Summary: Left Behind series: Books 1 through 4
Review: I was given the 1st book in the series as a free gift in the store 'Books-A-Million'. I read it out of curiousity, having heard so much about being "left behind". Still curious, I bought books 2 and 3 and was given book 4. After reading the anti Catholic crap in those books, I decided to throw them away and not make the Authors any richer. I do not believe in "rapture" and think it is a very selfish theory. I don't think the author is very Christian to knock other religions. All Christians believe in one God and Jesus Christ. As long as we follow their teachings, we will see heaven. Maybe this world would be better off if we all just except our differences and love one another.

Summary: Even More Christian Garbage-Propaganda
Review: Pure unadulterated Christian propaganda to poison the already stunted minds of GOD's blind followers(or to use to initiate new recruits to the ever growing army of fools). A terrible waste of time and of creativity.

Summary: The Left Behind Series in NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
Review: I do not believe that the themes explored in the Left behind series will ever take place. God is loving, He just wouldn't do that what is described in these books. In fact I do not believe that the Lord will come again in person, but he will come again in a new understanding of his Word (the Bible). This new understanding is accessible in the New Church, a New Christianity. Based on the teachings of the Old and New Testaments and the works of Emanuel Swedenborg.

Summary: Armageddon
Review: The Left Behind series is an awesome toll to lead the unsaved to the Saving Grace of Jesus Christ. In a world full of cynical people, lost in despair, upon reading any part of this series, everyone will find someone to relate to. The Bible is still the Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth manual. However, while some may be reluctant to delve into the Bible, they may open their hearts and minds to Jesus Christ upon reading this series. Thank you Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins for allowing the Lord to lead you. God Bless you.

Summary: Sorry to say.
Review: The last two books in this series have volumes of scripture in LaHayes and Jenkins attempt to use The Word as a way to create character development. They don't do a good job. I guess I am like the marathon runner. After spending so much time with the other books in the series, I felt forced to continue with the current edition. This book's ending was very poorly conceived. It felt like the bell rang in an exam and everyone had to put down their pencils. Like most good things, there is time to call it a night.

Summary: Fast paced, exciting race to the final battle (apocalypse)!
Review: I have loved the whole series! So far Tim LaHaye and Jenkins do not disapoint. The reader is held in suspense from beginning to end of the book. How much destruction can the Anti-Christ cause before Christ arrives to save His people? How many will die? As a reader I have come to care for these characters and genuinely care what happens to them. LaHaye and Jenkins dont't take the easy way out and let all the characters succeed. They struggle and their very lives are at stake. This is a war. People die. Sometimes the other side scores a victory. Yes, we know the ending if we've read the bible, but do we know the ending for the individual characters. Suspense at its best! Another reason I love the series is that it makes Revelation real and understandable. Before, it was the one book of the bible I didnt read because it was too hard to understand. Thanks to the authors, I now can say I understand the bible a lot more.

Summary: Can't wait for #12!
Review: 2004 Can't come quick enough! This was the best of the series so far...I have become so attached to these characters and to learn of some in their passing, I cried and was joyful to see they were in a better place. Don't pass this one up - It's great writing!

Summary: One Of The Best Ones Yet!
Review: LaHaye and Jenkins have done it again! This is one of the best books in the series. And what a clifhanger! I can't wait for the next release, which is the final chapter in the series. I definitely recommend this book, as well as the whole LB series. It's a great read which is not only entertaining, but gives you a whole new perspactive on prophecy. Read it! You won't be dissapointed!
CORRECTION: Just for all you LB fans, a small addition to this review. The LB website has announced that now there will be not 12, but 14 LB books in total. Wonderful news to fans; a dissapointment to those that want it over. Frankly, seeing where Armageddon left off, I could see where they needed more than one book to finish off the story (It took 11 books to cover the 7-year Tribulation, so 3 books for the final 1000 years is not bad), though I also wouldn't have minded No. 12 being the last. The situation is that the authors do cover a lot of detail. Bottom line, I like them, so I read them. Those who don't, should just get something else and stop criticizing the authors.
I just hope they stop making us wait sooooo loooong between the books.

Summary: No Title Necessary!!!!
Review: As a Catholic Christian I like the Left Behind Series, and believe in the message these books are trying to get across.
BUT, I think that the series has dragged on too long with too many characters to follow, people who appear at on stage, we get involved with them. Then we're left waiting for three books to find out what happened to them. Also, for a world that is in such chaos and destruction, there is too much back and forth with super computers and cell phones, which I understand aren't supposed to be in operation. The early church spread quickly without the aid of these things, and I would like to see modern people survive in an eniviroment without these things we rely on so heavily today.It would be interesting to see if they would hold fast to faith as I hope they would with computers and cell phones..
