THIS MAY BE CONSIDERED A SPOILER (although considering what the subject matter of teh book is I don't know how) SO PROCEED WITH CAUTION... I'm halfway through The Glorious Appearing...I cried during some of the parts where Jesus was speaking directly to the people...especially when He was speaking to the children and they cried "He knows my name!" What a wonderful book.

Roxip - It took me all of four hours to get through this book and I was beaming throughout the entire book - it just made me feel so good!!! I've just started reading Tim LeHaye's next series titled "Babylon Rising"

I have been listening in the mornings on the drive in to work this week to a taped interview with LaHaye and Jenkins on a local Christian radio station - it has been fascinating to hear how they developed the books and the storylines (for instance Jenkins does all of the "fiction" writing) and their take on the characters and the actual events as they perceive them.

Roxi - that's interesting that Jerry did the fiction writing because Tim's new books are fiction based as well - ahhh, I forgot, there is another co-writer, so he must be doing the religion of it all...

This is my first time in the Library so if this has been posted forgive me. Recently, I read that the authors (Tim and Jerry) filed suit to get the rights for the movies back. Apparently, they're disappointed in the two Left Behind movies. I know myself and my, 19 y/o, and brand new PFC Marine, son really was disappointed in the movie version of the books. I cannot wait to get the last book. My mom passed away a few months ago and I just could not bring myself to buy the book...I think I might be ready now after reading the above posts. Looking fwd to chatting with everyone. Take care and God Bless!

i was totally disappointed with the first 'left behind' movie and didn't bother to rent the second one. if i hadn't read the book, i would have had no idea what was going on with the first movie--plus, it left out at least half the story! i don't blame the authors for wanting the rights back. i like kirk cameron, but he was totally wrong for playing the part of buck. now, whoever played the pilot father (rayfield) was what i pictured him looking like, but the movie just went no where...

I agree and that is not how I pictured Chloe either. I have yet to watch the second movie because the first one fell so flat.

I just finished book #9 and starting on The Remnant now. I love the books but I was very disappointed in the movie. I only saw the first one and it was awful. I should be getting the last 2 books soon. I can't wait!

i think it's best not to watch the movies. i'll bet we all have an idea of what the characters look like and seeing something different really throws me off! like i said above, rayfield was how i pictured him, but after seeing the first movie whenever i read another book it really bothered me to see mike from 'growing pains' in my head whenever i read buck's name!

Blech. I try not to think of that as I read, Tabby. LOL I just finished book 10 and book 12 is sitting right here taunting me. I have yet to receive book 11. This is driving me crazy, which hubby says is a very short trip.

Has anybody heard a rumor about two new Left Behind books coming out? I was working in my church library last night and somebody mentioned it...?

Okay, I answered my own question by going to the Left Behind website...the new book (The Rising) is going to be a prequel.

I bought The Rising and read it this weekend. There are going to be two more prequels in this "countdown to the rapture" series, one will be released on 11-15-05 and the last on 6-6-06. The current book covers Rayford from his childhood through early marriage and birth of two children. It alternates with focus on the mother of Nicolae, her desire to have a baby and the lengths she went through to have a baby, then covers Nicky until his late teens. I don't want to give anything away, but lets just say Nicky was a truly evil child. It was interesting--I'm not sure how much there is to cover for two more books, though...

Cathie, glad to know that somebody is reading them. That is my next buy, unless my church library gets a copy (I volunteered to work there now so I get to see books come in and can claim them first...LOL!).

Since the series ended, I decided to read the entire thing one right after another. Boom, Boom, Boom. Anyway, I get all of my books through the library, and very carefully reserved them in order of publication. Of course the library messed that up...lol (Okay, me too, maybe. I checked out 5 books the first reserve pickup.) LSS, I'm finally back on track with the Desecration, and have the Remnant in the bag. In the midst of all this reading chaos, I find there's a prequel now...lol I just returned it, and can't wait for #2.
