i love the left behind series. It's so interesting to me. There's action and emotion and sometimes they stop the book and you have to start reading the next one to find out what happened. These are like my favorite books.

Good read

This book was really exciting but Vicki was a real jerk in this one. I almost want to dislike her character now.

I love this series. Having read the Left Behind series many years ago, memories return with the reading of this series. A horrible time is coming. I don't plan to be here. Great read. On to the next one in this series.

Absolutely loved this book

The suspense. The drama. I wish the Young Trib force could have some longer sense of peace and relief. So sorry Ryan didn't get to be a part of the whole thing

I really enjoyed this one. When I first started the kids series I wasn't that impressed but this one captured my attention and I can't wait to see what happens next. I highly recommend this series. It does not disappoint.

SECONDS AWAY FROM CAPTURE

The Young Trib Force just can't catch a break! Just as one problem seems to be resolved, another arises.

Judd, Vicki, Lionel, Conrad, Darrion and the others are fighting for their lives as Judgement after Judgement befalls the inhabitants of the Earth. Hail, fire, a massive meteor that turns water to blood and destroys a third of all ships and sea life, and Wormwood which poisons a third of the earth's water. And all this while being on the constant run from the Global Community!

It would be a miracle for me to manage that much, but just surviving isn't enough for these brave teenagers. They're constantly risking their safety and even their lives to share the gospel with as many unbelievers as they can.

In the midst of all this, the kids discover something interesting: a mark appears on the forehead of every true believer.

Now, if only Judd and Vicki could get along...

Okay, so FIRST OF ALL, I'm removing half a star for each member of the YTF that died in this book. Okay I know it's the end of the world and everything and for everyone you love to survive every catastrophe would be unrealistic, but still. IT'S VERY UPSETTING!!

Secondly, I want to talk about the magical mark on the Christian's foreheads that is invisible to unbelievers. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the Bible talks about only the 144,000 witnesses being sealed and stuff. Either way, it's not a big deal. It adds something interesting to the story and it's super helpful for all the Christians! Sometimes stuff happens that I don't always believe will necessarily happen that way in real life, but this is a work of fiction and I still really enjoy the story.

GET YOUR TWEEN S AND TEENS TO READ THIS

This fourth book of the twelve is so fast pace and riveting. If sleep didn’t claim me I would be up all night. Great plots and twist. I urge all believers to tell your teens about this. I pray they are or will come to be a believer. God bless!

Yup, this was a phenomenal collection. The passing scenes were so well done, especially the one involving the Atlantic Ocean. A surprise return was fun. And I love Pete. Everything with the Morale Monitors was interesting. The series is really starting to hit its stride.

The original series was excellent. This series, written for teens to help understand what could happen during the end times isn’t as good in my opinion.

Not The Best

A little bit slower paced than the previous books in the series. Also, a little more redundant. Seemed kind of like a recap.

The title is important to the book because the young tribulation force is rescued from the Global Community. I think the author chose this title because the young tribulation force finds refuge in an abandoned boarding house, hidden in plain sight, they are then safe from any unwanted visitors. If i could rename this book, I would rename it Left Behind: The Young Trib Force Liberation .
