A daring escape puts Judd and Lionel in the heat of the action for the Meeting of the Witnesses in Jerusalem. Back at the schoolhouse, the rest of the Young Trib Force learns of an underground passage that allows the search for Melinda to continue. Will she turn the group in to the Global Community? Amid screams of agony from the many people affected by the latest judgment, the Young Trib Force struggles to stay alive as terrifying demons take over the earth.

I love this series, much the same as I enjoyed Left Behind. The tension, high, and the drama even higher. I cared about the characters, hurting for them when judgments came down. I could feel the pain. On to the next book.

WHEN THE DEMONS COME

In Stung, the Young Trib Force faces the most horrifying judgment yet. Not only do they have several unbelievers, the difficult Janie among them, putting them all at risk, but the fourth angel sounds his trumpet, causing a third of the sun, moon, and stars to go dark, plunging the earth into a deep freeze and killing hundreds of thousands.

Meanwhile, Judd and Lionel are with Mr. Stein in Israel, where the two Witnesses, Eli and Moishe, continue to torment Carpathia and those that follow him.

Finally, summer returns.

But then the fifth trumpet sounds. "...locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months... In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them." ~~Revelation 9:1-6

It doesn't get much more terrifying than that! Honestly, I don't know how Vicki and the others put up with Janie like they do. And there were deaths in this book that I didn't remember from my first read through, which was pretty sad.

I recommend these books for ages 12+

Stung (Left Behind: The Kids, #17-19)

[Luciana]

The Bible Coming To Life

Outstanding authors. The writing is so great. I should be sleeping but I cannot put this down till My eyes closed on it’s own. The plot is so great and both believers and non believers need to read this. This is a non fictional story book, although the characters are fictional BUT all the events will come to pass. I pray those who doesn’t know Jesus as your savior would accept him before the Rapture!

[Bradford Combs]

This book was extremely slow for the first half, and I felt the same with its counterpart in the adult series (Apollyon). I actually struggled to get through it. However, it started getting better with the judgment dealing with the sun and the stars (handled much better than in Apollyon). And it got really good when the next judgment hits toward the end. And so, the beginning and end balance out for an average three-star rating. On to the next.

As the tribulation continues, the kids dive deeper into their subversive activities. Their getaways are unrealistic, and the way they escape gunfire and large posses of enemies is off- putting. But the storyline moves quickly, and the characters draw me in.

[Miki]

I really enjoy this series. Not quite as much as the original adult series but this one is very good. In this volume the locusts show up at the end of the book. It was a little slow but still held my interest. One of the characters (Janie) is very annoying to me. Highly recommend this series.

Best tribulation books

If you like a good Christian series you will love these books! Both the kids and adult series. It's a must read!!! Love them both

[Caroline Rushing]

so good!!

[Judy Tarver]

Origins series is excellent. This series is written for teens and I didn’t find it near as interesting nor does it seem as plausible some of the stories just aren’t very realistic in my opinion.

4.5 Stars

I cannot wait to get all the books in the series..... Can't put these books down at all. God is good

[Samuel Fry]

AMAZING BOOK SERIES! I love this series so much! Highly recommend! 😊📚

[Jennie Bourgeois]

Reading this series aloud with my son.

[Mrs. Bahns]

This book is about when locust demons attack people but don't kill them. The three kids and a few others hide in a abandoned school house and reach out to others.

[Rev. Leroy]

Definitely a "10".
