read this the other night, it was sitting on Avary's pile of "rejects" to go back to the library. This is the first book in like 30 for the series. It's an interesting start....

This series messed me up for years. I literally had a period where I would wake up early to watch TODAY to watch for possible news of Israel getting bombed.
Now I ignore this sensationalist “end days” stuff in pursuit of a Christianity that focuses less on where we are ending up and more about making earth hospitable for everyone.
What a gigantic waste of my time I could have spent reading so many other things from 8pm to 3am.

I know the book is about The Rapture but I found the religious aspects just too much.

I have read this book before but I never finished the series. I have decided that this is the year I finally finish it so I started over at book one. It was good. It introduces the four kids and their back stories. And how they all end up together.

I adored the Left Behind adult series and didn't find the characters in this to be as relatable, probably because I'm not within the target demographic. I did like the inclusion of characters from the adult series, but find it odd that none of these children were mentioned in that series as they all end up at the same church. It also felt like the children accepting Christ was more out of obligation after the rapture than out of true belief and repentance.
