Tribulation Force

. The book is second in the Left Behind Series by LaHaye and Jenkins. The series is based on a literal reading of the Book of Revelation in the New Testament. There is something exciting going on every five minutes. In the first book millions of people disappear, and the series follows the problems faced by those who are left behind. The main characters correctly guess the disappearances to be the Rapture, where Christ takes his faithful to heaven. After the Rapture there is a huge upswelling of interst in Christ, especially among the Jews, and thousands of conversions. But all this happens as Christians are coping with WWIII, a worldwide earthquake, dodging the Antichrist, and bringing people to Christ. I’m the opposite of a fundamentalist, but these are some of the most exciting and uplifting books I’ve ever read.

I had all of the original 12, except for this book, the second in the series. First disappointment was the condition of the dust jacket; small tears in 2 or three places. The original series were 9 & 8/16ths tall &
6 & 6/ 16ths wide. The book received was
8 & 8/16ths tall & 5 & 14/16ths wide. So this book purchased was an inch shorter and a half inch shorter in width. Not acceptable.

Excellent suspense and great characters lead the way for the sequel of Left Behind and I actually liked better than the first novel. This novel is for anyone that wants to read a great story regardless of spiritual beliefs.

The world has been turned upside down by the rapture. Loved ones have vanished and people that are left are asking questions. For Rayford Steele and daughter Chloe and their new friend Cameron “Buck” Williams the answer is clear, the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has taking their loved ones to be with Him in Heaven. And now they must survive the horrors that lie ahead. As the Tribulation force must is preparing to survive at any cost they must become face to face with the antichrist Nicolae Carpathia who is already put his plan into motion to rule the world. With the horrors to follow, World War III, disease and natural disasters our heroes are trying to stay ahead of the evil that is Nicolae. This novel does an excellent job of continuing to develop characters and keeping the pace fast and interesting and as I mentioned above is actually has a better pace than book one. This novel continues the relationship between Buck and Chloe which is fun and familiar to those who have been in love.

Whether you are a Christian or not I highly recommend this novel and this series. If you are a believer you will find this conforting because you won’t have to experience what is coming and what takes place in this novel. If you are still confused or a non believer, I beg you to read carefully and find the Truth. God Bless us all.

Grade A+

This successful follow-up to the runaway bestseller “Left Behind” continues the story of a group of new Christians trying to keep the faith in a virtually de-Christianized world following the miraculous Rapture. As Nicolae Carpathia continues his rise to power behind a facade of peace and reconciliation, will even America dare to oppose him? And will the Tribulation Force be able to stay under the Antichrist’s radar even as Rayford Steele and Buck Williams find themselves drawn deeper and deeper into his malevolent web? Exciting and extraordinarily well thought out, “Tribulation Force” is both fun and thoughtful and inspiring as well. Some criticize the authors for injecting a heavy dose of romance into the story with this book, but in fact the burgeoning love between Chloe Steele and Buck is handled particularly well and it’s not as if Christians are universally called to celibacy. God is the father of love and saw fit to put the first couple together, after all. Yes, Christians need love too! Theologically the authors stay in tune with modern Evangelicals, but in my opinion even Christians from other churches can still derive a lot of pleasure and satisfaction from this moving saga. A great book on its own terms and a compelling lead-in to the next entry in the series, “Nicolae,” which promises to be even more exciting. Highly recommended!

This whole book series is well written and based on Biblical research and truth, making the fiction scenarios throughout the books very possible & even likely, in my opinion. Regardless if the reader sees the story as possibly happening in real life or not, it’s hard to put down! When I first started the series right after “Left Behind” came out years ago, it was difficult to wait for the next one to be published! Both my daughters read them while in college and finished the series as fast as they could. Several friends of mine were reading the series around the same time as I did and we all traded books among us whenever possible. It was the hot topic of conversation whenever we got together. Now my second husband is reading them and could hardly wait for book 2 to arrive after I ordered it! It was a challenge for him to wait a couple days & not go buy it off the shelf someplace!! I had kept all my original books – except book 2, 3 & 5 were missing! Now my oldest daughter wants to start reading this series to her 2 kids when he is finished with the 1st 3 books…& so it goes!
