~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Pre Teens- One Star New Teens- Three Stars Early High School Teens- Three Stars (and a half) Older High School Teens- Four Stars My personal Rating- Three Stars (and a half) {These ratings are for content, since everyone has a different opinion on the Rapture and how it will happen.} Lots of Spiritual content and no language in this book made it enjoyable. There is some more gruesome content though, with all the deaths/murders, so those who are sensitive to such topics might should skip this one.
This book is the best! Action packed and full of adventure! I love this book and if you get it you will too. One of the top books in the series! This is a great book to read with the whole family. It's filled with action suspense and great Christian values. This story follows the adventures of Judd, Vicki, Lionel, and Ryan. The Young Trib. Force is trying to regroup after the global disaster of the bombing in suburban Chicago. The terrible loss of Bruce leaves the group in a state of terror. After leading them so far, his life ended when the bombs blew up the hospital. The group, however, can't take the time to mourn, because Ryan is missing. While the group is looking for him, Ryan befriends the daughter of a rich, important Global Community leader, while they both were kidnapped in the confusion of the bombings. Ryan tries to fight for his life in a clever series of events, and lead his new-found friend, Darrion. The rest of the gang follows some clues left by Ryan and tries to save him.
This one was just as good as the last one in the series. It seems like more and more happens to the group as the story goes on. I think it said in the book that it has been one year since the disappearance. It is hard to keep track of the timeline because it doesn’t use dated or start out say something like an month later’. I can’t believe the kids and wife of the rabbi were killed like that but I’m glad that Judd and Ryan figures everything out and got the murders killed by the witnesses. That was crazy! And now they are all home. And the group is still growing!

This whole series of 40 books changed me a good deal, especially this book. I'm very grateful for them. I probably wouldn't be the person I am without them. They made things like Child Innocence, Faith, and Everyone Deserves Another Chance... hit home for me. You get into their emotions, and everything is described really so well that imagination can vividly paint the pictures for you... They're all worth reading.
The young adult end times serial continues; in this episode, one of the kids gets imprisoned. By now, there isn't much left to say about the series, so I'll just say this: If you've enjoyed the series up to this point, you'll probably enjoy this tenth volume, too.
Content Concerns: A bit intense, but that goes with the subject material.
Reading through this series has been awesome! And, for once, I'm pleased that there are 30+ more books to read..
I've found myself picking up the bible several times, and am amazed at how well Jenkins, Fabry, and LaHaye mirrored events with biblical prophecies, though this is obviously an imaginative story.
A full review will come once I finish the series. On to book 11!
In this book they figure ways to hide Mrs. Stahley and Darrion. They sue Bruce's House as their safe haven. Then they leave and find Chloe who is very cripple. She has a cast on her, arm brace, and neck brace from an accident near the bombings. Buck leaves for Israel and does news reports. Bruce wrote a letter in which grieving Loretta shows Judd. Judd reads that he purchased a passport for Ryan to go to Israel with him. Then they leave to Israel but they use Mr. Stahley old plane driver Taylor Graham. In order to fly the plane they were almost caught by GC secret service and got to the Israelis custom. They go to the wailing wall and see the witness. They say it's Elijah and Moses but, bible readers know it's Elijah and Enoch because they were the only ones to not see corruption. In order for all sinners to have died or was raptured, they go back to earth to die. They preach scripture out of Mark 1:14-20. Then Lionel informs Vicki that they are starting school the next day and that they would invite people to Bruce's funeral and startup the Underground newspaper. The witnesses continue to preach out of the 4 gospel books at random. Darrion and Mrs Stahley leaves Bruce's House. They whole YTF is in an uproar finding them. The Ben-Judah family is dead and Ryan and Judd are on a mission to figure things out but then the GC officials caught and arrested Judd and Ryan was sent to the Hotel. While back at school the underground newspaper is distributed and once again Vicki is pinned and was in trouble. Judd goes through several hours of interrogation and doesn't know if he is getting out or not. He wants them to stop pinning the "On The Run" fugitive Dr. Ben-Judah. The goal is to get Buck, Ryan, and Judd to Bruce's funeral.

I have read up to book #31 in this series and LOVE them. Bruce…………. I ask myself why does/did God take people away? It may not me clear why but I know for a fact that He did/doing it for a reason that my not be clear to us but it is/was His plan for that person/pet/etc. From now on there will be many devastating deaths among non-believers and believers. All of the Young and adult Tribulation Force will face many hardships, but they still put there faith in Jesus Christ. I admire them for that. Don’t give hope on Tom Fogarty and on Janie.
Title: On The Run Author: Jerry B. Jenkins, Tim LaHaye, Chris Fabry Series: Left Behind: The Kids #10 Format: paperback Length: 160 pages
Favourite character: Vicki Least favourite character: Carpathia Favourite line: N/A
Mini-review: I kind of love this series, but it also kind of terrifies me, because I know that it’s probably going to happen, even if it doesn’t look exactly like that. But in the same way it makes me excited because I want to go read Revelation again so I can compare everything happening versus what God told John.

I like how this volume takes a couple of the kids to Israel, where they see the Weeping Wall and the Two Prophets.
A great read, for adults and kids alike. I'm personally learning a lot about the end times as I follow these kids and their story of life after the Rapture.
I really enjoyed the book. I am a Christian myself and I feel like this is a good way to inform younger kids about Jesus Christ and how he works. From reading this book I feel well informed. I would recommend this book to any kid over the age of 8 or 9. So th at way they're old enough to understand it and process it thoroughly.
The book is a continuing reading in a series so it is interesting to see what happens in their lives. There were some deaths in this one so it had some sad moments.
