Summary of this Book... | ||
"Left Behind" is the first in a series of books detailing Armageddon--the end of life on Earth. Based on the Christian Bible, the story follows an airline captain, his daughter, a world-renowned journalist, and a small but significant dignitary from Romania who just might turn out to be the Antichrist. | ||
This type of Book is good for... | ||
This book is good for anyone interested in "end of the world" scenarios. Those with an interest or a strong belief in Christianity will likely enjoy it, though people of a different religion may appreciate the authors' opinion of the Christian view of the end of the world. | ||
I especially liked... | ||
The idea of Armageddon fascinates me. The authors use Christian scripture to back up many of their sub-plots, which is both frightening and fascinating. The suspense and the inherent sense of evil are mind-blowing. | ||
I didn't like... | ||
The book starts rather slowly. I was in the middle of the book before it actually gripped my interest. That's unfortunate, because I'm sure the authors have lost a lot of readers that way. | ||
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to... | ||
Read the next one in the series! This series has been so popular that my copy brags there are over 20, 000, 000 copies of the books in print. There are also numerous spin-offs and movies based on the novels. | ||
This Book made me feel... | ||
Like I needed to re-confirm my position on Earth. It sounds corny, but I started wondering where I'd fall if the events in this book took place tomorrow. It's scary. | ||
The author of this Book... | ||
There are two authors of the series. One, Dr. Tim LaHaye, conceived the series. He's a minister, educator, and "prophecy scholar", according to the back cover of the book. The second author, Jerry B. Jenkins, is a renowned author of over 100 books, many of which have made the best-sellers list. | ||
I recommend this Book because... | ||
I think the perspective is interesting. I can't think that anyone isn't interested in what the End of Days (to paraphrase a Schwartzenegger movie) will bring. This book highlights the beginning of the end, and it made me think about the value of mankind. | ||
Further Comments... | ||
It's not a long book, read it, try it, see if it's something you're interested in! | ||
