book 12 of the left behind series.
I always buy/get these books as soon as they come out because I love to read them very much.
In a short review I would say I was disappointed with the ending of this book. Up to about book 10 in the series the books really held my interest. The last one seemed rushed and like they were trying to meet a deadine. This one read very choppy.
I know they were trying to stay biblically accurate but they had interwoven a great deal of scripture in the book that kind of threw off the flow of what was happening. I know they needed the scripture to defend their "theory" of end times but I found myself just skipping over it and continuing to read the book again.
They (the authors) took many liberties in this book, since there is the least amount of reference (the bible) for them to draw from, they made a lot of assumptions. I guess at this point they had to come up with some sort of ending and utililzed a little fiction and liberty.
The series for me was a 10/10
this book, probably the hardest to read in the series, and the worst of them all
5/10

Hmm.
This was always the book i was the most nervous about. It is the conclusion to the series (despite the sequel coming out) and as a Christian, this is the EVENT that our lives are leading to: the second coming of Christ. But, unlike The Act of the Apostles, the Passion of the Christ, or even Revelation...it is difficult to imagine what this will truly be like and as RTPD said, there isn't enough biblical support to build the Event from scripture.
I fear that no matter what Jenkins could have written, there would have been a let down...because how do you describe the return of God in all of his Glory, the event that the entire New Testament is pointing to, what Paul talks about at length?
I'm interested to see how it is pulled off, but i don't have the greatest amount of hope in the execution.
