9 CDs/11.25 hours (UNABRIDGED)

Great earthquakes have rocked the earth, killing millions of people and leaving widespread devastation. As world leader Nicolae Carpathia sends out his forces to restore order, pilot Rayford Steele finds it increasingly difficult to work for the man he has identified as humanity’s ultimate enemy. Steele’s thoughts are with the Tribulation Force, a ragtag group of true believers in Christ—as are the thoughts of reporter Buck Williams as he desperately searches for his wife, who disappeared in the earthquake. Through the increased despair and destruction of the Antichrist’s rise, the Tribulation Force finds strength in scriptural assurances of a great harvest of souls in the last days.

This fourth book in the best-selling Left Behind® saga is filled with spectacular visions of tribulation and faith. Richard Ferrone’s deep, thoughtful narration captures every battle in a gripping fight for spiritual truth.

Amazon.com Review

Having survived the wrath of the Lamb--a global earthquake in the 21st month of the Tribulation--pilot Rayford Steele and reporter Buck Williams now embark on a journey of absorbing adventure and Christian triumph. Soul Harvest is book four in the enormously popular Left Behind series (seven books are planned in all), based on those who are left behind in the Rapture. Written with the same gripping pace of Tom Clancy and John Grisham (film rights have already been sold for the first two books), the authors take us to Iraq, America, underground shelters, and the bottom of the Tigris river as Steele and Williams search for loved ones. Meanwhile, biblical prophecies are fulfilled at every turn, including the great soul harvest. For many Christian followers, this series has become a tangible and thrilling testament to the Book of Revelations. --Gail Hudson --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

From Library Journal

The fourth book in the "Left Behind" series (Nicolae, Tyndale, 1997) brings back Rayford Steele and Buck Williams, staunch members of the Tribulation Force, an evangelical group fighting evil Nicolae Carpathia. An earthquake has left both men searching for their loved ones while they attempt to bring about Nicolae's downfall. Readers of the earlier books should be thrilled at the return of their heroes, and the action and intrigue here certainly matches that in the rest of the series. Characterization, especially of the female characters, is thin, but that shouldn't dull fans' demand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another in a great series..., October 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Soul Harvest: The World Takes Sides (Left Behind, Book 4) (Hardcover)

After putting my wife off for several months to read 'Left Behind,' I have quickly raced through the first four books in the series, ending recently with Soul Harvest.

This book matches the intensity and excitment of the prior three installments, using the environment outlined in the Book of Revelations to tell the continuing story of Rayford Steele, Buck Williams and the rest of the Tribulation Force.

Without giving anything away, this installment has enough twists and turns to keep the reader interested from start to finish. Oddly, being a Christian and knowing where all of this is going, does nothing to dull the excitement of following the story as it develops.

The vivid writing of Lahaye and Jenkins makes it possible to visually put yourself into the scene and almost experience the subject matter firsthand.

If you are a believer and have not read any of these books, you are not doing yourself justice. These are great writings and do a great job of bringing the Word of God to life in a new and vibrant manner.

1.0 out of 5 stars Christ Clone Trilogy is SO MUCH BETTER, August 31, 2001

By 

Ruth (The Land of Oz) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Soul Harvest: The World Takes Sides (Left Behind No. 4) (Paperback)

I stopped reading this series after #4 (Soul Harvest). I kept reading Left Behind hoping it would get better. It didn't. I also read (actually started reading) We All Fall Down, but there the foul language was SO EXCESSIVE I couldn't keep going. Finally I read the books of The Christ Clone Trilogy (why do I feel like Goldilocks here?) and it was "just right!" Actually it was GREAT! So if you're tired of Buck and Rayford playing James Bond, and all the females in the LB world cooing, have a look at The Christ Clone Trilogy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not complex, but enjoyable, December 21, 1999

"phlange" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Soul Harvest: The World Takes Sides (Left Behind, Book 4) (Hardcover)

Before I read this book, I spent a good deal of time looking through the reviews--mainly the 3 stars and less, as I was interested in the downside of this novel. I'm glad I did, because I read it with a more critical eye than if I'd chosen to read the serie's cheerleaders' reviews. I must admit, I enjoyed this one as much as any of the others. If you read it for escapism, as is the intention of most series, you don't really want a lot of details bogging down the flow of the story. The authors accomplish this feat. Their point, I'm sure, is to both entertain and inform. It is far more accessible and understandable to the layman than is The Revelation. It will also be an aid to those who actually sit down and read the biblical version. The authors, though at times in the previous books tend to make the main characters superhero-like, have done a good job with showing the vulnerability of the big three in this one. Poor Chloe has been beaten up pretty badly two books in a row! Doesn't matter how she looks, Buck loves her just the same. The books are addictive, and I'm probably going to have to run to Sam's Club and get the next one. I can't wait to decode Amanda's correspondences with Nicolae. I had a funny feeling about her in the previous book.
