Summary: How to open the door to understanding of the word of God?
Review: The Bible, being the word of God delivered to man in order to guide him to salvation is difficult to read and even more difficult if you take passages out of context. The "Left Behind" series opens the door to understanding! It gives us the basics of what scripture is meant to impart to the true student. In Nocolae, we find how "Revelation" is interpreted in a literal manner. I find myself taking the "guidance" offered between the lines in this and all the series to begin again my study of Gods word and salvation. If you can't wait for the next book, go to the oldest published book of all (the Bible). Take it as a literal work and open your heart to the truth. You won't be dissapointed! The Authors have done a terrific job of mixing a fictional account with God's word.

Summary: I found the third novel "Nicolae" to be a disappointment.
Review: The main problem I had with "Nicolae" was that for the anti-christ, he was not very mean, or treacherous. I know some people who make this character seem like "Mickey Mouse". When the believers are persecuted, it's got to be really BAD. In America we have been blessed, and most individuals have not had to face heavy persecution. Perhaps this is why this novel is deficient in relation to persecution during the tribulation. Make it rougher- the anitchrist is supposed to "wear out" the saints of God. Inspite of my feelings about Nicolae, I am looking forward to reading Soul Harvest.

Summary: Interesting idea, poorly executed
Review: While it is an interesting idea to write a novel in which people undergo the protestant conception of the "end-times," this book is remarkably poorly written and contains a ridiculous plot. The characters complain about persecution of Christians, yet continue to be employed in the highest levels of government, one using the Antichrists' own magazine to publish articles accusing the world leader of being the devil incarnate. Another, who is the Beast's own personal pilot, berates his sinful nature after >gasp< cursing when he can't contact his wife after the city she is in has been nuked, with one of AC's special non-radioactive nukes. The dialogue is laughable, and on the whole the project is of an extremely low quality.

Summary: Big Brother has NOTHING on Nicolae.
Review: The series keeps getting better and better. At first I was a little surprised that in the midst of all the turmoil, insight to future political issues weren't discussed in the previous two (abortion, homosexuality, etc) but the authors touched on it here. And though Rayford's dialogue on abortion made me cringe, Chole's more than made up for it. I am also impressed by the character development that continues, but would really like to see more of what may be going on in Nicolae's head throughout all of this, and a little more of Hattie as well. All in all, this is a great work and I am so looking forward to the next in the series.

Summary: One more down and just one to go.
Review: I throughly enjoyed reading this third book of the series, and am on my way to purchasing the next. Bravo to the authors.

Rating:
Summary: Very encouraging!
Review: OK! I dont care what anyone else says negative about it! I'm 16 and a full fledged christan filled with the holy spirit and not afraid to say so. It is a very boosting series and encourage the authors to keep up the good work. GOD BLESS!

Summary: Excellent!!! I could not put it down...
Review: I never was much at reading the Bible, much less revelations, but after reading these books, I understand it so much better. It really shook me up. I have become a Christian just recently.

Rating:
Summary: Best of the first three! Gotta get number four!
Review: The writing style improves dramatically in this third book, and it all seems just a little too familiar, don't you think?

Rating:
Summary: 'NICOLAE' is very infromative of what we will experience....
Review: It's the third book of the series of books on 'Left Behind'. It informs us of who and what the Anti- christ is and when he will come. We will learn to recognize him when he comes if we are still here then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
