The continuing adventures of the four teenagers caught in a world in chaos. After being left behind at the Rapture, they struggle to grow in their newfound faith, live boldly for Christ, and battle... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I have always enjoyed the adult series of Left Behind books. The kids books are just as good. The kids interact with the characters from the adult series, experience the same events, etc. However, since the main characters are teens, these books can appeal to younger readers. So far, the stories haven't had the ups and downs that the adult series has had. The adult series has books that are a lot more boring than others. The kids series seems to be good in every book. These are not for really young kids, but would be appropriate for young teens. I enjoy them and I am an adult.
You will LOVE these books whether you are a Christian or not

..I love these books! I don't give a diddly-squat 'nevahmin'' that they are written at a 10th grade level..That just makes them a 'fast read' while soakin' in the tub. Happens that I AM a Christian, but that doesn't mean I consider the series to be 'fact' based. My studies of the bible include "Through the Bible" series by Dr. J Vernon McGee and I think his interpretation of the 'end-times' is probably more accurate. ... I don't read these stories for anything but entertainment...Children shouldn't be scared by characters killed off in a book...Read these books, they will get you thinking about something grander than yourself...
Warning!

I think it is fair to warn you that this IS a Christian book series that is written about the end times. God never told us that the end times were always going to be hunky-doory so please don't expect these books to be like a fairy tale where everything always turns out ok. Some people is this series actually do die. Don't get me wrong, I think these books are awesome. I just want to make sure that you don't expect the books in this series to be whishy-washy fluff books. These are the kind of books that make you rethink your own faith. Are you ready for the challenge?

The Left Behind series for adults has been said to be okay, and having read it, I'd agree. But the kid's version is wonderfully written, and I thoroughly recommend it to all readers who are looking for something good. The downpart, however, is that it is a very Christian book, and you must understand that before you read it. It is about the Rapture, when all the good people go to heaven and the bad people are left behind (thus the title). So read it, but know that it is Christian and frequently talks about the Bible and the Antichrist, who is named Nicolate Carpathia.
