great series. Even non-Christians should read at least the first book because the idea is great as fiction. A perfect ending.

LEFT BEHIND GLORIOUS CONCLUSION!!.......2007-03-08

WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS HOW VERY MUCH I HAVE ENJOYED THE LEFT BEHIND SERIES
AND THE CONCLUSION DID NOT LET ME DOWN. TIM LAHAYE AND JENKINS HAVE DONE
A BRILLIANT SERIES AND ENCOURAGE THE READERS TO LIVE BETTER, SHARE THE
WORD OF GOD AND LOOK FORWARD TO WHAT LIES AHEAD FOR US BELIEVERS.

Amazing!.......2007-01-12

I have never read a book or seen a movie that could avoid an What If or a What Happens Now mindset. I read this book, I love this book and the entire series. At the end of the book every question I had was answered, what happens to everyone? What happens 'after'? Everything.

I finished reading the book, talked to my pastor who explained that yes it's all a fictional story, who wouldn't know that but it's based on the bible and explains to people like me that would need a lay-man type of answer to my questions of what is going to happen. The series helped me to have no worries about my future, how the end of the world will come and how things could be after Armageddon.

I've suggested the series to everyone that I know. Fantastic read.

What Can I Say?.......2006-12-30

The book says that I die. It literally says that I, someone who has never met Timothy LaHaye in my life, deserve to be KILLED, and not just killed but eviscerated, and it celebrates my sentencing to a lake of fire as "righteous". WTF? This is how it describes my death:

"But even as they struggled, their own flesh dissolved, their eyes melted and their tongues disintegrated... leaving grotesque skeletons standing, before they, too, rattled to the pavement."

These aren't evil people. They're just people who don't believe in Jesus! That's what Jesus does to every single non-Evangelical and non-Christian on the planet in Timothy LaHaye's book. Take a good look, because there's only one type of person who could possibly enjoy reading this book, and if there were a benevolent God those people would be put away in a very distant place where they could no longer be a danger to the rest of us.

Take it for what it is.......2006-11-22

I have not read this particular book. I only just finished Tribulation Force (2nd in the series) today. I came online to see about ordering the remainder of the books. After reading some of the reviews, only a handful of the almost three hundred posted, this seems to be more of a pulpit than a review board. Although I will mention my beliefs, I'm not writing this to preach, but to give my honest opinion on the Left Behind series.

I am an avid reader and lover of all books. I usually read 4-5 books a week. Book one of Left Behind was no exception; I read it in less than two days. The second book, however, was a major struggle for me. The first day I started it, I ended up throwing it across the room mere chapters from the ending. For three days, it sat where it landed. I talked to someone about my misgivings. He told me I was taking it too seriously, and that although I do believe whole-heartedly in the doctrine this series is based on, I would be wise to remember it is a work of fiction written for profit. After another two days of reflection, I picked the book back up and finished it with no problems, which brings me to my point.

This is a work of fiction. Yes, it is based on how the authors interpret the Bible, specifically Revelation. But it is to be read as any other fictitious book. Obviously, religion is a touching subject or there would not be the extensive list of posts. (I do mean touching and not touchy. Anger and hate are just as stirring as love and compassion.) These books are just like the Da Vinci Code. The author is passionate about his beliefs and wants to share them with as many people as possible. How better to do that than through a wide-spread publication? Also like the Da Vinci Code, the message has created confusion and confrontation, which I believe was Dan Brown's intention in order to attract people to his book and belief system. I don't believe this is what Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins wanted. For people who truly believe it, the Tribulation is one of the most intriuging, intense, exciting, confusing and terrifying aspects of Christian study. These two men are simply excited and chose writing as the means to demonstrate it. I don't think they meant it as a way of preaching to non-believers, but more as an avenue for believers to worship. Again, I have only read the first two, but just in those, it is obvious LaHaye and Jenkins are immensely steeped in knowledge of the Tribulation. Because of that, they would know how delicate it is for non or new believers to hear this message. This is what brings me to conclude the series was not written to lead people to Christ, but for those who already know Him.

That said, I come to my reccomendations. For true believers, I say read and enjoy, but do be careful. Remember it is fiction. No man can guess what it's really going to be like to endure the Tribulation. Don't get sucked in, as I did, and take it for more than its worth, which is man's imagination woven into the doctrine to make it readable.

For non-beleivers, stop after the first book. I believe the first one lays a great foundation for someone to find Christ. If you read it, and want to learn more, find a church whose heart is right in the Lord. For someone who does not know Christ, this series is only going to create confusion and anger. Some of the most devout Christians struggle with Revelation. As I said before, it is one of the most intriuging, intense, exciting, confusing and terrifying aspects of Christianity. We are not meant to understand it until we have a strong relationship with God. Even then most of its mysteries will not be revealed until the day of His return.

So, please, for anyone who reads this, just walk away with the warning all of the Left Behind books are not to be read lightly as they reflect the word of God, but remember they were written by men for the sake of other men.

Product Description

Thousands of years of human history stained by strife, death, and sin come to an end when the King of Glory returns to earth. The satisfying conclusion of the seven years of Tribulation covered by the Left Behind series portrays the return of Jesus Christ to earth in both glory and judgment. The Antichrist has assembled the armies of the world in the Valley of Megiddo for what he believes will be his ultimate triumph of the ages. With a victory here he would ascend to the throne of God. The Tribulation Force has migrated to the Middle East, most ensconced at Petra with the Jewish Remnant, now more than a million strong. But only one of the four original members of the Force remains alive, and he is near death. Jerusalem is falling to the Global Community's Unity Army, and Tsion ben-Judah has been slain. Few in Petra know of his loss, and both Rayford Steele and Buck Williams are unaccounted for. It's been just over seven years since the Rapture and almost exactly seven years since Antichrist's covenant with Israel. Believers look to the heavens for the Glorious Appearing of Christ, as the world stands on the brink of the end of time. But God has another plan.
