Ok
I can't say this was the best. The beginning was exciting but 6 months would go by and the author wouldn't even inform the reader of the time laps. This series was stretched out and then rushed in the end.

I can't wait!
I loved this book and all of the rest in the series. It brings joy to my heart to be reminded of the love and peace Jesus gives us now and will give us in the future. Anyone who is discouraged or needs to be reminded of Jesus' love needs to read these books. The authors will some of those who will be rewarded for bringing billions of people to Christ!

Arrived by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins is about the young trib force as they are chased by bounty hunters. As Vicky, Judd, Lionel, and friends tell more people the gospel, they face more devastation and problems than they have before. With the glorious appearing looming closer, they are still reaching out and asking for people to give their lives to Christ. When the final battle takes place, the people of Petra are astonished to find that the Global Community can't hurt them. Eventually the battle is won and they get to meet Jesus face to face and see their friend Ryan again. The big reunion goes on as the 1000 year kingdom is set up. The theme of this story is all over the world in the last days of the Earth. Some supporting evidence is that Judd is in Israel with Vicky when Jesus returns, Lionel is in Petra at the end, and Mr. Stein is also in Petra praying for the safety of those fighting. The main characters are Judd, Vicky, Lionel, Mr. Stein, Dr. Tsion Ben Judah, and Nicolae Carpathia. I think that this is a really well written, grabs your attention sort of book. The author makes it feel like you are there and all the imagery is amazing! I would recommend this book for mature readers and not for young audiences.

Come Lord Jesus!
This series has been a rollercoaster of emotions, and having read the entire series before deciding whether to suggest it to my 12 year old daughter- I’m overcome with joy, love and a genuine peace as I look forward to the return of my Lord and God Jesus Christ!
I have a desire to share my faith and tell people about Jesus - John 3:16 - 21 comes to mind. ““For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. “There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son. And the judgment is based on this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed. But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants.””
John 3:16-21 NLT

An Outstanding series
As with the original Left Behind series, I really enjoyed these books. They stayed very close to the Biblical prophecies while providing interesting fictional characters and storylines that brought those prophecies to life. I see the world around me a bit differently now. The sense that these times are not something faraway in the future is almost overwhelming to me. Every day things remind us of just how evil this world is becoming. Other than that God, through His Word, has told us what is coming, the details are not for us to dwell on. He already knows all of the outcomes, and has from before the Earth was even formed. Praise God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the unending love He has for us.

honestly i was thinking about giving this 4 stars because now that it's over i am bummed that we never got to see more of Enoch and his Chicago crew! Now I'm wondering if Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye mightve had another spinoff kind of series about that group? I don't know 😆 I also almost gave it 4 stars cuz Lionel's storyline seemed really pushed off to the side the last few books. BUT!! The fifth star came with the reunion of the saints and specifically that Uncle Andre was there 🥳🥳 That just made me so happy. Overall it was nice to be in the Left Behind world again. Sad it's over but I have the prequels still to read!

Awaiting God’s Glory
I so loved this series! I didn’t want it to end. I was happy and praising God at every turn, especially the rolling and unfolding of the sky. This series continuously given the readers every opportunity to repent of their sins and to become children of God. Although, the characters in the story are fictional, but the events will become Real and True. As that day will surely come and I pray it’ll find you gone and not be part of the tribulation saints. To God be All honor glory and power. Amen!

The Young Trib Force makes their final attempts to reach those not saved before meeting Christ face-to-face.
What a book. Action, tense-filled scenes, a powerful plot, and interesting likable characters. Evil will reign over the earth one day, but not totally, as brought out in "Arrived." God has a plan and it will be accomplished. I'm more excited than ever before.

It's just so good. Yes, much of the latter scenes are depicted in the adult series, but seeing them from new perspectives was good. And the reunions were enjoyable. I wish they could have gone on for longer. All-in-all, a great ending. Though I wish LaHaye and Jenkins would have written a counterpart to Kingdom Come, this was a satisfying conclusion to the series. I'm glad I stuck with it.

Best series ever
Captured my attention from the beginning to the end brought the bible alive and made one think of what life would be like after the rapture and be sure that you are ready for when Christ raptures his church….

I agree with what many have already said about this one, it seemed rushed. I enjoyed how the Glorious Appearing was depicted but everything was very rushed at the end. I still can't give this one less than a 4 because I enjoyed it and we need more books like this.

I loved the book
The end of the book came too quickly. It also inspired me to live fully for the Lord. Great read.

It is time for the arrival. The glorious appearing of Jesus Christ, the Messiah. Judd, Vicki, Lionel, and the rest of the Young Trib Force have waited seven long years for this. And we, as readers, have waited through eleven great books for this as well! I found that this book was very well worth the wait. Because of everything that has gone on in the last eleven books, the ending seemed all the more amazing.
Throughout the book, the story follows Judd, Vicki, and Lionel, as they struggle to survive the attacks of the Global Community, and the final battle of Armageddon. Throughout this book, they truly witness God's power and protection, but most of all, his love for his children. This was definitely my favorite book in the series, and, quite possibly, my favorite book of all. This book had tons of action in it, and I was unable to put it down. It is rare that a book does this to me. Arrived also did a great job at making me feel emotional, whether the emotion be happiness, sadness, or an I'm-so-excited-that-I-have-to-go-to-the-bathroom-but-I-don't-want-to-because-I-don't-want-to-put-this-book-down type of feel. During the whole second half of the book, I was saying to myself what Judd and Vicki kept saying - "Come, Lord Jesus".
I honestly can't connect this book to any other books or movies, simply because there has never been anything like this, although, the last third of the book reminded me a lot of movies and books where the enemy has the good guys surrounded, just like "the Unity Army had Petra surrounded", and it seem they are out numbered twenty to one, but the good guys prevail in the end!
Fans of action and adventure, and maybe even science fiction, would really enjoy this series. Some might consider this to be a "religious" series, but it's not about religion, it's about a relationship. You don't have to be "religious", or believe the things that the characters believe in the books, in order to get a lot out of it. No different than if you wanted to enjoy the Percy jackson series, you would have to believe in the Greek gods. But back to the point: the action, the constant we-can't-get-caught-or-we'll-die feel, and the development of characters over seven years (or twelve books for that matter) really make this series, and more specifically, this book, worth reading.
On a scale of one to five, one being not very good, two being okay, three being pretty good, four being a good read, and five being just plain awesome, I would give this book a five, hands down! The action, the love, the loss (yes, the loss), and especially the victory is what gets this book a big, fat, juicy five. Part of the reason this book seemed so relieving was all the hardships endured in the past eleven books made this even more rewarding.
Not only this book, but this series as a whole, has changed me, just as Lionel thought about how "He had come far in those past seven years", I have come far in these twelve amazing books. I went from looking at these characters as, well, characters to me, and as friends to other characters, to family.
Did I mention that this book was awesome?
