Christian Book and Music Reviews

Of all writers I have read, few have had the ability to ground me in order to finish reading their books, as Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye have done with The Left Behind books. The last time that happened to me was when I read The Testament, by John Grisham. Now, here I am again with a feeling of deja vu. Only this time, instead of just one excellent book, I have twelve in a row. Weehaa!

From the 12-book series, I have already read the first three: Left Behind, Tribulation Force, and Nicolae. The latter is the most explosive so far. Literally, it is a thriller from cover to cover. You simply cannot put these books down, until you’re done with them! And when you’re done with one, you want to jump to the next in line, and the next… and the next… as if the books are iron-made and your hands are magnets!

In my humble opinion, The Left Behind series are not just entertaining - they also have helped me understand better the sometimes implicit and not-so-clear messages of the Book of Revelation, as I consider the former a sort of representation of what’s in the latter. I recommend The Left Behind books to anyone who likes a well-written plot, regardless of their faiths, doctrines or religious beliefs. Paraphrasing the critics, when reviewing a must-have book, I’d give them a two-thumbs up. And if I had three hands, I’d make it three-thumbs up! I would love to review all the books seperately, but I can’t seem to seperate myself from them for long enough to write one! Check it out below!
