I bought the first book, "Left Behind", a year ago.

The only thing that kind of wavered me from the books was the whole "Rapture of the Church" thing.

I don't like reading books that make me more confused about the end times in general. And it lost my interest in about the middle of the book, too. =/

I guess if you like the dialogue and ignore some of the writer's ideas you may not agree with, it's a fine read.

Though, it may be a tad bit overrated, but that's just my personal opinion.

They're not all truth?? What on earth do you mean?? I read about ten or twelve of those Left Behind novels, and the stuff about Christ being our Lord and Redeeming-Saviour is ALL TRUE, LOL!!!

I think what they were talking about was the part about the Rapture mainly. A lot of mature Christians know so much about doctrine and the Bible, that they tend to not read novels because they are disappointed when the author doesn't agree with their doctrine. Besides, the Rapture is not completely explained in the Bible. There are lots of things we don't know about it.

I, for one, don't want Left Behind to influence me as to what will happen in the last days. I haven't figured out all that yet. But, then others like only novels and it doesn't bother them to read them. I think it would not be such a bad thing to read sometime. But first I'd like to form my own belief about it. They were only talking about the Rapture, or end times parts of the book, which is what it's all about I guess. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Bonnie
