Summary: GIVE THIS ONE A CHANCE! GREAT READ!
Review: I was completely floored by this book. Great writing, and very fast paced. Not a boring part in the book! Some consider these books to be nothing more than preaching about God, Christ, and what will happen to everyone who refuses to believe, but there is a very gripping story there. Just remember it is fiction, and meant to educate AND entertain. The characters are well thought out and believeable in their actions and dialogue, and you'll be running out to buy the rest of the series before you even finish this one. DON'T PASS THIS ONE UP!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This book is poorly written
Review: I am a christian and I was prepared to cut this book some slack because I believe in the message, but I found it too pourly written to refer this book. The writing is equal to a c- high school composition by a below average student. I hope someday a better writer takes on the challenge to do a book based on the rapture.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Effect of the books...
Review: A Christian book must be judged by its fruit, and the fruit of "Left Behind" is the conversion of many souls to Christ. For this reason alone, it is worth every star that it can be given. While the book might be disappointing literarily, the intent of the authors is not to make an impact on the world of literature so much as it is to make an impact on the world for Christ. Left Behind is a great witnessing tool. Like "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis or "Castle of Wisdom" by Rhett Ellis (which should be required reading for all Christians), "Left Behind" brings people to faith in Christ.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Good "End-Times" Book for Christians
Review: The idea of the book is great, though done before. The way this book is written though, basically, chronicals the events that take place in the "end-times" as described in the Bible.

The book revolves around some central characters. They all are involved with the church in one way or another. Eventually you see most of them "converted" into Christians. As they are they feel that their "mission" is to convert others. There also is some romantic "tension" thrown into the mix. The characters aren't all developed too well but I still felt a connection with them.

I enjoyed this book and think that many others will too. Although this book, I feel, was written mainly for Christians. There is no subtlety in the message. Everything is taken almost verbatim from the Bible. It doesn't give you a lot of "food for thought". For that I recommend James BeauSeigneur's "The Christ Clone Trilogy". "Left Behind" is pretty straight forward and a great beginning to the series. Highly recommended for Christians.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: More than just fiction.
Review: This is a very good book for Christians & non-Christians alike to read. The unfortunate drawback is that in order for you to fully understand the contents of the book, you have to have an idea of much of what is going on in the Bible, and what it says about the end times.

With that aside, Left Behind is a story of what many believe will happen with the Christians at the onset of what is known as "The Tribulation Period", and the continuing story of those who thought they were Christians.

If it only does one thing, it should make us re-examine our lives and discover which side of the Tribulation we will be on.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Indescribable
Review: No words can describe how exciting this series is. It's good clean reading, definitely fast-paced and it will have you waiting impatiently for the next book. It also makes you check your bible and your salvation.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Left Behind
Review: Wow! A book I simply could not put down. It held my attention from start to finish. I read it in only a few days. This book is a must for believers and non-believers alike. To the believer it will frighten you just enough to be sure of your convictions and redidicate your life to what you know is right. To non-believers it will inspire you to learn more and ensure you are not "left behind". A great tale about the beginning of the world's last days. What can I say...a MUST have.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Read All 8 Books in Ten Days?

Summary: Fiction, Entertainment and Theology
Review: The response to this book will depend on whether one is a believer in the Bible along with their view of Bible prophecy. This book represents a dispensational view - that is, that Jesus Christ will return, rapture or take away the believers, and a seven year "great tribulation" will follow. If this prophetic view is not plausible, then the book will not make a lot of sense other than being entertainment.

It should be noted that there are many theologians who do not agree with the dispensational view represented in the book.

There is no question that the New Testament affirms the return of Jesus Christ. The other important fact is that the New Testament also emphasize the necessity of being ready for that great event regardless of when it occurs.

I did find some of the characters rather shallow - but maybe that's ok since society seems to be the same way. I did have to laugh at the prospect of the future anti-christ (Nicolae) paying even two seconds attention to a stewardess - and equally funny that the jounalist (Buck) if he is the heavy-hitter portrayed would take the time to introduce a stewardess to Mr. Big.

Read it and enjoy it - and don't try to figure out the theology.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty Good
Review: At first,I was reluctant in reading this book since I'm not Christian and also I have some issues with so-called Christians today. Although I have not read Book of Relevations for awhile, I have to say that this book made me look at life differently. At the same time, it didn't make me change my mind about Christianity. I still question its beliefs.
