From the beginning to the end this book will keep you on the edge of your seat. This book, just like the previous novels will make it hard to put down. The anti-christ continues his deception and cruelty behind closed doors. His assistants help him and the Christian players continue to carry out their plans to expose him and his cohorts. You must read this whole series to get the full impact of the future we all will surely face.

It is a very good productThe Indwelling: An Experience in Sound and Drama (Left Behind) (Purchased on 01/13/2009)

I did read the books first, then tried to get my husband interested by listening to the books on tape. He couldn't get involved as there was just no excitement in the books on tape. The Audio Dramas, however, are tremendous and keep you interested. He can't wait to listen more. I will say though, if you haven't listened to them in order, and/or have not read the books, you may miss out a lot and will be lost. I fill him in with info from the books because the audio is abridged. As far as the story, it's easy for us to see through Carpathia because we hear everything that is going on, but take it from the point of view of the characters that were taken in. Carpathia only told them what they wanted to hear. An amazing comparison of events when you read Revelations in the Bible.

Yes, these audio dramas are the BEST thing that could happen to Left Behind. The crew that put this together do an awesome job of using the "theater of the mind" to dramatize Tim LaHaye/Jerry Jenkins' New York Times Bestseller Christian fiction novels!

The actors/actresses are wonderful at what they do, and they ALL work for their characters.

I recommend two things before you listen to this: Read the books, and listen to the previous albums in the series first!

Just as a warning, in case parents would want to listen to this in the car or something: This is NOT something for kids. As book-readers know, Nicolae was assassinated in the previous book, and there's a scene where a mortician goes over the corpse (eugh) as well as other action-oriented scenes.

This cd was not what was expected. Sounded like a poorly done version of a video game.

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 site for details on these items, which are also available via Amazon).

I listened to the audio book, and this is the first Left Behind I have heard. I haven't finished reading any of the books, though I did start one. It seemed boring. This audio book was rather boring also. It did not arouse in me a sense of identifying with the so-called Christians, and Carpathia and his henchman, the one who talks with a Brooklyn accent, Fortunato, are both really kind of funny, not frightening at all. They're so easy to see through. I think the authors maybe wanted to sell books, of course, but in order to do that, they wanted to basically scare people, because people seem to like scary books (cf. Stephen King, etc.). But the Indwelling was not scary. It was absurd, unbelievable, and, judging from other books written about the Left Behind series (cf. Lisa Ruby's book), not really in accord with the Bible at all. I know a man who reads all of the Left Behind books, and likes them. He's not unusual in any way, but I think the books give him a sense of having a purpose in life, because if you're one of the few survivors, and you're on the right side, then you kind of stand out from the crowd. And the crowd is otherwise so huge, and, God forbid, what if there is no God, or God is not as we envision It in this particular book, in the Bible even? Then we're nothing (this is the old existential argument, cf. Sartre, Camus, etc.). And who wants to be nothing? So we can be something, somebody, by identifying with the heroes of the Left Behind series. Diximus.
