family so there is a waiting list to read the next book, but if it's anything like the first book, it will be worth the wait!).

Summary: Should be a number 1 seller. Everyone must read this book
Review: This book was one of the better novel I have read in many years. It made me begin to think twice in the way that I was living and allowed me to motivate myself again in christ. It will even make you change your ways in the way you may treat or judge other people. No one knows the day or the hour, so all true beleivers must be prepared for his arrival or for the consquences we may face by not living God's word to the fullest.

Summary: Great book! Highly recommend it to anyone!
Review: This is a wonderful book for anyone who enjoys a thrilling, keep you on the end of your seat novel, that is based on Biblical prophecy as well.Those who have studied the Bible and those who have not will both love this series as it really gets you involved into the lives of each of the characters as they face this catastrophic time.The first three books in the series were a quick read because you don't want to put them down! I am really looking forward to reading the next ones as well.

Summary: 2 timothy 3:16
Review: I think the book was God sent to me. My pastor is spending several weeks on Revelations and this book was very timely. It was easy reading and not being an avid reader I enjoyed how it flowed so easily. I didn't look at it as a book designed to convert non Christians but rather a novel based on biblical fact to help Christians embrace their faith that much more.

Summary: Hopeful that no one gets left behind
Review: I've read other books of the genre of Left Behind such as This Present Darkness by Frank Peretti the consumate Christian novelest.However Left Behind is a book like none before it.It actually puts you in the middle of the rapture.This book could be a very effective witnessing tool.Which I'm sure this is what the authors main intent was all along.Having read all 4 novels I can hardly wait for the fifth! Thanx Guys! May God Bless!!

Summary: WOW! This book was like nothing I have ever read!!!
Review: I have never seen such imagination before, this book left me on the edge of my seat. I could't wait to get to the next novel...I hope and pray that a movie producer will read this book and put all the novels on film, and talk about some serious mind boggling imagination to say the least. Once I started the read this book I could't stop the characters were so real to me, the seens so detailed that I felt like I was right there in every seen...amazing....I want to see this book and its sequals in the movies so bad that if someone doesn't make the movies I will send a copy to ever movie producer I can get an address for and let them see for themselves that this is no ordinary novel...there is there is nothing ordinary about it...

Summary: Life Changing
Review: This is the most Life changing book I have ever read. I can no longer sit on the fence with my beliefs, but must choose whom I will serve. I am the mother of 4 kids (10 & under) and finished this book in 3 days--I couldn't put it down! Can't wait to read the other 3 books.

Summary: This one's a life-changer
Review: OK, any non-Christian who reads these books and still isn't a Christian...e-mail me and we'll talk. **** P.S. I thank God for these authors because they make a sometimes hard to understand period of the Bible exciting and easy to understand. †I'm praying for ya

Summary: A book you'll think about for a while!
Review: Many of the members of our Bible school class have read "Left Behind" and the other books in this series. It came highly recommended. The book started off very intense, but then it kind of lagged until toward the end when the intensity again built up. For a while, I kept waiting for something to happen and became a little impatient. But the end really built back up. I was somewhat disappointed that the end (?) was really not an end at all, but a direct lead in to the next book. These books are definitely not "stand alone." You have no choice but to go on and read the next. Not that I'll mind...they are well written and really turn your mind to eternity, which we all need spend more time contemplating. I used to not be able to imagine the events described in this book as really happening, but I think God is using Jenkins & LaHaye to show people that our times do provide the environment that all the strange things that we've been told wil! l happen, can very logically happen in this world. Are we ready?
