Summary: From a devout Christian's perspective... incredible!
Review: ...As many young Christians are at my age, I love reading about the End Times and the Rapture. This novel was an ingenious idea, taking Biblical truth and making it mold into a realistic storyline. You must understand, however, that for the last 2000 years we have STILL been trying to understand Revelations. You can't take the "7 year Tribulation period" or other details like that (the time frame) to be exact. I would recommend studying and praying to discover what you really believe is the truth.Personally, I believe that this book is very accurate. However, in a fiction standpoint, this book is very entertaining with an excellent ending that makes to want to dive into the rest of the series. I couldn't put this book down, spending hours at a time reading it. If you are ALREADY a Christian, I think this book would suit you more than if you were not. It does explain everything so that you aren't left in the dark, but I think it is more enjoyable when you are already interested in the topic. Of course, I wouldn't know the actual perspectice of a non-Christian because I myself am already one. The only downside I found in the book was the introduction of many minor characters. I felt like maybe I should have written them down to remeber what role they played in the story when they would mention him/her later in the novel, but he/she would usually be moderately obvious with who they were. In other words.... I very much recommend this book. An excellent read fiction-wise, and very informative with it's Christian standpoints. I hope you enjoy this like I have.

Summary: Good Horror Novel
Review: I am an atheist and believe religion is used by mankind as a control device. This series proves my point. I do find the book as a decent horror novel (not Stephen King good). With the seven years of [horror] on earth to come it may prove to be a good series...

Summary: Praise His name!
Review: Finally, a book series that highlights God's glorious wrath! This takes off from the Bible's detailed narration on just what creatively cruel and horrific tortures God has in plan for those who refuse to love Him, and develops it into a best selling series that any liberal Christian(sinner) can consume! I seriously hope LaHaye writes a series for younger children, because the sooner you install guilt and fear into them the better the Christian they will turn out to be! Praise Jesus!

Summary: So so...
Review: I am not crazy about this series. The writing style is mediocre, and I felt no sense of the Holy in reading it. It gives a limited view of the Last Days, a view which is not shared by all religious scholars. However, with that said, I think this book and the whole series can be useful in understanding many of the symbols used by St. John when he wrote Revelation. It can be useful in getting people interested in reading the Bible. Readers should not think, though, that this series completely explains Revelation. It is, rather, a story of how some of the prophesies may one day come to pass.

Summary: Entertaining, but insulting
Review: I really enjoy fiction about the apocalypse. The idea of massive supernatural events fascinates me even if I don't really believe it. So I was intrigued by this series, and looked forward to reading it. The plot was definitely entertaining, even if it read like a dumbed-down Michael Crichton book. However, the authors' portrayal of any non-fundamentalist Christian is cliched and insulting. Apparently the Pope was taken in the rapture only because he was moving the Catholic church toward a more fundamentalist theology, but as far as I can tell no other Catholics are taken. Jews are portrayed as stereotypes (one Jewish character is constantly asking others to pick up the tab), and so on. And don't even get me started on the absolutely horrible romantic subplots!! (Those who have read as far as the cookie-eating part will know what I mean.) Overall, entertaining, and I'll keep reading the series since a family member is buying them and I can just borrow them for free, but at the same time, I keep wishing I could talk to the authors and ask them if their religious views are really as ignorant and limited as they appear to be.

Summary: A very good book
Review: This is a great book. It would have been better if they left out the rapture. It will get you thinking about your values in life. But please who would believe that people will just dissapear off the planet. Not me and you shouldn't either. Other than the rapture I believe that most of the book follows the Bible pretty well.

Summary: Wow, the end begins...
Review: I thought this book was wonderful!!! It had me hooked as I read. It had humor, romance and the sci-fi to make a great book. I loved how the book seemed to resolve at the end with book, yet it left you craving more. The author uses Rayford's and Buck's point of view well. This is an exciting adventure that will help you get even more excited about God.

Summary: Best Christian Fiction
Review: As the series (this far) seems to constitute a whole, and since the good and bad points are consistant with each, I'll simply put my entire series review here. I thoroughly enjoyed the series, although I do not hold the views of the authors. The plot moves forward at a quickening pace (although books 1 and 7 are excrutiating slow reads); the suspense sections are page-turners, and [the series] challenges in many places. The only problem I really found is one linked with the purpose of the book - conversion. It seemed like every time something happened, someone had to spend (what seemed like) several paragraphs remembering what it was like before he/she was saved. These sections only challenged me to scream "Get over it, and get on with the plot!" With that exception, though, I felt it the most entertaining Christian series I've ever read. Definately a must-read for everyone.
