Tim Lahaye and Jerry B. Jenkins - Left Behind: Ilumina

Pros: Very positive
Cons: Jumps from one group of people to another

This book follows the book of Revelation in the Bible very accurately. The authors keep the suspense high and each of this series ends with a cliff hangar ending. The content is positive with Christian values evident throughout. I felt that this could...

Pros: Compelling, riveting, high suspense, really the pros are endless...
Cons: Once you start reading you can't put it down!

This a great start to a wonderful series of books. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. The characters are great. The story line is woven beautifully. There are religious references that may get you thinking about your own mortality. Since I...

Pros: Thought-provoking, hard to put down
Cons: Fictionalized

Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins have collaborated to produce an excellent series of books. I cannot put any of these books down. Rarely do I care to hang onto a book after I have finished it, but I have started collecting these books and I keep them in my...

Pros: Absolutely wonderful Book, You will not want to put it down!
Cons: It gets expensive trying to buy all of the books in one month! (smile)

To be completely honest, I have never read a religious fiction book in my entire life. I do consider that strange since my grandfather is a retired minister and my father is also a minister. I have kind of drifted from the church scene as of late....

Pros: States Biblical verses
Cons: Authors interpretation

This is book one in an ongoing series by a wonderful pair of writers.
It begins by telling a bit about the story teller...one of the main characters. Left Behind is a very believable account of the coming of our Lord and saviour....Jesus Christ....

Pros: Brings out the very meaning of the "rapture".
Cons: Kind of like a prediction, no one really knows what it will be like for sure.

In this book about earth's last days, There are a lot of good points made about the rapture of the church. This book shows the urgency to know Christ and to do so before it's too late. I really enjoyed this book. I would love to read the rest of the...

Pros: Original and Entertaining
Cons: Can't Read Them Fast Enough

I started out reading this book because a friend of mine had suggested it.

I almost decided not to read it because of the amount of religious material it supposedly contained and the fact that I'm a non-practitioner.

I'm glad that I...

Pros: Great Read, Great Story, True to me
Cons: If you have read them all you have to wait for the sequel for too long.

I just happened to pick up the Left Behind book at a local Sam's Club. I love to read and usually stick with the authors I like. I am not sure why I decided to take the book but boy I am glad I did. I guess you could say I re-evaluated my life and how...

Pros: A wonderfully compelling story!
Cons: Slow through the middle of the book

I read this book on the recommendation of some folks from church and was pleasantly surprised! I half expected a re-hashing of the book of Revelation and thought it would be dry. The other half of me expected a "preaching" session that would...

Pros: Very exciting and suspenseful
Cons: Lacks details

If you are not a Christian and are exploring the subject, these books can be an inspiration if taken in the proper context. Keep in mind that this is FICTION. Not all Christians agree on how the events in Revelations have unfolded or will unfold, but...

Pros: Nonstop Action, Detail
Cons: -=None=-

WOW! This book is a well written book. I could not put it down. . .I read this 400 page book in three days. When you first start out you are in an airplane. All of a sudden half the passengers disappear leaving just their clothes and a lot of grief. From...

Pros: follows the Biblical pretense very well
Cons: slightly simplistic in concept

I am NOT a born again Christian. I don't go to church very often, but I have a relationship with God. Out of curiosity about Revelations and what it really is, I read this and 3 other Left Behind books. Wow!

This series is very, very easy...

Pros: Very exciting
Cons: None

Left Behind was a book that I could not put down! The turn of events in this book keeps you on edge the whole time and makes for very easy reading! I have read the first four books in the series so far and each book is just as good as the first, but...

Pros: Thrilling, Keeps you glued til the end.
Cons: Waiting for the next book to come out!

The Left Behind series are awesome! I recommend them to anyone. They are worth your time. If you aren't big into books you will be big into this one. These books are fiction based on the end times. They talk about the tragedies of some people being taken...

Pros: Fast, Great Plot and Characters
Cons: NONE

This incredible fiction is an excellent book for those readers who enjoy fast reading. The author start the book off in an airplane and immediately pulls the reader into the plot. Next thing you know, you're half way through the book, and the sun...
