3 Stars Only Read if you MUST Finish the Series
This novel took me forever to get through. But alas, I finally finished it. Woo-Hoo! I have now completed the entire original left behind saga. As I started reading this series I was drawn in to the character and the storyline. I read constantly, usually finishing a book in three or four days. But by the time this one rolled around I had lost interest. The series is simply too long, and each book has the same formula:

1. The GC oppresses the believers.

2. Some believers are killed.

3. Miracles happen sparing some lives, and those are ignored by the GC.

4. The GC commits war crimes against innocent civilians.

5. One of the spiritual leaders gives a lecture or sermon about the grace of God.

6. Repeat.

It just got old after a while. But, after going through the first 11 books I had to finish. And it was an OK novel, just not one of their best efforts.

5 Stars Glorious Appearing
Glorious Appearing is well written and captured my attention from the first page. I could hardly put the book down until I had read the entire book. The authors capture the attention of the reader immediately. I believe all the books they have written are true to scripture and help us realize what the future holds. We really need to be about the Father's business of winning souls.

2 Stars Jesus Finally Returns, But Not That Great, Really.
Like one previous reviewer noted, the previous book gave you the impression that the Second Coming was mere minutes away, and it turned out to be 200+ pages into the book, and when Jesus *does* come back, 95% of what He says is just Scripture, giving me the impression, at least, He had no personality of His own. When He speaks to a believer, though, it's truly moving to read.

The angels had the same problem, too.

Not the best, really. I'd recommend the third prequel, The Rapture.

2 Stars Impossible
The eschatology of the writers blinds them to the truth. This is because they believe the resurrection is before the tribulation. Jesus said the resurrection is after the tribulation on the last day. All of the parables of Christ teach we must be doing the will of God to be worthy to escape the tribulation. He that speaks lies will not escape regardless of intentions. The greatest deceptions always came through the church.

4 Stars Glorius Appearing
The Book was in great shape when I got it, like new.

I had the opportunity to read the whole series over a two week period of time while recovering from surgery before going back to my 14 hour work days. I purchased the first ten books at a garage sale to have something to do during recovery time and was very pleasantly surprised. The later books tend to be a little more preachy than the earlier editions, that is why the five instead of six star rating. All in all, a great set of books. I did run out of time waiting for the last three editions to be delivered in time for my two week period to read these, and it seemed delivery was slightly slow in coming, and came in exactly reverse order receiving the last book before receiving the Armageddon book so I could not do anything but wait for it to arrive and now I am struggling with available time to be able to complete this series. That is not a complaint by any means because I received these three books from three different sellers and in all three cases I would buy from any one of them again.
