5.0 out of 5 stars A new believer, July 1 2003

By

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Left Behind Collection II boxed set: Vol. 5-8 (Paperback)

I have grown up in a christian household and rejected god and christ all along. After becoming interested in the book as an intereting story that i might be able to get a scare out of, a devout believer and good friend of mine gave me the first book, Left Behind, for my birthday.
As i read, i became a believer and i believe the books, even though they are a work fiction, are masterfully written for the very purpose in which i became involved in. I have read quite a few of these reviews, and these books are written not aimed at children, but at ppl who need everything spelled out for them in order to embrace christ.
I am not saying that these books should be considered a replacement for the bible or even taken at face value. But simply they are a tool (one of many) for non-believers to start a journey. A place where annonomously they can learn the basic fundamentals what christianity is about and decide for themselves if this is what they want in their lives.
And of course, once non-belivers have read these books, their own path and study will lead them in a direction that either mirrors the teachings and ideas of LaHaye and Jenkins or some other variation of this faith or not at all. Either way, these books are a tool that will lead ppl to discover their own unique relationship with god, not necisarily a tool for the authors to recruit members to thier own faction, as some have claimed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Reading for pleasure, that's all., April 19 2003

By

Scott E Reinecke (Dallas, Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Left Behind Collection II boxed set: Vol. 5-8 (Paperback)

LaHaye and Jenkins have chosen a divine source for their series. With the choice came a HUGE responsibility with regard to how public perception of this interpretation could shape readers' views on Christianity. While religion is generally an important factor in most people's lives, it's not the only one that deserves attention. Getting involved with this series not only challenges the reader to consider their religious beliefs on a more comprehensive level, but it also demands that consideration be allowed for how differently the same text can be relayed via the mind of an author. If you choose to follow these books, please remember that they are BOOKS, not the Bible, or for that matter, anything remotely deserving of absolute faith. Read for pleasure, and think for yourself.

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining but a bit over the top...., Jun 11 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Left Behind Collection II boxed set: Vol. 5-8 (Paperback)

First let me say that I do enjoy this series so far. It is very entertaining and provides a good "modern" interpretation of The Holy Bible and the Book of Revelation in particular. These books are quick reads and the story flows very well. My only problem with the series is that the authors cleary use these books to preach their beliefs. While I probably should have expected it, it was never the less dissapointing. That in it self would not be that bad, except for the fact that they write situations and events into the story (that, in some cases, provide nothing and take a way from the story as a whole) that simply do not reflect real life(like one of the main couples that get together in the story, one is a 20 year old college student, the other a 30 year old international writer, both virgins....I'm sure it happens every day). The authors make their views clear on things like pre-marital sex, abortion, and others and also appear very condescending toward other religious faiths and belief systems. I consider myself a very spiritual Christian who shares many of their beliefs but finds myself disturbed by what I perceive as their attitude toward other ways of thinking. I KNOW THAT THAT IS THE POINT BEHIND THESE BOOKS. My point is that the story suffers because of the authors attempt at preaching to the reader. I've met, know, and am friends with many people who share the same beliefs as those "True Christians" in these books, are very active in their respective churches, and take their Bible study very seriously, and truthfully, a small portion of them are some of the worst people I know. My point to the authors is that if God would accept into Heavan, those who trully accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and believe in his forgiveness, but abandon say, a Zulu cheiftan who had never heard the name Jesus before but is an unbelievable human being who helps his fellow man and leads a blessed life.......I don't know if I want to be in that Heavan.
