Siege of Petra - By: M. A. Ramos, 07 Oct 2007 
This the ninth bookin the Left Behind series kept me turning pages. This book is actually filled with adventure. Though the characters are still two dimensional, the writing very simple, & the text font large. It was a page-turner & the best book of this series so far.
In this book we see the Antichrist desecrate the Holy Temple of Israel. And the Mark of the beast being officially placed on worshipers. And the first two bowls of wrath are poured upon the world. The changing of water to blood again & the worshipers of the beast who have the mark inflicted with sores & boils.
The Tribulation Force uses the Co-op to get all the pilots they can into Israelin order to help with the mass Exodus of the Jews out of Jerusalem. And the Chosen People of God who have accepted Christ come under his divine protection. And we see this protection as the forces try to stop these evacuees from reaching Petra. And once again when the Global Community Military tries to assault Petra. The book ends with a devastating attack on Petra that the results are left as a cliffhanger.
As the Tribulation Continues.... - By: Mark Baker, 22 Jan 2003 Life doesn't get any easier for the Tribulation Force. These Tribulation Christians are againin the middle of Bible prophecy, & just trying to survive.
Buck & Chaim have gone to Jerusalem to lead believing Jews to the refuge God has prepared for the rest of the Tribulation. But to do that, they must face Nicolae as he plans to defile the temple. Rayford must carry out the plans to ferry these Christians to their refuge, placing himself & many othersin danger along the way. Chang has to deal with the ramifications of having both the mark of God & the mark of Antichrist. And Chloe investigates a strange site near the safe house, which leads to great danger for everyonein the Trib Force. Meanwhile, God starts to unleash his wrath on those who have taken the mark of the beast.
People seem to be divided by these books, either loving them or hating them. Personally, I enjoy the story while finding the writing & character development shallow. Still, for fans of the series, this book is a must read. It's fast paced, with many jaw-dropping scenes. And the cliffhanger is the worst of the series to date.
If you aren't already a fan of these books, there's nothing here to change your mind. If you're already a fan, this book will entertain you & leave you anxious for the next.
Desecration - By: , 16 Jul 2002 The Desecration book 9.... when last we visited the Trib-Force, I said, 'Head for the hills!' , but these guys don't know the meaning of retreat. That's good for the cause-I'll tell you now I have some trouble getting behind the picture of Carpathia as some kind of buffoon riding a pig & all that-He seems to know that God isin control & cuts some deals; which, by the way he crawfishes on at the first opportunity. We lose some friends by deceit, letting us know that Carpathias' minions are not the dense dumb bunnies we may stereotype them as. Praises to the team of Jenkins & Lahay for the handling of the Chang character. Wonderful & insightful... inspiring. There is a lot morein here for the fans of LEFT BEHIND. Like I said, don't be fooled by Carpathias' foolish antics. He is out to Kill- & Kill he will. One of the great nasty charactersin modern literature... One that is to come. If you aren't ready, get ready. I think truth will be much more painful than this mild fiction
Also recommended: The Price of Immortality is a book that should be read by everyone at least ONCE!
Not the best - By: , 03 Jul 2002 Glenn Kleier's THE LAST DAY is the definitive Endtimes novel, if you're looking for a thought-provoking readin this genre. THE LAST DAY is not meant to be biblically accurrate, I don't feel. Rather, it is intended to make the reader think, & to provoke healthy debate about many important & frightening topics that affect us all. It is by far a more entertaining, realistic & thrilling read than any of the LEFT BEHIND series.
Unlike Last Days - this is based on Prophesy - By: Kyle Cottington, 31 Dec 2001 
What some of you reviewers are forgetting, is that this series is based on someones interpretation of the events that are prophesised to happen at the end of the world & the return of Christ.
I found the book a good read & would encourage those of you who have not done so before, to pick up a bible & read the last book of the bible - revelation.
