Rating: Summary: Books 1,2&3 fast paced so what happened? Review: I eagerly read the first 3 books within a couple of days and rushed out to get the fourth thinking this is the grand finale! How wrong could I be..... I now find out that the authors intend to stretch the story line to at least 12 books - is this the Christian thing to do? Both Harvest and Apollyon and no doubt the next book could have been done in one. I am constantly re-covering old ground in the new books that I read in the first three with a couple of very minor exceptions. I don't wish to buy hardback versions of books for a series that has now decided to never end. Until then I shall keep myself busy reading the multi-chaptered, multi-storied, very interesting book - The Bible - It has a lot more action!
Rating: Summary: Uplifting (no pun intended!) Review: The entire Left Behind series is very moving and thought provoking. If you love this type of book, I highly endorse another such spiritually compelling novel, THE LAST DAY, by Glenn Kleier. Believe it or not, it is even more intriguing and suspenseful, and contains some astounding parables that read like newly discovered passages of the New Testament. THE LAST DAY gave me chills it was so powerful, and I can't stop thinking about its inspired message of hope.
Rating: Summary: Good Book, wait stinks Review: I loved this book, it continues a series of what I think is a likely method of telling out the truth in Revelations... Even though Revelation itself never mentions the Rapture... but that's something else alltoghether. I do begin to feel as though these guys are milking this series just a bit. Me and allot of my Christian friends love these books and share them all the time, but we are beginning to get slightly annoyed at the fact that there will be 12(?!!) books alltogether leading out to 2002(!?) Even though I am in high school, I think that this is just drawing it out slightly. But, it is addective and I guess we will keep on buying anyway *sigh*. De Colores!
Rating: Summary: captivating Review: Mr Lahaye and Mr Jenkins are truely gifted writers. I hope everyone like this book as much as I did.
Rating: Summary: Revelation Finally Revealed to Me!! Review: I'm a "new" Christian and I've had difficulty understanding Revelation when I read it. Thanks to this series of books, I can now get an idea of what's going to happen. The only thing I would like to see is a section at the end of the book with direct Scripture references (or quotes) for the book. I did hear a interview with one of the authors where he said they did take some liberties with actual Scripture. I would also like to know where this takes place in each book. All in all, I think the books are terrific. I also wait anxiously for each one to come out. (I'm now rereading each one). I believe the books are a great witnessing tool also. I have a daughter that reads Stephen King and Anne Rice vampire books (very disturbing to say the least!), and I am encouraging her to read these instead!
Rating: Summary: Great Books!!!!!!! Review: I thought they were great books before, but my best friend read "Left Behind" last night and was saved. That's no small feat, believe me. For years she's been against Christianity but she was saved because of you!! God bless you and your work. I myself am a Christian writer and only hope to come as close as you to saving so many souls.-Jessi
Rating: Summary: A breathtaking fiction adventure of a non fiction event! Review: Those people who gave these books negative reviews are just the ones that are going to be begging for more time on earth but it'll be too late. I love these books! They are biblically sound and pretty much bible based. Don't be fooled, this is a realistic description of the end of the world.
Rating: Summary: Another great novel and winessing tool for Christians!!!!!!! Review: The Jenkins and LaHaye series has blown me away. Apollyon delivers edge of your seat, can't wait till the next page excitement! I have no doubts that the Lord is using these men and this series of novels to bring people to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Apollyon combines a great storyline and biblical facts to make the best book of the Left Behind series yet. I can't wait till August to get the next book in this God inspired series! Thank you Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins!!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: If you liked this one . . . Review: While I found much to like in this series (and I've read them all so far), anyone who thinks this book is provocative should test their nerve on the most awesome "end-time" book of them all--Glenn Kleier's "The Last Day." You can't read it without coming away with a most profound feeling that you've just been in the presence of a true divinity and a divine revelation. An extraordinarly impressive story.
Rating: Summary: Not bad but not thier best. Review: I feel that the authors are too influenced by marketing now. In the beginning the book gave me the feeling that they were honestly trying to tell a story. It was an honest hard worked effort. Now it seems that the motive to me is making sure that thier bank account is full. In other words the books need more time to develop and they are taking much too long to tell the story. I do like the fact that the books may be druming up interest in Christ and that some may actually get the message, after all Paul said as long as they preach Christ.
