It’s hard to remember who all the people are that they talk about. I need to make a list or something.

Judd and Nada are almost a thing now! I don’t like it. I want Judd and Vicki to be a thing! Vicki is traveling with Pete and a few others around in the states while some of the group stayed at the schoolhouse.

As suspected it does get better. The Chi-Town Trib-force is dealing with their locust problems as they get Lenore to repent. They try to get a hold of Janie but like always she is oppositional. Judd, Lionel, and Sam are trying to help everyone get of the plane successfully and they did. Judd is trying to fight his feelings for Nada and her vice versa. Then, Sam wanted to visit his father but result in a near death experience while Jamal and his family was faced with problems with a GC officer. they come across Carl in which Mark helped retrieve and he soaks up all of Vicki's teachings to help people he may come across. They have a hard time trusting him but they do eventually. Pete comes long again to meet them and ask Vicki to embark on another Journey with him and does. Pavel talks to Judd about them coming to New Babylon and getting them back to the USA. Vicki tries to get them together and help the people who is trying to get believers out of the way of a planned GC attack but, their stubborness causes them to be to late.

Sometimes I feel like the characters don't act their ages. Like they aren't mature for their ages. Example, Judd just doesn't seem to act his age which in this book he is almost 20 years old. Other than the maturity levels of the characters, I love the Left Behind: The Kids series. I am rereading the adult books while reading these books. Love the adult books too.

Reading as a read-aloud to my 12 & 13 year old. Inspiring some great conversations. Whether our Theology lines up with the Authors or not, doesn't really matter. We are doing a Bible Study with BSF on Revelation and reading these books have also encouraged us to go back to the Word and see what it says.

The demon-locusts are still spreading across the world, stinging unbelievers with the wretchedly painful venom wherever they go. The Young Trib Force and other Believers are immune to the effects though.

The Tribulation continues!
