Summary: Good book
Review: This is a good book with a very important message. It's clean entertainment. Its different and not like every other novel. If you like the Left Behind series you will love Apocalypse South by Kyle Watson here on Amazon.com.The biggest difference is it has a ending.

Summary: Left Behind
Review: I was sad to see at least one reviewer that didn't think this book was worthy. I read it and if anyone has ever tried to understand Revelations, they must read these books. It is fiction, and you understand that, however, it helps to understand what will be taking place and how you must be ready because you never know when that time will be. No one knows, when the rapture will take place, because of that all must be prepared. It does preach at you, but the books does it in a way that makes you believe that there is hope even if you are left behind. I have read three books of the series and can't wait to read all of them, plus now I am anxious to read the books about where we are in the end times. These books have helped me to understand more about a lot of the things that are to take place in the "end times." E.g., the 144,000. I am most anxious also now to read and hopefully understand more about the book of Revelations and the book of Daniel. I have enjoyed the books thoroughly.

Summary: What? Do I look THAT stupid?
Review: Without a doubt, this is the silliest, and most ill-written piece of pulp I've ever wasted my money on. The writers, LaHaye and Jenkins, make the mistake of treating the reader as if he were an idiot; the characters are paper-doll-thin and the writing itself doesn't hold together. Duh, is this right wing, Christian fundamentalist literature, or what? The major characteristic by which the authors signify that the antichrist in the book is the antichrist is the fact that he favors disarmament. Give me a break, you gun-toting, holier than thou, so-called Christians. Please don't try to pass this one off as serious fiction. Blechh!

Summary: Not Great Literature
Review: This book is preaching disguised as a suspense novel. As many other reviewers noted,it is poorly written,especially when it comes to dialog. As evidenced by the lack of editorial reviews, it seems not to have been reviewed as a work of literature. It doesn't leave room for addressing any religious beliefs other than Christianity - in fact, other religions are not even discussed in the book. I assume many in India, for example, are left behind, and their only option according to the authors would be to convert from their long-held religious beliefs to Christianity. In short, I wouldn't recommend it.

Summary: Truely super and inspiring!
Review: While reading this book I was doubtful at first. The term "christian fiction" put me off it almost at once, but I decided to lay judgment aside and read it as objectively as possible. Almost immediately I as swept off my feet by this book. It touched me deeply and there were several moments in which I almost came to tears. Some of the details were so horrific yet it all added to the drama. I was impressed. I admit, the only down side to the book is that it preaches to you, quite a lot, but it also has seriously got me thinking about the future. As i read in another review, these authors have really done their homework. I recommend this book for readers from 14 and older. I loved it. I am extremely interested in reading the rest of the series, and when I do, i hope that J&L have kept up their excellent work.Congratulations J&L on an excellent book.

Summary: A good introduction to a FANTASTIC series
Review: I was shocked to see that a few people had rated this book so low, but then I read that they hadn't gotten beyond the first book. Anyone who stuck with Star Trek: The Next Generation could tell you that sometimes the best series start off a little slow. I personally read the book in less than a day, which is rare for me. I didn't start reading until The Indwelling was already out and blew through all seven books in only about 20 days. It was a startling eye-opener for a rather back-slidden Christian who has since made a rededication of his life to Christ. If you find the first book a little slow, move on to the second right away. You won't regret it!

Summary: Sharing the Faith
Review: I haven't always considered myself to be a Religous person. My Mother sent me this book and I am so happy she did. I have now bought the entire series and look forward to reading it as well as my Bible. I am not going to be left behind. I intend to start living the life God wants me to. I don't want to have to endure the wrath of the antichrist. I will be safe in the faith with God and I will know enternal happiness! Thank you for helping me see the light!

Summary: The problem of the end
Review: The book was very interesting because Rayford's wife was always interested in christian stuff and is all into things that involve Jesus. This book centers on those that are "Left Behind" on earth. It shows the chaos that emerges as millions of people disappear, how people try to figure out what happened, how some re-find their fate in God, and how the Anti-Christ emerges. It's a well structured, swift paced book that focusses on world events as well as on personal experiences of people. I could not put it down, even though I wanted to. The downside of the book is that it still will be felt by the non-believer,that the authors are hoping to persuade people to their Shristian believes. That spoils some of the uncomplicated fun of reading this.

Summary: Just finished 1 and 2 of the series
Review: I just finished the first two books of this series after having my Amazon reccomendation center reccomend them and seeing them on the best seller list. I am not particularly "Christian" and as engaging as these books can be, they do come off at times as preachy. The story line is interesting, but the writing is not all that great and the preachy-ness is off putting at times. I am still trying to debate whether I finish this series. I would say that there are better books on the market right now to spend your time on. Don't get sucked in.
