Summary: Adult Reads Kids Series
Review: Book number 14 keeps you on the edge of you seat. I could not put it down until I was done. These kids are more knowledgeable than most adults are about the Bible and how to use the Bible to resolve the problems that they get into. I have read the series as a companion to the main series. It gives insight of how kids react to desperate situations. It gives a difference perspective on the events that are unfolding in the main series and how they interact with the major characters. I recommend these books to anyone that like to read and gain an insight into their own personal relationship with their religious beliefs. Where are numbers 15-100? I'm ready.

Summary: The Surprises Aren't Stopping!!!
Review: I've been reading Left Behind: The Kids series since the very first one came out and my grandmother bought it for me. Each book goes into more detail and depth about the 4 kids left behind after the Rapture of God. Book #16 has left me unable to wait for more. Not knowing if the 3 children left from the original Young Tribe Force will make it through another day alive. If you haven't read The Left Behind series you should start know and get caught up by the time book #17 comes out because you also will be wanting more. If I keep telling you anymore about the book I will definitely spoil the adventures the Young Tribe Force faces in book #16 The most amazing part of the book is how is keeps you on edge till the end, and still keeps you craving for more. This series of books has shown me why my decision in Christ will save me from the terrible and adventurous situations many people will experience after being Left Behind. Vicki, Judd, and Lionel learn more than ever in book #16 and must keep their heads on straight for the many dangerous situations they are going to have thrown at them. These books are truly uplifting and exciting and ready for any reader to open up and join in on the adventure. The adventures of these kids' lives are only at the second turning part and they are forced to make many life changing choices. Left Behind: The Kids #16 will never let you forget it, so purchase it today and join the fun!

Summary: Left Behind 16 is way ahead of the times
Review: This book is great. The thing I like most about Left Behind 16 is that it is so full of action. I'm surprised at many things that happen in this book. There are chases, escapes, and mysteries. One character that I can relate to is Judd Thompson; he is like me in a lot of ways. He's kind of bull-headed like me and he does some things without thinking. The most interesting part about this book is that it's about the end of the world and lots of strange things are happening. One is the government doesn't have very many religious freedoms and these kids are hiding from the government, which brings a lot of action packed events. There are also struggles within the group, which may remind you of your own family's struggles, but the kids try to get along. Tensions are always high in this book, that's for sure.

Summary: Enlightening!
Review: This book is very enlightening and will teach you more about Christianity, God, and what is to come. Believe me, you do not want to be here...this series will tell you all about what is to come in a fictional way. It is a book that all preteens and teenagers should read. If you are 10-14, than I will say that this is a MUST read. I can relate to the characters sometimes. It is a very good book and a very good series! The rapture is not fictitious. It is going to happen. In fact, the moon the moon will turn as blood and all but a third of the sun will be darkened before God comes back for his chosen people. Do not be afraid of this judgment or of the Rapture. If you are a Christian, then you will surely not be here when the rapture happens. This book can tell you more than I can. You will learn more than you did know about the end times! That is a guarantee! I have learned A LOT more about the end times from these books! I have really enjoyed these books! Buy this book and all the others in the series and anything you can get your hands on to learn about the Rapture, the Tribulation, and the Great Tribulation. This is definitely a subject that you should have knowledge of. Take it from me-the Tribulation is NOT going to be fun. Please buy this book and tell others about it.

Summary: Christian Propaganda
Review: This series of novels is inspired by "The Revelation to John", the last book in the New Testament, the third section of the Bible, the Christian holy book. "The Revelation to John" (which is often misnamed "The Book of Revelations") tells the Christian myth of what will happen at the end of the world. Basically, the authors took this story, which is barely 20 pages long, and turned it into a series of 12 novels plus a spin-off series that deals with kids. The Christian view is that only the people that believe that Jesus lived 2,000 years ago and died for their sins will be saved and receive an eternal reward in Heaven. What makes this worse is that individual merit based on good or evil deeds is not taken into consideration, because Christians believe that human beings cannot be put right with God except through Jesus. Christians believe that they are saved through faith alone; no amount of good works can win God's approval. So, all of the people that don't believe in Jesus will receive an eternal punishment in Hell, regardless of how many good deeds they do and how caring they are to other people. Meanwhile, the Christians will be saved no matter how evil they behave, because they've got Jesus on their side. "The Revelation to John" tells of an event known as the Rapture: all of the Christians are taken up to Heaven, and everyone else is left behind on Earth. After an event known as the Tribulation and world rule by someone known as the Anti-Christ, Jesus finally returns to Earth and defeats his enemies. Then the old Heaven and the old Earth go away, and a new Heaven and a new Earth are established - with God as King, of course. This took 20 pages in the Bible. Imagine reading the same story stretched over thousands of pages. As a non-Christian, I'm alarmed at what I consider to be an evil religion perpetuated by zealous idiots. Christians base their beliefs on documents that are close to 2,000 years old but don't quite date back to the time period that the events within allegedly occured. There is no physical evidence of the existence of Jesus. There are no non-Christian records of Jesus (not even in Roman execution records). There are no records by astrologists of the time period that describe such an event as that which supposedly occured during Jesus' crucifixion. I belief that the reason that Christianity has endured and grown as much as it has is because it's the only religion in the world that threatens the non-believer with an eternal punishment. Christianity is, at its core, a religion that rewards the "yes" people and punishes the nonconformists. The Bible itself orders Christians to spread the religion throughout the world. Christians feels that it's their duty to convert all non-Christians to Christianity. They pity non-Christians and "pray for their souls". They place themselves into a group of the elite - the saved. They start missions to convert the "heathen" non-Christians and "bring them over to Jesus". The Roman Catholic Church even has a division, called Propaganda, that specifically tries to establish churches in non-Christian nations. An example of a Christian mission is this book series. The authors are trying to bring readers to Jesus through these novels, which have, sadly, become best-sellers. I think that Christians should abort their missions and just leave people of other religions in peace. I'm so glad that there are billions of non-Christians in the world. It would be horrible if the Christians converted everyone. The world needs a balance of beliefs. Otherwise, it would lose its diversity. If you want to read a good book of a battle between good and evil, then read "The Stand: The Complete & Uncut Edition" by Stephen King. It tells a similar story, only better and in only 1,000 pages. The premise is that a superflu kills millions of people (we don't see what's going on in the whole world, just the United States), and those that are left band into two opposing camps of good and evil. The thing that makes King's book a lot better than this series is that no explanation is ever given for why these people are immune to the superflu. All types of people are left behind, both Christians and non-Christians. The authors of the "Left Behind" series make it seem like the world would fall into chaos if all of the Christians disappear, which is ludicrous. King wisely avoids this in his book. Buy it and enjoy it. Skip the "Left Behind" series. If you want to know what happens, take an hour to read "The Revelation to John".
