Whether or not you believe in the Bible, Left Behind does make for an interesting tale of comfort through crisis (especially post 9/11), conspiracy, a father's relationship to his daughter, and how a newsman deals with removing his feelings to get to a story. The best way to read this series is as a fictional novel in which extraordinary events have happened, people will start to believe in religion. Details are taken out of the Book of Revelation and fiction is added to make it an enjoyable read. I enjoyed the book and the and the rest of the series intense action and feeling which makes them page turners.

LOVED this book as well as the whole series. Each time, I could not wait for the next book to come out. Like visiting old friends every new book. This series was the first I have seen that dealt with the Rapture and it was great.

I give this book 5 stars! Wonderful Christian series (which still seems to be extremely popular). In the days we now live, I would highly recommend this book for anyone interested in eschatology.

This is just one book in the whole series. Nicholae is taking his place as the false savior. A page turner and fast read. Gives you lots to think about.

The saga continues as Rayford, his wife, and Buck and Chloe (now married) make it their mission to win as many souls to Christ as they can. The seven year tribulation is nearing the end of its first quarter when prophecy says, "The rath of the Lamb will be poured out upon the earth."

"I read all the adult and all the kids series. I enjoyed them all very much. They helped me to understand the book of revelations better. My daughter is now reading them and really enjoying them, so I am trying to get the whole set of both."

So, it is Left Behind 3. The Tribulation Force (fundamentalist terrorist cell) mourns their dead teacher. A nerd builds them all supersecretspystuff. They cry a lot, pray a lot, worry about whether to abort the Antichrist's child, blackmail a closeted lesbian into silence by threatening to out her, fantasize about the mass conversion of Jews to Protestantism, etc. Every fun American city (plus Dallas) is bombed into rubble. A Range Rover almost gets wrecked. A divinely-inspired earthquake happens, and a man who has been locked in an underground bunker comes out and asks someone else, "Was that the great earthquake?" Really! They sold like 12 million of these books. There is no sex (they do kiss a couple times), but there's plenty of spiritual pornography for people who like to imagine their fellow humans slaughtered en masse, for God and stuff. Four and a half stars.

This is another awsome book in the End Times series by Tim Lahaye and Jerry Jenkins. A wonderful and informative read. I recommend it highly, Jeanette
reviewed Nicolae: The Rise of Antichrist (Left Behind, Book 3) on + 11 more book reviews
Jenkins and LaHaye weave a compelling story of a very believeable potential "going-down" of end times events as prophesied in sacred scriptures of Judeo-Christian faiths. Unforgettable characters are teamed with a thrilling and convoluted plot, timed against the chaotic backdrop of the AntiChrist's rise to power in the post-Rapture world in this well-written continuation of the Left Behind Series. Highly recommended as a work of fiction-this series is hard to put down. Prepare for a case of done-in-a-day reading--and be prepared to want to read them again.

I LOVE The Left Behind series, and I wouldn't be willing to part with this book were it not for the fact that I have two copies---one I bought, and one that was given to me as a Christmas present about three weeks later!

The thing I love most about the series is that it can be looked at from a secular point of view as Science Fiction, or as a religous experience. The whole series is an excellent read, and this portion of it is no exception.

The 3rd in a series based on the premise that the millions of people who vanished in an instant have been called "home" to Christ. This 3rd book takes place near the end of the first quarter of the 7 year tribulation, when prophecy says that "the wrath of the Lamb" will be poured out upon the earth.
