Rating  - Coming to the end
Although I knew things were going to get dicey in this chapter of the series I wasn't quite ready for what happened in this one. Sorry I'm not going to give it away, just know that the events will set you back in your seat.
Enjoy!
Rating  - Makes the Bible Seem Like a Good Read
I'm not Christian. I'm Agnostic and I picked up the book because I thought it looked interesting and I wanted to learn something about Christianity.
This is perhaps one of the worst books I've ever read. Let me be clear that I am saying nothing against religion in this review. I cant judge that, but I can review this terrible writing. LaHaye and Jenkins seem to have no concept of motivation, logic, or storytelling. It's as if when writing the book they had ideas of where the characters should end up, but then used the first idea that popped into their heads about how that should happen with no critical thought at all.
As stated before, the names of the characters should have given me pause, the most egregous being Chang Wong, a name so stereotyped that I cant believe the authors have ever met an Asian. At this book in the series the world has devolved into a right wing nutjob survivalist fantasy, where the TribForce(...) is living literally underground, in rebellion against the New World Order(who call themselves, wait for it: the New World Order).
The final battle of the Apocalypse is fought on ATV's and horses.
Jesus.
Rating  - It's A Very Good Christian Fiction..Duh!
What's with all the glooming reviews? It's a christian fiction--as pointed out by the authors on the cover themselves. When embarking upon a book, I looked to be entertained and this book clearly does it for me as well as it should for ANY reader. So I defend the book's purpose. I can't put it down and I'm only half way through it--enjoying it in fact.
Choose to believe what spiritual and religious facts and truths you would like. However, if you are inspired to search the truth, then search the inspired Word of God, The Bible; and search to understand God for yourself. Otherwise, take the other book-bashing reviews with a grain of salt and enjoy or be moved by the experience and journey through which the book takes you.
I do recommend reading the entire series as I am doing. The series is not a hard read and you will flow through it very quickly. If you're looking to be entertained, this is a series for you.
Rating - Why continue to be deceived...
Tim LaHaye, Jerry Jenkins, and others in the Pre-Trib circle, such as Ed Hindson, Tommy Ice, Chuck Missler, etc., continue to put forth the same deceptions that Hal Lindsey popularized decades ago. The notion of a pre-tribulation rapture is foreign to scripture, it is foreign to the teachings of the early Church, and it is grooming the Church for destruction through ignorance and lack of preparation for what is really coming. These men are novices and not prophecy "experts" or "scholars" by any stretch of the imagination; they are those who tickle the ears of gullible Christians. Why continue to be deceived? Tim Cohen, in his excellent book, "The AntiChrist and a Cup of Tea," provides biblically sound and testable evidence to show that the coming AntiChrist is known NOW. Not only that, the same author (Tim Cohen) has now put out the strongest presentation on the whole issue of the rapture EVER offered to the saints of God in Christ: "The REAL Rapture". If you really want to know the truth about the timing of the coming rapture, then you need to hear Tim Cohen's "The REAL Rapture" (based on a volume in his forthcoming "Messiah, History, and the Tribulation Period" series (see Prophecy House's web site, prophecyhouse dot com, for details on these items).
