    Has anybody read any of those? They are about the end times, and they are amazing. I'm in the middle of the series right now. I've read through the first five books in about 2 weeks (and they have at least 400 pages each xD)

    I've only read the first book, but I loved it. Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins are great authors. I would buy the books if I had the money. None of the libraries around here carry those books, so that kind of stinks.

    Oh my goodness I absolutely love those books. I was wondering the same thing, if there was anyone here who has read them. I started reading the series around December i think? And I finished them all awhile ago. I have every book sitting in my room..I had to buy them all. Theres books 1-12, and a sequel to the 12th one i started reading. Then theres 3 new books, which takes place before the end times come. The authors are brilliant

    I finally got through the 12 original books =). Now I'm reading the 3 added ones, the ones that countdown to the rapture.

    Well you know the 12th one is called the Glorious Appearing, and this book is called Kingdom Come. See if you can look it up!

    "Kingdom Come is the final book in the best-selling Left Behind series. The horrors of the Tribulation are over, and Jesus Christ has set up his perfect kingdom on Earth. Believers around the world enjoy a newly perfected relationship with their Lord, and the Earth itself is transformed. Yet evil still lurks in the hearts of the unbelieving. As the Millennium draws to a close, the final generation of the unrepentant prepares to mount a new offensive against the Lord himself—sparking the final and ultimate conflict from which only one side will emerge the eternal victor."

    That's from the left behind site, which I've never visited before xD. That book sounds awesome, now I gotta read it!

    Yes that's the one! I'm really not very far -_- I haven't picked it up in forever. It's a little hard to read in hte beginning, mostly because there's none of that action like in all the other books yet

    I don't think that my church has that book (or my school library, which is open during the summer). I'll probably have to go out and buy it myself =/

    I think it's pretty new. I didn't even know they had a sequel until I went to one of the bookstores around here and just saw it. I was like whoa wait! lol

    I've read the "original series", books 1-12. I didn't even realize there was a sequel to the 12th book, though I have been eyeing the prequels for a while now. ****, now I really wanna go and read them. . . Death Note might have to wait for a while.

    Yeah I just watched the movies again lol. And I bought The Rising, from those three new books that take place in the past. That book was really good too. If you thought Nicolae was annoying before, wait till you read about him as a kid..

    I started reading that one monthes ago, but without the action, I lost interest =/. I think I was like... almost 100 pages it (I really don't remember, I'm guessing). And now I'm enjoying some new books, so it'll be a while before I get back to it.

    True, it was missing more of the action that I'm used to with these books, but of course it does take place before the whole end of the world thing lol.

    Yeah, that might explain the lack of action xD.

    What was your favorite book in the series?
