The Noose Is Tightening

I think I maybe liked Pursued even better than Taken(book 1)? Maybe that is just 'cause I've read book one a dozen times, but I love when the kids go back to school in Pursued and all the conversations about what everyone thinks happened. We are also introduced to the cousins John and Mark. (And I happen to really like Mark, don't ask why) The kids also start an underground school newspaper for Nicolae High in an effort to spread Truth to their classmates and warn them of the coming disasters. One of them has to survive in a detention center and after all this, they struggle to convince one of the group that the militia in NOT the best way to fight against Nicolae. These kids are brave, I tell you! After things started heating up at the school with the Underground, I would have been scared to keep it up. Anyways, I loved it, as I do all the Left Behind books. 5 stars. Highly recommended. READ THESE BOOKS, GUYS.

Pursued

Along with Taken, Pursued is a very enjoyable book to read, especially if you like Christian Fiction that pertains to the prophetic book called Revelation. Being as I am, I really like to compare these left behind books and read along in the book of Revelation to see how far the fictional characters are living in the end times. Even thought this is only the begining, it just keeps on getting better every time you read the next books. it is very easy to connect to the characters and get emotional attached to the characters, which are only fiction. This most of the time makes a really good book. Thats all for now, I hope this has helped some. Deus Laus

Rebuttal to anyone who'd knock these books

Christian books are not my usual genre, but one day i picked up the first book in the Left Behind series and i was hooked. The authors are brilliant, the characters are realistic. Honestly these books don't read like the typical Christian book. They don't 'push' religion on you at all. Of course they talk about religion and the christian characters try to help the non-christians to try to save themselves, but everything is presented as action books. There's danger, guns, heros, mysteries being solved, love, and 'thank god', none of those sex scenes that are constantly taking too much space in most of the books I enjoy reading. I'm pretty open-minded on religion, I believe that all things are possible. These books are entertaining, well written and engaging, with enough excitement and drama that even Non-Christians would get a lot of enjoyment out of reading them.

THE IDIOT

IDIOT YOU WERE NOT FORCED TO READ THE BOOKS, THESE BOOKS DO NOT FORCE THESE BELIEFS ON ANYONE, YOU HAD A CHOICE TO BUY IT OR NOT, CHECK IT OUT OF THE LIBRARY OR NOT,YOU GOT IT SOMEWHERE, I DONT CARE WHERE ALL I KNOW IS YOU MADE THE CHOICE TO READ IT. SO DON'T TRY TO SAY IT WAS FORCED ON ANYONE. DONT FORCE YOUR BELIEFS ON ME!!

Series for adults now rewritten for teens

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.
