[.ca] Left Behind: The Kids Books: Kids Collection #1 (ISBN 0842309071)

From Amazon.com:
The Christian science fiction series Left Behind: The Kids is the story of four imperfect children--Judd ("The Runaway"), Vicki ("The Rebel"), Lionel ("The Liar"), and Ryan ("The Skeptic")--and their search for truth amidst the Rapture, the seven-year period of end-of-the-world tribulation suggested by the biblical book of Revelation. Based on Jerry Jenkins's and Tim LaHaye's bestselling Left Behind series, this special gift edition includes the first six books in the series: The Vanishings, Second Chance, Through the Flames, Facing the Future, Nicolae High, and The Underground. (Ages 9 to 12)

a book for christians everywhere.:
An excellent illustration of the end of the world. It has an excellent message, but the first few books are a little on the borin side, but after the wrath of the lamb earthquake in one of the later books things really start to heat up. Although they are extremely fast reading and they are written in such simple language, the message should strengthen faith for christians of any age. These books are the begginning of a massive series depicting the last years of the earth, armageddon, and the rise of the Anti-Christ, and the persecution of Christians and Jews in the last years of the world. Even though I wish non-christians would pick up this book to read, I doubt that it would have anywhere near the effect it should have on a christian reader. I would recomend this to a non-christian who is open minded and not completely set in the ways they were brought up.

LEFT BEHIND KIDS:
I THINK THIS BOOK IS EXCELLENT MY YOUNGER SISTER HAS READ IT. IT'S DEFINETLY AN EYE OPENER; HOWEVER I'M STILL WORKING AT MY SON TO FINISH THE OTHER BOOKS 3,4,5,6 HE'S ONLY NINE AND READING IS NOT IS FAVOURITE COMPANION AT THE PRESENT. REGARDLESS I THINK ALL SCHOOL SHOULD BE USING THESE BOOKS INSTEAD OF HARRY POTTER, THERE WOULD DEFINETLY BE SOME CHANGES WITHIN THESE CHILDREN MR JENKINS & LAHAYE I THINK GOD HAS USED THESE MEN IN A WONDERFUL WAY I THANK YOU FOR TRULY OPENING MY EYES MY GOD BLESS YOU TO REACH MORE OF US.

Great books and i would give more than 5 stars:
These books are great! i started reading them and i also got my mom into reading them and now she's a couple books ahead of me! This boxed set is a perfect starter to get you into reading these eye-opening books! The first book is kind of boring, but keep reading, it'll turn out interseting. When i first read the book of Revelation in the Bible, i didn't really understand it. I thought it would all come at the same time. These books really helped explain it to me and now i'm stronger in my faith and in my reading. These books are really great for children and adults and it helps you understand more. Sometimes these books bring me to tears because of what our world will suffer and will be decieved by the antichrist. These authors are trying to get the message to you that it might be to late so you need to be saved. I really think it was great that i found an interest in these books. they make you want to get on your knees and really pray, i really like these books and i hope you will like the too. ;-)

Wonderful Books:
I really liked this set of books, especially when I started to read the adult books {For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, the adult series titles are: Left Behind, Tribulation Force, Nicolae, Soul Harvest, Apollyon, Assassins, The Mark, and Desecration, \osoon to be released\c} and saw how they tie in with the kids' books. Judd, Vicki, Lionel, and Ryan are vivid characters. They are real enough that I just have to finish each one I get that very day. I managed to get the two new ones read in one day.

Propaganda:
These books are unadulterated fundamentalist propaganda. That might be ok for adults, who have already chosen their path in life. But when such books are written for children, in the obvious hope to inculcate them into a particular religious view, it goes from "preaching to the choir" to Neuremberg rallies. They don't even have the saving grace of being well written. The strokes are so broad, the characters so one-dimensional, the "message" so obvious, that you would get as much from beating the child over the head with the book and yelling "sinner!sinner!sinner!" as you would letting them read it. If a Muslim, a Jew, or (G-d forbid) a secular humanist created such tripe and it ended upon on library shelves the afficianados of this garbage would burn the building down. The bottom line: Badly written, poorly developed fundamentalist propaganda.
