Summary: The conclusion of those Left Behind
Review: After reading "Conquest of Paradise" by Britt Gillette, I was instantly turned on to biblical end-times literature, and I quickly began reading the Left Behind series... From book one, I was totally hooked, and I read up through "Armageddon" in about a month. I read "Glorious Appearing" straight through just this morning.In "Glorious Appearing", LaHaye and Jenkins continue to awe their readers with vivid descriptions of the return of Christ. The usual cast of characters returns, but they no longer enjoy the safety of their underground network. Running and hiding is no longer their goal. You will be blown away by the authors' portrayal of these events, and I don't want to give away plot in regard to the characters themselves, but if you've read the series, go out and buy this book! I encourage other Left Behind fans to pick up "Conquest of Paradise: An End-Times Nano-Thriller" as additional reading. That book got me interested in this series, and what a great book! What "Left Behind" lacks in realism, "Conquest of Paradise" adds in abundance. The prose is much more advanced and the international politics are identical to the current world scene and the war on terror. Peppered with biblical verses, "Conquest of Paradise" will turn even the most hardened prophecy skeptics into believers, or at least it will make them think twice. A bit more believable than "Left Behind", it's a book lovers of apocalyptic fiction shouldn't miss. It's so sad to see this series finally end. Hopefully, LaHaye And Jenkins will start a new one.

Summary: One of the best in the Left Behind series!!
Review: I don't usually like to read fiction but the whole Left Behind series got me hooked! This one is especially gripping and has an incredible cast of characters in it. From the first chapter of this book the imagery is very realistic and fast-paced. An absolutely enjoable read!

Summary: A 6. A magnificent end to this one-of a -kind series
Review: Earth has been torn apart as the Anti-Christ has taken control of the world politically, economically and religiously. The believers who have not taken the Mark of the Beast have been deprived of their freedom, gone into hiding or fought against Nicolas Carpathia's preaching and the powers he possesses from Satan. Jews have been the victim's of the Anti-Christ's hatred and many have been martyred for their beliefs. God's chosen people are supernaturally protected in Petra while the remaining Jews in Jerusalem try and hold the city against Carpathia's forces. Fed up with opposition to his regime, Carpathia amasses the biggest army the world has ever seen to kill the remnant in Petra and take control of Jerusalem. The ultimate battle between good and evil is about to take place and though foretold in Revelations how it will end and who receives just awards, remember that the victors write the history books. This is the twelfth and last book in the Tribulation series and it is the most rewarding tale of all to read because the theme is explicitly and unusually explored. No matter how powerful are the forces of darkness, one knows that the power of goodness will always defeat them. Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins have created a once in a lifetime storytelling extravaganza, one that will be a classic in the years to come. Harriet Klausner

Summary: ***Awesome ***
Review: This latest intallation of the left behind series is extremely well done and will keep readers on the edge of their seats. The character devlopement remains consistent and even for those who already know a bit about the end times the story remains very exciting. Readers who enjoy this fictionalized version on endtime events may also want to pick up 'Revelation Unsealed" by author Donald A Salerno which is an excellent non-fiction depiction of what the Apocalypse has to say about this final period of human history.

Summary: Excellent conclusion
Review: I had the privelige of getting an advance copy throgh a promotional offer.
This book is probably the most anticipated book of the year. In this book, the battle concludes. Nicolae Carpathia tries one final (and failed) assault on the Remnant at Petra. Jesus Christ visibly returns to Earth with those taken during the Rapture. He judges and all those who did not recieve Him as their saviour, and ten sets up His 1,000 year kingdom on Earth. These books are a depiction of Tim LaHaye's interpretation of the Book of Revelation and not to be considered exactly what will happen. As a Christian, I believe in Biblical prophecy but disagree with some of the author's interpretations. This book is well written and has some good parts to it. The authors plan to release a sequel later depicting Satan's final temporary release at the conclusion of the Millennial Kingdom, before finally being tormented forever. There is also plan to release a prequel with events before the Rapture and Nicloae's early government years. This book is not one to be missed but it is recommended that you read the other books first.

Summary: Another Doctrine of Ethnic Cleansing?
Review: In some ways this book is funny yet profoundly stupid. The writers Tim F. Lehaye and Jerry B. Jenkins have gloriously taken away the essence of Jesus Christ, which is Love. Their version of the bible is a doctrine of fear(almost sounds like the fear tactics of the current American Bush administration). And since when does Jesus like to kill horses? This is an important clue already that this is pure wacko stuff. Have we got another childish and primative interpretation of the bible here by these two silly-billys? Yes,people have a right to believe in a God who likes to rip open bodies and melt flesh into bloody messes. But I only hope they can keep their religious intolerance to themselves. If there is a devil, he certainly did a good job on these pious people who claim to love the book.

Summary: This book is an embarrassment
Review: I'm sorry, but after reading a few pages of this book, it is apparent that the authors are merely cloaking their brand of racial and ethnic intolerance as pseudo-pious narrative. The book's depicitons of violence and bloodshed are shocking to say the least. Far worse are the predications of violence based on differences in faith. Christianity teaches to "love thy neighbor," yet the story we have in this book says that if your neighbor is of a different religion or ethnicity, then they will die an agonizing death at the hands of the Messiah. This is not why God made us all different. This is not what the United States stands for. I seriously question the authors' intent in writing this piece. Also at question are the hearts and minds of those who blindly accept this dribble.

Summary: To everyone who bashes these books....CALM...DOWN!!!
Review:
What is it with certain types of people who get fired up about
FICTIONAL STORIES!!!
I'm sure they are the same people who get fired up about the Da Vinci Code and Micheal Moore movies.
Relax folks. They are JUST FICTIONAL STORIES!!! Meant to entertain...not reality.
Please stop weaving fiction in to your perception of life!
I absolutely love the review on the 1st page from the "Christian Propoganda" guy. :) Take a look a all the books he has reviewed... He copied and pasted the same text to review EVERY Left Behind book. Funny. It makes me wonder if the words are his or if they were copied and pasted from a left wing nutjob website. :) I would hate to have to live my life with such hatred in my heart.

Summary: Series limps to the finish line
Review: It's probably inevitable that the 12th of a 12-book series ties up a lot of loose ends, concerning both plot and character. Some interesting images and thoughts here, but not very compelling.
