Rating  - What will The Mark be now?
Poorly written, rehashed tribulation garbage. Now what is LaHaye going to do now that the earliest known copy of Revelation (late Third Century CE) states the number of the beast as 616 and not 666? Maybe god is mathematically challenged.
Rating  - Christian propaganda? Yeah Right!
First I have to say that Mark Moore has it wrong. This book may be Christian, but it is not propaganda. It tells about something that I (and many others) believe will happen.
Mark says that it is "ludicrous" to believe that the world would go into chaos if all of the Christians disappeared. Yeah right! Let's see millions of people around the world disappear at the same time and without warning, yet not have chaos!
I think that Mark's accusations are what's ludicrous. "An evil religion perpetuated by zealous idiots"?!? Give me a break! Christians are as normal as anyone else.
In the Bible, the book of Revelation takes only about "20 pages" because it tells what is going to happen, yet does not put the events into actual happenings. The Left Behind books are much longer because they put the happenings into real life happenings.
One more. Mark says that there are no non-Christian records of Jesus. Wrong again! There was a historian named Josephus who lived at about the same time as Jesus and who mentioned Him in his writings.
As for the people who say that it goes againt the Bible, that is not true. And besides, the purpose of the books is not just to explain the New Testament prophesies. Also, the writers are not trying to lead you from the truth and they are definitely not being used by Satan.
The books have to present a feeling of God's anger against non-Christians because He WILL be angry. He will have provided them with the way to salvation for so long that there should be no reason to hold out, thus He will be angry at them. Back off on these books. They are not misleading.
As for the quality of the book? I found that it was good, but that it could have been better. The first few books had a good writing quality, but the farther the series went, the less apparent that good writing quality was. Even so, I would still recommend this book and the others in the series. They are definitely "page-turners" that you do not want to put down. Read and enjoy.

doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires; and will turn away their ears from the truth, and will turn aside to myths." 2 Timothy 4:3-4
This verse was written by Paul almost 2000 years ago to warn the Christians to guard their hearts from false teachings that will arise from among the Church. - "and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking preserve things, to draw away their disciples after them." - Acts 20:30-31
As a servant of the Lord, I feel strongly compelled by His Spirit to warn my fellow Christians of the false doctrine being taught by Tim LaHaye. This man and his partner are being used by Satan himself to decieve millions of Christians across the nation concerning the truth and the end times of this earth, and this is making me sick. Tell me why Tim LaHaye, who has never studied theological doctrine or mastered the Bible's teachings, has sold millions upon millions of books regarding prophecy. Prophecy, a subject which has been revered and studied intentisively by theological scholars and Christians alike since the time of Christ. The verse that I started with clearly tells us why. If Tim LaHaye really loves God, than he would respect His Holy Word including God's sacred prophecies. But instead of writing a book strictly on the Holy prophecies of God to bring Him the glory, Tim chooses to envelop God's sacred prophecies with his fictitious novels known as the Left Behind Series. Now what were his motives for doing this? To interpret the scriptures correctly, or to sell millions of novels and receive the wealth and fame for himself? For those of you who read his novels, did you desire to truly know what the Bible says concerning prophecies or did you enjoy having your ears "tickled" by his fanciful writing. "but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires."
In the past year, a man completed devoted to God, has taken up the monumental task of writing a new book to help clear the confusion behind the modern view of Biblical prophecies. The book is called End Time Delusions by Steve Wohlberg, and unfortunaley, it is directed at refuting many of the false teachings endorsed by the Left Behind novels. Mr. Wohlberg has been earnestly studying Biblical prophecies for the past 25 years. Everything he comments on is strongly supported by the scriptures and he encourages every reader to evaluate the Bible before establishing an opinion. The book is concise (220 pages), uses simple language, and is jam-packed with years upon years of extensive research. For the person that leads a busy lifestyle, and doesn't have the time to tackle an 800 page theological book, this book is for you.
May the Lord be with you as you continue to search the scriptures for the truth. "For the truth will set you free!"
Rating - Sermon on the Mount
This book is straight out of the Old Testament. Those who follow these books should sit down and carefully read the New Testament. That contains a message of love and acceptance. The place in the New Testament where Jesus gets angry is in the temple where the money changers are attempting to steal from others. He accepted Mary Magdalen. Did he cast her out and call her a sinner and turn his back on her? No! His is a message of love and acceptance. Those who darken it with fear and judgment should be ashamed of themselves. They call themselves "Christians" and then spit on what he taught us.
Pride goes before the fall!
