The Glorious Appearing

I read like 7 or eight chapters so far.[/quote]


Get to the GOOD STUFF! Jump to the center of the book! I did, read to the end, then went back and picked up the beginning. I really enjoyed the portrayal of Jesus. It seemed very true to His character. It even showed His sense of humor in one place.

No, I wasn't disappointed. I knew the whole original Trib Force would only have a few survivors. Besides, those who died were resurrected and got to have a hand in the festivities at the end, so nobody really was gone for very long, a maximum of 7 years. BTW, can we discuss openly now? Anyone reading this thread knows by now that we've read it and the spoiler warnings cover the first page.

I'm already past the middle. And lovin' every chance I got at school to read. Although everyone kept askin' "What are you reading?" and like always I lift the book so they can see the title. But then I have to explain that it's the 12th book in the Left Behind Series, and get this. One person never even heard of LeftBehind! It suprised me, 'cause I've never met someone who hasn't heard of it.

Wow!!! I just finished reading the book last night. I was so amazed at how the book ended. I had pictured in my mind the "basic overview" but boy I had never even imagined the story ending the way it did. I can't even imagine what a challenge that had to have been for Jerry Jenkins, having to write something so vivid yet accurate. The book overall left me with A LOT of questions. In the previous books I'd always wondered what happened to the characters but now I have more questions about "The End" then I've ever had. I was truly amazed at the writer's visions.

YES it was an awesome book!!!
I read in 1 day, I just couldn't put it down. I was disappointed, but then I thought, (SPOILER)the series began and ended with the same person.

I am looking forward to the sequal. I was disappointed because they only focused over that set of characters at the end and not Mac, Tsion, Chaim, Chang, etc. Oh well. It was so neat when they all came back there at the end.

I can't believe it is over. But can't wat for the kids to continue. That ends in September. What a year!!

Matt, I think I'm misunderstanding you. Are you saying the kids series ends in September?? They are only at the halfway point now. I can't see them ending anytime soon.

[SG15Z]

I finished it! Loved it. Can't wait for the sequel. Also for the next kids book.

I thought Nicolae would give Jesus more resistance to his judgment than he did, by maybe trying to feebly muscle his way through the crowd before surrendering after a couple of feet.

Once Nicolae was no longer indwelt by satan he probably lost a lot of his pomp-had the wind knocked out of him, so to speak. I think they had Leon behaving in a manner that was characteristic of his personality. I also like the way they had Jesus behaving during this. Jesus was not acting wrathful, nor gloating, nor acting like we probably would. He was matter of fact and got the job done without undue ceremony.

Ok, I'm confused. Do you or do you not know that there will be a sequel to GA?

[Jan]

Yes, there will be - it will deal with the Millennial Kingdom. <><

I think alot of people don't view the sequel and prequel as part of the series. The "12" are the series and these others are just additional books. That kind of how I view it.
