 Subject: Left Behind
Message:
Have any of you read this? I've heard a lot about it and checked it out from the library. It's very engrossing in the beginning - I'm only on chapter 5. Does this book become sacreligious?
Thanks Barb, for letting us use your boards for chatting about everything from alligators to zebras.

Moi I have read the full series. I have them all and even if you (anyone) was not of the same head, it is a riviting read. I waited on the next volume as though I were an addict! I also purchased the books that followed. Those with regards to reasoning the scriptures, etc. Excellent series, well written, best, most engrossing "story line"....It has it all.
My Daughter in law has them right now but I will get them back from her, (she's finished with them), and I will send them on to you. You can enjoy them all and just ship them back when you are finished. How does that sound?

I have heard of them but never read them. I have heard great things about the entire series.

Wow, thank you, Barb! I would appreciate that.
Let me check and see if the library has them all though, it might cost a small fortune in shipping charges. I am really loving the book so far. I can imagine just what those people are feeling who were left behind. What an eye opener! Got me reallllly thinking about my own self, ya know? Is believing really enough, or do you need to act on your beliefs... live the Christ part of Christianity. Just sooo much to think about. I'm hoping they are fabulous books as I want my kids to read them. Part of homeschooling is they always have a reading assignment going. They have 1 book that they choose, and 1 that I choose. At all times. Does that seem excessive? I mean, they are not non-stop reading of course but I just feel so strongly about it.
I just got back from the market. Meg, my daughter, is quite the cook. You all know about her pumpkin carrot cake. It was such a hit at Thanksgiving! She had sent a slice up the street to this very dear lady we know. She insists that we try out all our new recipes on her ;) Anyway, she loved it so much that Meg baked an entire cake just for her as a Christmas gift. We gave it to her a few days before Christmas. So, what does she do? She buys Meg a cookbook for Christmas. Each recipe has only 4 ingredients. Tonight Meg wanted to make a honey chicken recipe from that book so we had to make a market run. Plus we needed milk, bread etc and today was payday!
I'll let ya'll know how it turns out.
Barb, thanks again for your input... I can't wait to go back to reading. It reminds me of when I was reading the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I couldn't put them down. Those books, that story, rekindled my faith in mankind.
Anyway, love all you ladies. You're angels!

I will gather them up this weekend and try to get them packaged and out to you next Monday. Just enjoy them, allow the children to read them all, when you are done you can return them.
Mailing them will not cost that much. Besides, it will be worth it for you to have insight into the authors thought processes.
Yes, the struggle of "*good vs evil*" is played out in lives every day. Even in very small ways that are sometimes, often overlooked, or misguided. The temptations, the choices, the *throwing out the money changers*, choices in simple terms that have grave consequences!
Me Mum used to say, "No good deed goes unpunished!" I did not get that then, but I think she was trying to tell me that "Satan" is lurking everywhere in the vicinity of earth, be aware and on GUARD!

Barbara, I'm glad to hear that you found this series to be so
insightful and well-done. I have been interested in reading them
myself, have heard many interviews with the authors, and have
been very interested in Bible Prophecy for many years. So Moi,
when you start on them, please post a book review or two!
I will wait until I'm feeling better to take on any more reading (I
have to read so much for work because I have to research so
many topics I write about, and right now I'm just not up to any
other books). But I live literally up the hill from a great library
and I'm sure I can check out the books there.
I'd like to read them in the order they were written, although I
don't know if it's essential given we pretty much understand the
sequence of events. Any thoughts on the reading sequence?
Take care,
Jill

Jill these are written as though they were great novels, main characters, story lines you need to follow in the proper sequence.
Tell ya what! As Moi reads them, she can send them one by one to you and you can send them back to me as you finish them.
I will put numbered stickers on the outside binding of the book so they will be easily followed in the proper sequence.
I'm telling you they are awe inspiring.

Left Behind is a great series...think our whole family has read them. I started the first one and passed them along, never could put one down until I finished it...read the first four or five in a week!! Youngest son (think he was 18) walked around with one in his hand. I have loved Tim and Beverly Lahaye's work a long, long time.

I was just like that Margo! I mean I could not read the next paragraph quickly enough. Then when I finished it all, I was disappointed that that was it! For a "man of the cloth" (is he?) he is a great novelist.

Barbara and Moi,
Thanks for the offer to send the books down my way when Moi
is finished. Then I can mail them back. But I will also check with
the library about availabilities in case the postage becomes too
much to make it worthwhile. My goodness, who imagined that
the NGF group would become a book club, too!
