Summary: Welcome Back! Book 10 is a great 'save' after Book 9.
Review: After reading Desecraton, I was so disappointed that I was ready to hang up the series. Books 1-6 had been enjoyable and what I would consider 'really good' books for all. By books 7&8 things were beginning to decline. However, when I read book 9 I was certain that the only reason it was published was because of the author's names and the attention they had drawn from the previous books in the series. What a total disappointment it was. I came close to not continuing with the series. However, I am very glad I was stuborn and proceeded to do so. The Remnant is truly worthy of putting them back into favor with me. The Remnant is fast moving, and detailed. We are seeing events happening and unfolding as we would imagine they will be. You will see action that includes nearly all of the characters being involved, without staying on one character or series of events that lasts too long. The pace is set just right. It is not going too quickly that it is skipping details that are important, and yet it is not slowing down and describing every minor and boring detail that we surely are not interested in. Chloe is annoying, and although her desire to 'be in the action' obviously shows us that she is better off working on the Coop project, she proves she is not good when it comes to common sense in a crisis. Sabastian's section of his capture and exciting escape is detailed and truly a worthy adventure in itself. The rather silly appearance of Michael as co-pilot was somewhat goofy, but humourous in a way. (While at the same time, we can only admit that God works in mysterious ways and He can do anything) And, the amazing events at Petra will only confirm how the Lord does protect His flocks. Reading this can only bring comfort to those who fear death. That is..........if you know the truth. Although none of us want to leave our loved ones. And, I know that I am a sinner and it will be hard for me when I have to look Jesus in the eyes and answer for what I've done here. I surely have not used all that He has given me and done my best. It is still exciting, to us who know Christ. And, to those who do not, I pray it will make them want to. That it will make them search and find the Truth. This book is fiction, we all know that. But, only God knows exactly when and where and how these events will take place. The stories from this series bring out our imagination to think and comprehend what is totally uncomprehensible. Many things are quoted from scripture and will occur. The hows,whens, wheres - we have yet to find out. But, if you are not a believer,you surely will find some parts that cause you to want to search further and learn more. I pray that you do. If for no other reason than to just learn more. If you are a believer, then you can enjoy these, knowing that although they are fictional writing, they are inspired by truth. I definitly recommend this book. And, although you may have been dissappointed with 9, don't give up and stop there. Read on.

Summary: Remnant
Review: I love this series, and I am always anticipating the next book to come, even though the last few have seemed on the slow side. After reading this book, I am back on track - looking forward to the next one. The book spans over a long period of time as all the tribulation saints await for the appearing. The last few chapters are really speeding things up, and I'm expecting the next one to be even better!

Summary: A Book Recommendation for "Left Behind" Readers
Review: As a minister, I am always enthusiastic when I recommend (from the pulpit or anywhere else) the wonderful series of "Left Behind" books, which of course focus on the last book of the Bible, Revelation as its text. For all of us who appreciate these books, I recommend an excellent book about the first book of the Old Testament.
Dennis Shulman's "Genius of Genesis" is a reverent and beautifully-written description of the glory of the Book of Genesis; and was an excellent text for our church's spring book discussion circle.
If you want to truly understand the Bible, from its last words to its first, read the "Left Behind" books and "The Genius of Genesis."

Summary: Can we end it already ...please???
Review: I must admit The Remnant is a huge improvement over book 9 (Desecration) but I find myself wishing the authors and publishers had stuck to the original plan of 7 books in 7 years... that had a certain amount of symbolism to it also :) The Remnant moves faster and covers a larger time period ... I would have liked to see more of Leah, I also think the rescue of Sebastian could have taken place in half as many pages just as effectively. Unfortunately, as with the last 3 books, the writing style and dialogue has become ever more simplistic and the margins and typeface larger which I find insulting. I can read at a greater-than 6th grade level ... as can 99.9% of the other readers of this series I'm sure. I felt like I purchased the "Large Print" edition by mistake! This series has been stretched out and merchandised enough already... I pray it has been so for purposes of reaching as many believers and non-believers as possible instead of just to make a buck or two... Of course, I'll be reading the next book... *sigh*... I miss the anticipation I used to have... now it's almost like drudgery and obligation... gotta buy and read each one in the series because I'm committed to the end of it, gotta find out what happens next... even though at this point it's become somewhat predictable. I will pray that they return to the style, action, pace, excitement, and unpredicibility of plot that was in the first books during the last few books.

Summary: What a load of crap
Review: I work in an office where most of my fellow employees are fundamentalist holyrollers and biblethumpers. I finally gave in and read one of the "Left Behind" books -- this one. One-hundred percent crap. Not even good fiction. I shake my head in wonder that people can really, truly believe the "Left Behind" books are great reading. But, then, anyone who would believe that the bible is literal, actual truth will believe anything.

Summary: Loses a little luster
Review: This novel picks up where the last left off. I still love the series and will keep reading the next installments. I also recommend reading Steve Alten's latest thriller, RESURRECTION, part of his DOMAIN series. RESURRECTION kept me turning pages like the first books in the Left Behind series did!

Summary: Zero to Sixty
Review: The book started off as all of the other ones do buy giving history and going in to detail about what is going on and who is thinking what, but when I got to the last couple of chapters it "spead up." When I came to the last page I was like "is this really the end of the book?" Don't get me wrong, there were places in the book where I was in suspense and my heart was pounding, but it seemed like they (LaHaye and Jenkins) rushed the last couple of chapters to fit it in the book. I have come this far and won't quit until the end of the series though.

Summary: Don't bother
Review: I picked up this book because I'm a fan of apocolyptic fiction... Christ Clone, Conquest of Paradise, The Last Days... I was hoping for more of the same. I was never a big fan of the Left Behind series anyway, and the Remnant just bored me to tears. The theological backing for this book is hardly examined, nor are the characters fleshed out... Even if you do like the Christian genre, like I do, you will be disappointed.
