I agree Stacey & Spygirl... what a cliffhanger, and I can't believe that we have to wait an entire YEAR to find out the ending!!! I read it in about 8 hours total - what a great book!!!

Stacey, I too believe some of the fundamentals of this book - the scary thing is taking a look at our world today and drawing parallels to this book of the Bible... eerie...

I also believe in the tenets of the books, and there is a part of this last book that absolutely freaked me out (read below for those who have read the book).

***Small Spoiler***
At the point in the book when New Babylon is in darkness and Carpathia schedules that big meeting in Baghdad, did anyone else catch where the meeting was held? It was held in a hotel that was built over the top of the old museum in Bagdad...the very same museum that was looted and destroyed last month. Talk about freaky. The looting happened about a week or so before I read the book so it was fresh in my memory when I read that.

I know, Spy - it's rather freaky... Did you know that in Jerusalem, they're building all these underground tunnels and such... it's just a little too eerie... Great books though!

Can someone tell me the names of the books in the right succession? I've only read book #1 and I want to make sure I read them in the right order. Thanks!

I had bought book #1 about 2 years before I actually took the time to sit down and read it. Once I did...I couldn't get my hands on the rest of the series fast enough. Although I don't agree with everything that has been written ...they certainly will make you take a step back and examine your own spirituality. For all of those that would like to read the series but are having a difficult time finding them....save yourself time and money and shop online. You can find used books on Amazon.com for under $5 each. Thats how I have purchased all of mine, and they have been in wonderful, mint condition! ENJOY!!!

Spygirl, I've been unable to get "Armageddon" in hardback from my library yet, as there's a long waiting-list for it, but I did listen to the book on CD. I was dismayed by the ending of this installment of "Left Behind," but I know where the authors are headed with this, so I guess the demise of several favorite characters was to be expected.

Has anyone read "The Fourth Reich"? It was published before the first "Left Behind" novel and compresses the entire 12 novels that Jenkins and LeHaye are doing into one very well-done book.

Bobbie, I haven't bought used from Amazon before, only new. Don't you have to give the seller your home address? I've been hesitant for that reason. Thanks in advance for any info.

I also checked out the used books on Amazon. Sounds like a great deal but I also have the same reservations as Sia.

Sia, do you know who wrote The Fourth Reich?

For my birthday, hubby ordered several of the Left Behind books from Amazon's used book selections and couldn't be happier. The books arrived in great shape and no problems at all. The books cost $1.99 each and the shipping was around $2.49. I'm almost finished with Tribulation Force and can't wait to start Nicolae.

Sia - if you would like to borrow my copy, I would gladly lend it to you...

Djgirl, I've read "Armageddon" already; got it from the library after I borrowed the condensed book-on-cd of the same title. I also have a copy of "The Fourth Reich." Thanks for offering, though. I don't know when I got it, but obviously I don't visit this thread that often! Thanks for your generous offer, Djgirl. I read it in two days and returned "Armegeddon" to the library. I want to discuss the ending of the book, though.

I have a feeling I'm gonna go thru this series very quickly. I finished Tribulation Force 2 nights ago and now I am 3/4 thru Nicolae. Have Soul Harvest sitting here waiting for me. I have to get hubby on the ball to order some more. I love these books! It gets a little sappy for my taste at times but I love the premise. I was raised to believe the Bible literally and Revelations was always the most fascinating. Scary, but fascinating. And the things that are happening in the world today make it even scarier.

Twinkie, one of the reasons you'll go through the series quickly is that there are only about half as many words per page when compared to other books. Take a look. Wide margins and big spacing between lines. Reminds me of my tricks when writing a 5 page paper for high school.

Bob, just checked this thread for the first time in ages! LOL To me it wouldn't matter if the books were 3,000 pages each. I'd still read each one non-stop til I finished it. I love these books! This is a series that I'm going to hate to see it end. Just like Lord of the Rings and Ann Rice's Lestat series and her Mayfair Witches series.

Can someone give me short synopsis of what these books are about, thanks! You guys seem so excited about them and now you've peeked my curiousity.

Frogichik, The books are a fictionalized action story based on a fairly conservative Christian interpretation of the Book of Revelations in The Bible.

It's a pretty good story, even if you don't completely agree with the theology. :)

Frogi, keep in mind that you have to read them in order, so start with Left Behind.
A friend of mine didn't know that it was a series, not separate stories, and started with the 4th book. I could have wrung her neck, lol

I recieved a e-newsletter to day from leftbehind.com that puts the realese date of "Glorious Reappearing" at Easter 2004! Can't wait to find out the answer to "Armageddon's" cliffhanger.

That's great Twinkie. You have plenty of time to catch up before the last one. I'm going to read all of them over again, so I'll be refreshed and ready when the last one comes out.
