5.0 out of 5 stars Great series - bad price, October 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Left Behind softcover books 1-6 boxed set (Left Behind) (Paperback)

I highly recommend these books, but I can not think of any reason to buy them in a box set when it costs 15% more than purchasing them individually.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great series, lousy price., November 6, 2000

This review is from: Left Behind softcover books 1-6 boxed set (Left Behind) (Paperback)

This is a great series for anyone to have. The individual books are first rate, but I see no reason to pay so much for the collection. If I could, I would give the books five stars but the price of the boxed set one star. Go figure the marketing people!

5.0 out of 5 stars Considering End-Times Books, November 23, 2001

This review is from: Left Behind softcover books 1-6 boxed set (Left Behind) (Paperback)

With all the end-times novels on the market it's probably useful to see a comparison from someone who has read most of them. So here's my take on the matter.

LEFT BEHIND is an action adventure written primarily for Christians with a huge cross-over into the secular market. It sticks very closely to scripture and to prophecy of the time during the Tribulation. There is never any doubt of the authors' position and which characters are good and which are bad. Beyond that, there's been so much said about Left Behind that probably every possible opinion has been expressed. Some love it. Some hate it. Personally, I like the Left Behind series a lot.

THE LAST DAY makes no attempt at all to adhere to scriptural prophecy. It is, in fact, less accurate scripturally than The Omen movies or End of Days. If you want a fun read and don't care whether the story has any connection to scripture, it's probably okay.

THE CHRIST CLONE TRILOGY, my definite favorite among the list, is written for a secular audience with a big cross-over into the Christian market. Through most of the 3 books you don't know what the author's position is or which (if any) of the characters speak for him. Only in the last book do you find out he is a Christian and that he is using his story telling ability to reach the lost with the Gospel and the danger that faces them if they do not accept it.

WE ALL FALL DOWN is a story of a man forced to make decisions about himself and God when faced by undeniable evidence (living through the Tribulation) that the Bible is true. It's an interesting exploration in character but the author's development of the events of the Tribulation is muddled and very thin. The thing most Christians object to about We All Fall Down is the non-stop use of extreme profanity by the main character. It was hard for me to get past all the f-words, and I certainly would not say I enjoyed it, still it made me think.
