Summary: Amazing! Made me start thinking!
Review: I picked up this book quite by accident, and have become enthralled with the whole series. I am not that familiar with the Bible, but this book (and the others) have made me think that I may want to pick up my Bible and start reading-and praying more fervently. This is fascinating reading-for believers and non-believers alike. I find myself recommending this book series to all I come in contact with, and it has become a topic of conversation in my house! I just ordered the first 3 books in the "kid" series for my 9 1/2 year old. You will not be sorry you read this book-and the others.

Summary: A Pretty Good Read
Review: I'm pretty much a Christmas and Easter only church goer so I was a little hesitant about reading any "Christian fiction." It turns out you don't have to be a zealot to enjoy this book. While set against the backdrop of the Rapture and one view of the end-times, the biblical references and descriptions are much less involved than the detailed technical descriptions favored by the likes of Clancy and Crichton. The plot isn't overly deep but is developed enough to hold your attention and reading "just one more page." My interest in the church has been intrigued by this book and I hope the rest of the series contiues to do so. All in all a pretty good read.

Summary: This is definitely a soul searching book
Review: When my cousin told me about this series of books I was at first skepitcal about it, but I purchased it and read it in 3 days. I couldn't put the book down I had to go out and buy the rest of the series. This series will make you stop and think about what the future holds and makes you stop and think about how you are living your life. The book is very well written, and puts the book of Revelation in a way that a person, Christian or not, can relate to...I have recommended this book to several friends and family members. This series has made me want to do my own research on the Bible and learn more about the end times. I've read the Bible through out my life, but going back and reading it after the series has made me pay more attention to the details that the Bible reveals to you.. This series is Awesome...

Summary: Left Behind
Review: This book is definately life changing. It really makes you think about life and what could possibly happen in the future. The day that I finished it I went to church. Not really knowing why except I was very afraid of the unknown. I haven't been to church in years but this absolutly made me believe that 'I Need Jesus'! Without being preachy or overbearing this book is a great read and I can't put it (the series) down. On to "Nicolae"!

Summary: Don't worry, this book will not disappoint you.
Review: Left Behind #1 is the best in both writing quality and plot that I have ever seen in any book or writing anywhere. It's kinda cool to read a story that might come true sometime in the near future. Please let your friends and family know about this book and let them decide if they want to read it.

Summary: A Book for Everyone
Review: This book sucked me right in and wouldn't let me go until I had finished. Jerry Jenkins wrote the book in such a way that it transitions smoothly from a drama to a suspenseful story. His writing isn't very descriptive and is very easy to read. Nevertheless, I would say that it is well written. He handles the dialogue so well that it makes the reader feel like he/she is right beside them. I found myself rooting for some characters and being disgusted by others! In the midst of suspense and mystery, there are a lot of dramatic twists and ties between the characters. I was taken into the minds of many different people, and each viewed the events happening around them differently. One of the great characteristics of Jenkin's storytelling in this is that he shows the reader again and again how people misunderstand each other. Often, one character's judgment of another is off the wall, and leads to all sorts of trouble. It's this realism that makes it so easy to fall right in stride with the characters. Seeing the world through several pairs eyes made me wonder how others saw me. And the easier it is to relate to a story, the better it is. When it comes down to it, Left Behind is about faith. Faith in others, faith in oneself, and faith in God. I recommend this book to everyone. It doesn't matter who you are. This book will in one way or another affect the way that you look at things.

Summary: GREAT BOOK!
Review: If you like to read suspensfull books that will really keep you wanting to know whats next this is perfect. It has a great plot if you are familiar with the bible. Its an easy to read book, I'm 14 and I understand it completely. Its a long series so it really has a building plot we'll say. I think its great because I've been really intruged on the combination of the biblical historian and a writer teaming up to write this masterpiece. I recomend this to any one who believes in god and anybody who likes a good book

Summary: King of the Hill, With a Good Reason
Review: Left Behind became an overnight hot seller in the Christian market (and later in the general market as popularity of the series grew), and it's easy to see why. I read the whole thing, cover to cover, on my way back from Texas, which is about an eight hour trip for me. It's one of those books you can't put down. Of course, it does take a couple of chapters to get into it, but it does hold your attention after a very short while. It's easy to understand and geared to people who don't exactally have a vast knowledge of theology in general and estachology in particular. It's not the great witnessing tool everyone first made it out to be, but it wasn't meant to be that. It's entertainment with theology thrown in. That can be dangerous because the book might be treated like what will happen, word for word, and this is fiction, after all. In summation: Read it. It's worth it.
