I've read all of the Left Behind Series and the Left Behind Kids Series, and I like them all. I was so engrossed in the Remnant at the end; it keeps you hanging! Adults and teens should read this series; they will surely love it.

I think they could have combined the last couple of books. I am having a hard time finishing this book.

I have read all 10 books in this ongoing series and I have been totally absorbed in every book. I think they give you a clear view of what the end times are going to be like and really make you think about what you are doing with your life. I would recommend these books to everyone.

I've enjoyed most of these "Left Behind" books, but the last couple have been slow and boring. "The Remnant" has been no exception. I read the first 150 or so pages but was so bored that I couldn't finish. I was extremely disappointed in this book.

Leave it to LaHaye and Jenkins to summon the spirit of revelation in a provocative novel that finds the futuristic world in the disheaveled midst of the Tribulation Period. This book smacks of realism and sets up the reader for yet another story in the ongoing series, Left Behind. I also suggest you get a copy of Kenn Gividen's • THE PRAYER OF HANNAH •

I have read all ten of the books published to date in the Left Behind series. The main reason for my reading is to be familiar with the works so many persons in my congregation are reading. LaHaye's view of the end times reads into the Bible a timeline theology that the Bible does not promote. LaHaye and Jenkins have succeeded however, in making a mint from their sensationalized presentation.
The only redeeming point of this book, and others in the series, is that it encourages persons to be ready for the bodily return of Jesus Christ, which is very much a biblical event that will occur in the future. LaHaye leaves no doubt here as to how a person can become a follower of Christ. He clearly explains the gospel in a way that is easily understood and readily accepted.
If all you want is a good Christian fiction series that provides a clear presentation of the need to follow Christ, then read this book. If you want a book on what the Bible says about the end times however, then save your time and money and invest them elsewhere. The soteriology of LaHaye and Jenkins is solid, but their eschatology is shabby and simply doesn't square with Scripture.

The city of Petra become refuge for millions of believers — the remnant — where they await the Glorious Appearing. They suffer from internal strife and a bombing raid by the Global Community. The remnant looks for miraculous escape while the colony of believers in Chicago are forced to flea.
Meanwhile, the Global Community continues its persecution of believers around the world as the blood-thirsty anti-Christ, Nicolae Carpathia, seeks to consolidate his power and erase every trace of opposition.
Last minute escapes, encountering plagues and evading their persecutors keep the Tribulation Force on constant alert.
But it’s not the end. LaHaye and Jenkins have left room for another installment of their series.
Meanwhile, in the “here-and-now” this reviewer eagerly recommends the new book,

I've read all of the books in the Left Behind series, and have trememdously enjoyed them. But the last couple of books have been slow and the story has dragged. The Remnant was no different, though the story did begin to move more quickly toward the end. The first 250 or so pages cover the period of a day. The remaining 150 pages take you to within one year of the Second Coming. With one year left, I would think the next book would be much more dramatic and an exciting, action-filled story.
