Features one of the most awesomely-bad sentences I've ever read: "The perverse nightmare of the sheer volume of it lay atop him longer than the orange ball rode his eyeballs."
March 5, 2019
It’s hard for me to believe that I started this series a little over a year ago.The Remnant is the 10th book in the series. It picks up right where Desecration left off- with everyone’s favorite Antichrist getting ready to bomb TF out of the believers at Petra.
Acting like a child on Christmas morning, Antichrist is estatic about the slaughters of millions of believers. He launches his most aggressive attack finishing it off with a missile that is promised to wipe Petra off the map for good… but the believers at Petra have God on their side and are not harmed. The flames that engulf their bodies cause them no pain at all.
Antichrist and his collegues cover it up in the media stating that the missile missed its target. But Buck Williams is still publishing his online magazine- The Truth- and makes sure the masses know what really happened.
Meanwhile we have some members of the Trib Force off on secret recue missions. We have some falling in love. We have some in such dire need of help it makes your stomach knot up in anticipation. The safe house in Chicago becomes compromised and our Trib Force is forced to search for a new place to stay.
As I continue to tell you all as this series goes on, the action DOES NOT STOP. Ever. The writing is garbage. The characters are pretty cookie-cutter, only occasionally do you see any sort of development in them before it’s back to the mold. But there is just something addictive about them…like how you think you’re only going to have a couple more Doritos and then suddenly the whole bag is gone. They’re exciting and fun.
These books have not turned me into a believer- nor will they. (Maybe if ¾ of the poplation disappears I might consider it.) They are a neat take on a Dystopian world that keep a quick and relentless pace. If you’re looking for life-changing literature, this is not it. If you’re looking for an entertaining read that goes quick, look no further.

This was a very interesting book. It really grabbed and held my attention! I kept looking for spare moments to pick it up to see what was going to happen next. It is filled with action and suspense. It embraced joy and astonishment at the power of God. It made me feel the awe! It was very realistic, and seemed quite close to Revelations. It is filled with countless surprises, and never failed to keep me guessing and wanting more.
It's very clean, though there was some violence. There were a couple parts that I skimmed because it was getting a little too graphic for me. Still, I wouldn't say that the death scenes were dark. They had more of a tone of victory mixed with some timidness, rejoicing mingled with a little fear, longingness for home intertwined with shyness toward the unknown, yet the Christians lived and died in a wonderful hope! No, this book was not dark, it was filled with the light of LIFE and the joy in serving Jesus!
I thought this was a very good and enjoyable end times novel, and I hope to be able to read the rest of the series very soon!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨4.6 / 5.0. Oh-My-Apocalypse…! ⚡ “The Remnant” is the literary equivalent of a spiritual rollercoaster strapped to a lightning bolt. ⚔️🔥 This installment bursts me open with high-stakes energy and refuses to let me breathe, each chapter feels like standing at the edge of a prophecy itself.
The authors once again prove their mastery of the Christian apocalyptic thriller genre, blending faith, global tension, and explosive action into a story that’s both intelligent and emotionally charged. ✨ The writing is crisp and deliberate, there’s a cinematic rhythm that makes every revelation hit. The structure flows seamlessly, building tension layer by layer, until you’re clutching the pages like your survival depends on it (and honestly, spiritually, it might). 😅
The character development stays so good that it deserves its own applause track. Familiar heroes grow sharper, braver, and more introspective, while new faces carry unexpected weight. I felt their anxiety, faith, and flashes of hope, each moment laced with comfort, inspiration, and a surreal, hallucinatory sense of divine movements. 🌙📖
Pacing-wise? Absolute dynamite. 💣 It sprints through chaos yet pauses long enough for reflection, an unpredictable symphony of calm and catastrophe. The ending lands like a quiet thunderclap, less cliffhanger, more sacred tease, perfectly designed to make you whisper, “Just one more chapter… or a book perhaps.”
If you crave stories that mix intelligence, excitement, and deep faith without losing that page-turning thrill, “The Remnant” nails it. It’s a wild blend of comfort and crisis, prophecy and passion.
Was I inspired? Completely. Addicted? Guilty. Anxious? Constantly. 😭🔥 But when the final page turned, I sat back, heart pounding and soul lit, thinking, this series just doesn’t miss. 🌍📚✨

The beginning and the end were really engaging and fun to read, but the middle lagged for me.
I’m really anticipating the next books though!

Left Behind: The one where stuff happens to people and then the other people react to that stuff
I am trying not to belabor this point, but Tim and Jerry have a serious violence fetish. Some random character that I know nothing about gets captured and is like ✨military trained✨ so he knows how to stand up to interrogators. He is like super quiet the whole time but they do this weird long monologue in his head about how all the ways he could maim his female captor. Here are the things he thinks about:
- blinding her with two fingers to the eyes
- Breaking her Jaw with a punch
- crushing her to death by flipping the table on top of her and dropping his whole weight on it.
- And just plane ole shooting her with her friends gun
“How could anyone not believe” is one of the most common phrases in this book. It has the preachy arrogance to anyone with doubts that is meant to transcend the wacky universe of this book. Say what you will about affirming the Christian faith, but it isn’t meant to be the most logical option. The same people that say that faith is only granted by God also preach that it is so logical that only an idiot could reject it. Which one is it Tim? Which one is it Jerry?
Yayyyyy George got the chance murder her capture. All he had to do was fake being dead and then jump into a girl and crush he stomach into her spine so she projectile vomits as she dies.
Also Michael the Arch-Angel is a pilot as well.
They literally walk through dispensationalism as established and irrefutable truth. To say that this book is preachy is not a metaphor for being heavy handed with its worldview, it is quite literally preachy. They literally just have people preach entire sermons and record them in this book. Its just a manuscript of a random evangelical church. Its such bad writing. Only telling no showing.
So one of the Christians is a grown woman dressed as a man to keep her identity hidden. Which on its face is nbd, I saw “she’s the man” I’m sure it doesn’t age well, but whatever. She is talking to another believer (a man) and this other believer mentions growing up liking boys. Our male presenting believer says that she grew up liking boys and the instant reaction of our believer friend is that he “recoiled.” After this our believer friend reveals that she is actually a woman and the man is relieved, confused but relieved. I know this was normal for the time, but if somehow you are reading this and are somehow convinced Jerry and Tim are good people. Please reconsider. They don’t play the recoiling as something to be ashamed of it’s just plane and simple homophobia. If homophobia isn’t an issue for you, I don’t know what to say to convince you other than, would Jesus have recoiled from someone if they found out they were gay?
There is literally no concept of time in these books. Either 5 chapters will be spent on a 12 hour random mission or without warning 6 months will pass without so much as a justification.
“I know there is nothing wrong with making a lot of money, but in my case it blinded me to the truth.” Beautiful succulent reassurance that Jesus loves a good capitalist. He just wants to make sure that you don’t totally forget about being a Christian when you are swimming through your piles of gold like Scrooge McDuck. Turns out it’s super easy for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.
Also they dunk on all High Church traditions by calling them “dead churches” and the reason that people got left behind from the rapture. Eat that anglicans!
Also they set up this silly debate between the false prophet and the Christian leader guy (clg). Unsurprisingly the clg absolutely annihilates the false prophets in one of the all time greatest rap battles to ever exist. Which like, okay that’s fine. I just think it feeds into this all to common narrative that if people just heard how logical Christianity was than they would get it. If they hear the claims and don’t swallow them wholeheartedly and immediately they are
- deceived and not culpable but still going to hell
- Hard hearted which means God heardened their heart for some reason and they are going to hell
- prideful which means they are going to hell and super deserve it
Which like I don’t know why you would create all of these sentient beings just to send most of them to hell. Then the ones that you don’t send to hell are clowns like Tim and Jerry.
One of the mini antichrists does this weird effed up magic show where he kills people and then resurrects them and then kills them again all while practicing his stand up comedy and lowkey it is the best scene in these books so far.
These books make it VERY clear that once you get the mark of the beastie boys you literally can only go to hell. One direct result of this is that it’s okay to kill people with the mark. Because they aren’t people really people anymore. They are just hell fodder who weren’t lucky enough to grow up near a church.
Also one of the Christians call a middle eastern dude a “camel jockey” multiple times.

This was a great installment! It’s crazy that the series is almost over. One year left!
However, I thought Chloe would get more likable? But she really hasn’t gotten any better. She’s still too independent and self serving and it’s going to get people hurt. Again.

If you're looking for a quick whats-wrong-with-this review, I've got you.
I had four problems with this:
1. Having all Christian main characters was very, very risky. Give one of them an attribute that's not very godly, and people are going to say "He approves of this in Christians!" Very risky indeed. His solution? Don't take risks. Make every character feel stale and replaceable with the other.
2. The plot would get interesting and then God saves the day. That's not a problem, but it kind of cheats in my book. Your character should use his special skill to do something and propel the plot further instead of "This guy's going to be in trouble!"*God saves him* All is better. "In trouble again!" *process repeats*. Though I totally believe God does this in real life, when it comes to book plots, the resolution can't be God saving them every time. God is so infinite that it could be *guys walk three miles to a volcano* *volcano explodes* *instead of running away and learning that God saves them through running away and making it with team work and--* *there happens to be the character's friends nearby and so the character runs there, and they get them out of here but some lava scorched a character but he's not burned because God saves* I'm just saying, God can save without literally shielding the characters from harm or something like that. This seemed like the easy way out.
3. Christians rule, non-Christians die and suffer. I'd tell my friends that was the plot. I know that in Revelation a lot of those that didn't accept Christ DO suffer, but from the non-Christian view, no one would want to read this. This series brings glory to God in a "I'm warning you kind of way". Which is great. Please do so. No need to paint this religion with pretty colors. But in order for non-Christians to be warned this way, they'd have to read the book. No non-Christian would though. You'd have to make Christianity seem as forgiving as it really is or the plot would have to be awesome. Which brings me to the plot.
4. I can never nap. Unless I'm in a different time zone or I stayed up a majority of the night, Amytiger can not nap. Wish I could. Much easier on me if I could. But napping is boring to me. You lay down in bed, and then what? How do you sleep? Is there a certain thing you think about? Are you not supposed to think? How does this work?! Reading the Remnant, Amytiger was able to take a nap.

The Great Tribulation continues and the Tribulation Force is now scattered all over the world as they lose their safe house. Various members go on different missions and the group at Petra continues to bask in God's favour and provision.
The first half of the book dragged...the same story went on and on and I think the first half of the book only covered 2 days. Then, the second half sped on, flying through different tribulations like darkness, sun flares, etc. I felt like the authors were trying to rush through the plagues/tribulation. The characters were okay...not really much development, but some new characters were introduced just on the surface. I'm still trying to figure out why they have Leah as a character since no one likes her or gets along with her.

I started reading this series for the fiction appeal and really enjoyed the first 4 or 5 books. I kept reading them because I felt that I needed to finish the story and up until now I have enjoyed them a little. I did not like this one at all though. In between sermons the characters were put in impossible situations that they keep getting out of because they are being protected by God. Things like bullets and missiles shooting through planes no matter what they do doesn't appeal to me because the characters lost their cunning adventurous nature from the previous books. I am very disappointed in the way the authors have decided to wrap up this series, I get the feeling that they just ran out of ideas. Unless you enjoy being preached at for 400 pages I don't recommend this book.
April 1, 2015
I once found this book at Costco and decided to read it, even though it was the tenth book in the series and I hadn't read the nine books preceding it. It was okay. At the time, I didn't know it was Kirk Cameron's love child. If I had known that, I would have read it with a more critical eye. Still, it wasn't super preachy, so I didn't hate it.

More of the adventures of the righteous in the days after the rapture. Competently written fantasy that is meant to be taken literally. I couldn't bring myself to force down another of these, so stopped here.
April 5, 2023
This book started out slow and seemed to be solely for a transition into the next book, but then it picked up pace in the last 20 pages and now I want to start the next book immediately.
August 12, 2011
In general I have been enjoying this series, but this one seemed kind of like the authors just threw it together. In many of the other books, the time was drawn out (perhaps too much in some places), and one book might cover a few days or a few months. This one spans several years and tends to abruptly jump around in time. Every few chapters, you get an update: "Four years into the tribulation..." "Five years into the tribulation..." "Six months later..." and so on.
What I like about the Left Behind series is that it makes the book of Revelation easier to understand. I tried reading it, but much of it went in one side of my brain and out the other, mostly because I couldn't make an logical connection between the symbolism and the impact on the earth. Left Behind, even if it isn't the best interpretation of Scripture (and I know it's not), makes it easier to understand. I also somewhat admire the way the authors are able to portray the Antichrist. I wouldn't be able to come up with someone so evil as Nicolae Carpathia. They clearly put a lot of thought behind his character.

Lots of action, but I'll be glad to get this series finished up.
I'm pretty sure that this is a different narrator from the last few books, but I didn't like the way he pronounced certain names either.

I am enjoying the audiobook for a few days and added the ebook version.
In chapter 1, immersed in flames and Rayford says "a million of Shadrachs, Meshachs, and Abednegos." The audiobook version is so exciting and non-stop action and the ebook version is to catch up where I might have missed something or left off. I am completing the audiobook faster pace.
Believers have to conceal their true identity—go undercover by using alias names and even ethnic identities to not uncover their true self in Christ.
*Bombing—in the hopes to kill or plunder out millions. What type of leader is this? Antichrist.
Then, this Antichrist leader wants to make what he calls “jesuses” or “messiahs” who are saviors in his name to train, raise, and imbue them in his great power. He seeks thousands of them to stand against believers in this era. We are seeing such leaders, such fake pastors, prophets, and people claim to be believers; yet, they show nothing but that of their evil father.
The series keeps getting better and not disappointing since I got passed Nicolae book in the series.
Bible tells us about Moses that he chose ‘rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season.’ Tsion continues that these people are not like Moses, because they’d rather suffer torment and lose their souls to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season—what a short season. Struggling believers, undecided people, and help the evangelists and angels to bring them to salvation before it’s too late—this fictional story sounds so much like what is going on today in real time.

Struggling believers, undecided people, and help the evangelists and angels to bring them to salvation before it’s too late—this fictional story sounds so much like what is going on today in real time.

At the beginning of Captain America: Civil War, the Avengers are in Sokovia to stop a bad-guy of the week from stealing biological weaponry. Faced with defeat and unwilling to be brought to justice quietly, the villain detonates a bomb hoping to take out Captain America and dozens of civilian bystanders. However, Wanda uses her telekinesis to divert the explosion, unwittingly sending the bomb into an office building, killing dozens more.
The Avengers walk away without a scratch, while the innocents around them are decimated and left to pick up the pieces (literally) of their friends and community. A weird analogy for the Left Behind series, I'll admit, and yet one that perfectly illustrates the metastasized failure of the series.
The Tribulation Force is now an elite group of underground Christians solely focused on battling the armies of the Antichrist. A known worldwide entity, they've become a thorn in the Antichrist's side as Satan indwelt in Nicolae's body seeks to tighten his grip on the Earth as God rains judgments upon humanities survivors.
At this point, the Tribulation Force is totally on the offensive, moving around the world in tactical teams to strengthen the global black market for believers. Yet here we run into the major failure of this novel. Like the Avengers, Rayford and his plucky little gang swoop into an area, cause chaos, and leave behind a trail of victims in their wake. What's worse, although several acknowledge this, nobody gives enough of a shit to actually change the outcome. Sacrificing believers is okay, as long as it's not our believers. Sacrificing nameless Christians is God's plan, but if Buck doesn't get to abandon his family and run halfway across the globe, he can throw a hissy fit.
It's really disheartening to see so many 'practicing' Christians turn to this series as some kind of blueprint for Christian belief. This series is so messed up, Moms for Liberty would be picketing the local libraries and school systems if it was called by any other name.
I just don't know anymore.

This book and previous, Desecration, would’ve been paired together in just one story and I had given them 4 stars probably.
This book depicts Christians' persecution in different parts of the world and how true Christian’s are trying escape and hide from the beast.
The ending was an opening for what’s coming in Armageddon.

This is the 10th book in the Left Behind Series, and is just as good as the previous ones. Bible Prophecy is coming true at an alarming rate. The believers are able to (for the most part) stay a step or two ahead of the non-believers due to the judgments that continue to afflict the unsaved.
It is a dark and perilous time in the world, and the prophecy foretells worse in the coming months. I recommend this series to all who enjoy dystopian or Christian fiction.

I feel this series is very well written. It is not supposed to be a “War and Peace” or a “1984”. It is just a great series of novels that shows a lot of hard work and research. I has inspired me to search the scriptures and say, “Wow”

Might be my least favourite of the series. There was some big moments but there is also a lot of recapping, almost as though they’re trying to make it accessible to someone picking it up as their first book or a standalone. Nice cliff hanger at the end though.

Good read
The only thing bad about this book was that it dragged out through 3/4 of the book, then suddenly toward the end it rushed through over a year and a half...

Considering I haven’t read this series in like 2 years and then just picked it up again and had to pretend like I knew what was happening and learn and remember as I was reading it, it was good.

Action packed and impossible to put down!
