Summary: Another great book in the series...
Review: The Remnant is another fine book in the Left Behind Series. While it lacked some of the flair that Apollyon had, it is one of the better books in the series. The book suffers a bit from a slow beginning, but the end more than makes up for it. The tendency of the authors to use too many characters at once has settled off a bit as the plagues take their toll on the populace. Nevertheless, the vivid detail in the post-Rapture world sends chills up and down my spine. I am sure there will be some big critics of the book, nevertheless, this book holds true to the series and the whole predispensational millenialism view the authors espouse. There is nothing really overtly shocking or sensational about the book. However, I would not recommend non-Christian or anyone for that matter to begin with this book. Read the books in order starting with Left Behind to avoid a whole lot of confusion.

Summary: The Remnant: On the Brink of Armageddon (Left Behind No. 10)
Review: The Left Behind Series are written for those who are focused on LaHaye's preconceived ideas of end time events and not what the Holy Bible teaches in Daniel and Revelation.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Yet Another Excellent Novel in the Left Behind Series
Review: I loved this book, just as I have loved the rest of the Left Behind series. Written by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins, these books deliver a powerful spiritual message without denominational slurs and an in-your-face attack. This book, like others, has a powerful storyline, a strong message, and memorable characters. I highly recommend this book - and any book in this series - for anybody interested in Christianity or the end times.

The main characters - Rayford, Chloe, and Buck - continue their saga in the times after the Rapture. This book is high suspense, making the time it takes to turn a page seem like forever. What will Nicolae do next? What does God's great plan have in store for the Tribulation Force? How many people will come to witness the power of Christ? Many secrets await, and new faces will appear.

As I stated before, I highly recommend this novel and other novels in the series. I certainly would read the books in order (this is number ten), and I would have a bible handy to catch many of the allusions. However, for the most part it is a fun read with a powerful message. I can't wait until next year for the next installment!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Makes you think
Review: This book is really a good book to read if your interested in our last days, it really edjucates you on the bible without confusing you. This book tells of many peoples stories of the last days and what happens to them. I really recomend this book, you'll love it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: New Narrator
Review: I have enjoyed all of these books on audio tape. I have a long commute and it is the perfect time to listen to audio tapes.

The story for this book is very good, although it skips around a lot (probably due to the abridgement). If I remember correctly it covers more time than the last two books combined.

My biggest disappointment was the new narrator. I really enjoyed the way the previous narrator differentiated between the characters with identifiable accents and inflections. This new narrator seemed a little flat. He has a great voice, just not as good characterization. It also took me a while to get used to his pronunciation of the various names and changed accents (they are different from before.) Nicolae and Leon have totally different accents in this version and sometimes it was difficult to tell who was saying what. The story line is good and still keeps you sitting on the edge of your seat. I hope the next two books will have the previous narrator.

This version is a little disappointing (due to the narrator), but still worth the listening. I can't wait for the next book!

Summary: Unbiblical Drivel
Review: Rapture Theology is a garbage and so are the Left Behind books. Anyone who thinks that are scripturally accurate does not know scripture

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Could be tomorrows headlines
Review: I really enjoy the left behind series I started reading the
series before 9/11/01.The Remnant is a lot better then Descreation.I started reading it last night I could not put it
down and these books could be tomorrows headlines.I
would recomend these novels to anybody who is not saved..

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Better than the last few, not as good as the first
Review: I have every intention of finishing the series (as long as they reach Armageddon in one of the next two books) but I tend to agree with previous reviewers that the series is being 'milked' for money now. The authors might want to remember that money is not the God they should be worshipping.

As far as the story goes, there is very little of Rayford or Buck in this one. There is a lot more of the Chang family. I think that there are too many characters now to keep track of and that the series would be better if they were dealing more directly with the trials of the original trib force instead of vaguely introducing what those characters are doing now and jumping from character to character. The original few books were very detailed in emotionalizing how awful the judgments were, now it is more like bragging 'Ha ha look at what you got that I don't have' which doesn't seem to be very Christian to me. The original characters repeatedly say things like 'I don't understand WHY they just don't accept God' instead of truly thinking (I was thinking, duh, just accept a God that is PUNISHING you??? I don't think it is RIGHT, but I can understand why people would still be confused). Not enough of Tsion or Chaim or most of the original Trib force. Chloe finally has a bit more of a role. Leah is practically nonexistent (mentioned a few times, not active). All in all, I think that they need to figure out a limit to the number of plot directions they are going in and stick to those.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: They just keep getting better!
Review: The Remnant has continued where "Desecration" left off, but for some reason the reading is easier and the characters even more believable. With each twist and turn the authors show us God's awesome power and the unfortunate situations that those "Left Behind" must face.

While focusing primarily on the faith that the new believers have gained in the Lord, The Remnant further demonstrates the "Bowl Judgements" prophesized in the book of Revelation.

With an action packed attempt at retrieving a fellow believer from the hands of the GC, we get a clearer picture of Chloe Steele-Williams' adventurous side, as well as the leadership and spiritual growth of Mac McCullum.

From a daring prison-break to a false-prophet performing miracles, to actual contact with angels such as Michael, Christopher, and Enoch, The Remnant delves further into the Great Tribulation. This book expresses the horrors of life after Christ's rapture of His church, but also gives us hope and faith in God and His overwhelming demonstrations of love and grace.

Definitely a must read. Can't wait another year for the next one!!!

Summary: I believe the authors are now getting greedy
Review: I have loved the first few books in this series but have been finding the last couple books to have less substance. This series was originally going to be 7 books, and here book #10 is just released and according to the storyline only about half of the Tribulation period has passed.

When I first started reading book #10 I had high hopes that the book would be better than the last couple. Yet literally half of the book is dedicated to the rescue revolving around Sebastian. I understand this to be important to the story, but half of the book? In my opinion, this is a clear sign that the authors are looking to stretch this series out to as many books as they can. I fear that the success of this series has resulted in the authors getting greedy.

What started as a noble attempt by Jenkins and LaHaye to take one of the most mysterious books of the Bible and use relatable fictional characters to give the reader a sense of what it might be like to experience/live through all the horrors/miracles of the book of Revelation has resulted in a disgusting level of greed.

Now I understand that many of you other readers may not care about this as much as I do. But part of the fun about the Left Behind series was who the authors were and what they did in there lives. When I first started reading the series I had faith that these men were taking interpreted results from the book of Revelation and putting them into a fictional story so everyone could understand the book of Revelation. These I felt to be motives of pure intention. But now this belief of mine no longer holds true. I believe what was once a great series has fallen sharply to the way side.

Does this mean you shouldn't read the book? No, but keep in mind the series isn't as exciting as it once was.
