Amazon.com Review

Starting just a few days after Jesus Christ snatched the faithful to heaven in The Vanishings (the first book in the Left Behind: The Kids series), Through the Flames opens with our four teen heroes shacked up in Judd's abandoned house. Judd, Vicki, and Lionel are still trying to convince Ryan that he should accept Christ if he knows what's good for him--Judd even makes Ryan go to church and Bible study as a condition of living with them. ("As long as you live under my roof, you follow my rules....") But even bigger problems are brewing. The four must stay on the lookout for the Antichrist, whom their Bible mentor Bruce says will trigger seven years of tribulation once he signs a pact with Israel. And Lionel has to investigate the mysterious circumstances of his drug-addled uncle's supposed death.

The Evangelical Christian science fiction series Left Behind: The Kids is a youth-oriented story line based on Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim LaHaye's bestselling Left Behind. (Ages 9 to 12) --Paul Hughes --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Im glad Im going to be left behind, December 12, 1999

By 

A. Girdich (Orlando, Florida, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Through the Flames (Left Behind: The Kids #3) (Mass Market Paperback)

Amazing, simply amazing. Its amazing to see how two authors can capture such a disturbing event from a kids point of view. This book is my favorite book out of the Left Behind -The Kids- series for many reasons. For one, I can relate to it in some ways because it deals with kids my age who go through terrible times and at the same time it is encouraging to know that kids my age could brave losing their family and friends. Its also astonishing that kids my age can help out to keep violence off the street when people say that the youth have so much violence. In the -sting- the kids help catch some criminals but you have to read the book to find out what really happened. The book has to do with four kids and their lives, and what happens to them, like Ryan getting chased by Leroy or Loinel trying to save his uncle who is his only family left or Vicky and Jed in the sting. Overall, this book is one of the best books I have read because it gives me a greater out look on what will happen afer the rapture and to the people who will be left behind.

5.0 out of 5 stars for kids, yes...for adults....why not?!?, July 3, 2001

By 

"cykat" (La Follette, Tennessee USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Through the Flames (Left Behind: The Kids #3) (Mass Market Paperback)

These books are great for ANYONE who is a Left Behind fan, and/or a Christian.

If you read them as adults they are a tad, just a tad slow in places but they tie in very nicely into the books for adults but have a "stand alone" merit in their own right!

I'm so very happy to have these books at the ready for my nieces and nephews to read!!!
