It's the fourth book in the Left Behind series. If you've read the other three, you'll have an idea of what this one is about. If you haven't read the previous three, don't take the Bible literally, and/or sure you're not going to be taken up in the Rapture, this will seem more fantasy/ scifi than Biblical.

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.

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.

This is a series that you have to read from the beginning, in the mind set the authors intended...Fiction. Although much is taken from the book of Revelation in the Bible, it is the author's interpretation you are reading, not actual events. That said, it is very hard to keep that in mind when reading this series, because it is so detailed you feel like you are caught up in a real life disaster with eternal consequences.

This book kept me more interested than the previous ones. The times of tribulation are in full swing and the antichrist is really showing his true colors. The wrath of the lamb happened and killed millions of people, now the trumpet judgements are going on. There are some shocking revelations made concerning the Tribulation Force. You have to read it to find out what they are.

I've read this book before but I wanted to get back into the series and I couldn't remember the whole story so I re-read it.

I have to say that I was very entertained by this book. I think that this series is so well written that if you don't believe in the Rapture that you would enjoy the story line.

The characters in this story are so well developed that you can't help but to form a bond with them. The book jumps around a bit, but it is not distracting and it does not deter from the story at all. In fact I think that this is a very well written book.

If you have not read any of the Left Behind books I would encourage you to start at the beginning. Although there is enough past written into this book that you could pick up most of what happened I would imagine that there are little things that add to the story that you would miss if you picked up in the middle.

Overall I think this is a great book and a great series. I'm going to start the next book as soon as I can!

Number four in a great, well thought out series based on the end times of the Bible. I highly suggest starting at book one, especially if you're a fan of series books.

"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."

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.

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.

I really love this series and Soul Harvest (Book 4) is no exception. What I love about these books is that LaHaye and Jenkins don't write to appease, they describe things as they are: shocking, devastating, scary, soul-searching. There are so many things that relate to the current state of the world - the disasters, the acceptable criminal mind, the greed and the ethical and moral belly-flop of our societies. Buck and Rayford are again the heroes, putting their lives on the line to do what needs to be done and taking care of the people they have committed their hearts and minds to.

I have not read this book; it was not claimed from our lost and found at work for a while, so I am saving it from eternal uselessness.
