Summary: Good, Christian or Not
Review: As a non-denominational Christian, and a fantasy and science-fiction fan, but mostly as a writer, I believe these books have great merit.These books portray God as he really is. He isn't a fluffy and cute God, he is a very powerful and real God, and crossing him is not a good idea. Retribution will be had, and while God doesn't want people to suffer, he warned them, and warned them well. He has said that the Rapture will not happen until all people of the world have heard his message. If you hear and do not obey, then you will be punished. The Science and Fantasy of these books is great. It is based on the artists theories of how the Anti-Christ might work, and how the world may be changed. Great representation of the world from many points of view. As a writer, I believe the writing style is a little below par, but it does not detract from the plot. The books flow, and are a wonderful addition to anyone's home library, as they are as good the second and third time through as they are the first. I recommend these books to anyone who, Christian or not, loves a good adventure.

Summary: Left Behind Series
Review: Everyone of these books were wonderful to read--I couldn't put them down! After finishing one, the second couldn't come fast enough! I'm anticipating the 9th edition with bated breathe! It's a pity that they're so expensive. If they weren't, I know lots of people who would've purchased them already. My entire office is passing them around. We can't get enough!

Summary: Left Behind
Review: How twisted to believe that a loving creator would cause such misery and suffering. A person has to be sick in the heart and twisted in the mind to believe such nonsense. People will believe anything, it doesn't matter how outrageous, how ridiculous or how detrimental. This is a good example of why Patricarchal religions are a negative force. The writing is 3rd grade. The story is Christian propaganda, wishful thinking!!!

Summary: left behind series
Review: I have read all 8 books in this awesome series. Once I started reading I could not put them down. For 3 weeks straight almost every bit of my free time was spent reading these books. As soon as I finished one I could barely wait to buy the next. I haven't been this excited about books in a long time. I am not a christian (although I have read the bible) and I would recommend these books to anyone..and I do frequently. They definatley make you think..and take stock of your position on religion. The authors did an excellent job. A+ I hope the next book is not to far off.

Summary: Challenging
Review: I have read all six of the books in the Left Behind series and anxiously await number seven. In fact, I am rereading the first six so I am ready to continue when the new book comes out in May 2000. I am a Christian and have always believed in the Rapture, although the Bible has a lot of gray areas about the specifics. These books put wonderful imagination to hard-to-understand concepts in the Book of Revelation and Daniel. The books are adventuresome and exciting; one can hardly put them down; I even turn off the tv because I would rather be reading them, which is unusual for me. Besides the action and drama, they are challenging to one's inner person. They make you think about your own spiritual condition and are you ready for the return of Jesus Christ. They are appropriate for Christian or non-Christian to read. And even if one doesn't agree with everything presented, they are excellent novels and challenge one to consider the ramifications of the return of Jesus Christ (in the Rapture) but ultimately in His Second Coming when He returns to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Summary: Wonderful Books
Review: I have read the first four books in this series and I think they are all wonderful so far. I started the first book at the beginning of December and just finished the fourth last night, it is hard to not want to jump right into the next one when you finish. I have read so many negative reviews on here, talking about how the books are poorly written, have no Christian merrit and so on. I have read the book of Revelations, and I see the writers of these books writing what Revelations says. They do repeat over and over that it is meant to be taken literally from Revelations and that is exactly what they did. When one reads this book they must understand that it is fiction, the authors are writing a story, and including the Bible in it. I can't think of a better way to get His word out to people that might otherwise never want to hear it. Once someone reads books like this I don't see how they won't want to find out for themselves what the Bible means. Also remember the same passage of scripture will mean something different to two different people.

Summary: Wow! If you don't belive...YOU WILL!
Review: I picked up Left Behind on a whim based on a relatives account of the book. I have not been able to read through the pages of any book with such excitement and understanding of the truth of God and His Word. This series of books has encouraged me not only to become a better bible student, but to also encourage other belivers to learn more about the End Times. The Left Behind series unlocks so many of the puzzles that are within the book of Revelation. I can only imagine the anointing and communication with God these two writers have. LaHaye & Jenkins use actual scripture from the bible and wonderful fictional writing skills to give the reader all the facts, possibilites and options. Truth is Truer than fiction and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to read, understand and get a better understanding of the word of God through this work. As with any work of fiction based on the Truth, one must study for themselves to find where the dividing line is, but these books are good spring boards to intense study without feeling lost in the Thees, Thous and shalls of the Bible. To the religious skeptics, pick up a book, approach it as you would a Grisham book, knowing that Grisham is a lawyer and that he has some inside knowledge into the Law. Watch how you begin to wonder..."Is that actually possible?" Then go grab the Bible as you would a Law Journal to see for yourself! If you are not a believer and are suddenly "Left Behind", remember these books so that you may know what's ahead and how to not be Left Behind...AGAIN!

Summary: Hooked on Left Behind, but there is better...much better
Review: Okay, I'm hooked on this series. I've read 6 of the 9 so far and I have to admit it gets pretty unrealistic at times. I guess I'm just a sucker for a soap opera. I'm hooked on the story of the characters. On the other hand, while I'll keep reading Left Behind, I have to agree with all those that say that The Christ Clone Trilogy by James BeauSeigneur is really a better and much more realistic end times series. Besides since The Christ Clone Trilogy is a completed series, you don't have to worry so much that the rapture will come before you finish reading.;-)

Summary: Best ever
Review: The Left Behind Series are the best collectoin I've ever read.I am a beleiver who has always been a big chicken when it came to reading Revelations.These books have been a way of getting into Revelatoins without the scariness I once felt.I have read opinions of some who call these books a fairy tale but growing up in the Church of God it is as I was taught. Many thanks to the authors for these books.
