At no doubt, this will definitely give kids a great point of view towards the rapture through the eyes of four teenagers who are experiencing it themselves. If your kid has questions, and confusions about the Rapture, the Left Behind Kids version is sure to have them understanding it, and also giving them a good story to think about for the near future, and of course, entertainment.Judd, Vicki, Lionel and Ryan think they know it all. None of them believe the gospel of Jesus Christ, and none believe in God. With Judd a running away from his parents, Vicki rebelling against her parents conversion, Lionel lying about being a Christian, and Ryan skeptisysing about his friends faith, the four will come together to realize there was more to life, and God that was there all the time, they just wouldn't take the time to believe it.I recieved the first book (which is the first four books in all) for my birthday, and was a little skeptical about them at first. A few months before I had started to read the adult Left Behind books, but to no avail for the fact that they were too old for me (I was twelve at the time). After re-discovering them a month later, I was hooked on them. Not only were they entertaining, but they gave an easy understanding towards the Rapture for kids.Even if adults have trouble understanding the Rapture and the end times, it'll provide an easy understanding, and have them (as I did) rexamine their faith through these books.An instant five stars. And remember, if you refuse to believe the Rapture, just make sure you have plenty of places to go afterwards, because there will be no place to hide.
I didn't read this book to learn more about Jesus. I read it because it was hard to put down and the story intertwined the adult series books and stayed true to the original story line but from a teen's perspective. Just as reading about Narnia didn't teach me to talk to lions or watching sci-fi made me learn about quantum physics. If the book says it's " fiction " then sit back and enjoy the story.If you are searching for God, read the right book. It should be a reference or non-fiction genre.
I've read the adult series and enjoyed it. As a Christian who enjoys fiction writing I know it's sometimes not easy to separate fact from fiction. This book follows the "what if" principles of the Book of Revelation. It doesn't say that this is HOW it's going to happen, it gives a fictional perspective on how it plays out in the authors mind based on what the Book of Revelation says. Anyone who tries to tie the theology to it and make it into a "fact" is not reading the book for the story. That said, this series is really good for teens and does make a teen think about the "what if's" related to the Bible. Excellent Reading and a great page turner for the younger sect.
It’s neat that the authors made a second Left Behind Story, not a replacement or remake, but a story that parallels the main series. I think the title however is somewhat misleading, because it’s not about children, the main characters are all teenagers or older (except for one who’s 12 at the start). I think a more accurate title would’ve been “Left Behind Teenagers”It's really neat the way that the Left Behind series covers the rapture and other future events. And it kind of gives it a whole new feeling to have it experienced by younger people. It gets quite emotional, especially since they all basically become orphans.Having already read the main Left Behind Series, I find it neat the way that the authors sort of interwove this new story into it, sometimes using existing characters from the first series. Sometimes it kind of makes it feel like your reading details that were left out the first time. Though this series may be geared towards younger people, I really don't think that it's any different than the main series. The main characters are younger, but the events are really no less intense, sometimes I almost think that it's even more. In some of the later books of this series, I think they go a little too far. I'm 33 years old, but overall I like the Left Behind Kids series just as much as the main series, if not more.
I have read the entire Left Behind series. All 13 books were totally captivating. This is the story of 4 teenagers left behind. Ryan, from a family that never attended church & died during the disappearances, Vicki whose parents and siblings accepted Christ 2 years earlier, Judd whose entire family disappeared and Lionel who was also left behind with one uncle when his their family disappeared.They went to the same high school but did not know each other. Judd was from the upper class, Vicki lived in a trailer park, and Ryan & Lionel who were both middle income. Lionel was the only African American. They learn to depend on each other and God during the turbulent times. The story and characters blend in with the left behind series. This story is told from the prospective of the teenagers. It is the first in a series.It is important to remember that this is a book of fiction. Many people take religious fiction far too seriously. This is not a story of how things will happen only a story about how they could happen.
