Series for adults now rewritten for teens

I have always enjoyed the adult series of Left Behind books. The kids books are just as good. The kids interact with the characters from the adult series, experience the same events, etc. However, since the main characters are teens, these books can appeal to younger readers. So far, the stories haven't had the ups and downs that the adult series has had. The adult series has books that are a lot more boring than others. The kids series seems to be good in every book. These are not for really young kids, but would be appropriate for young teens. I enjoy them and I am an adult.

Preparing for Battle

This fourth installment in the Left Behind-The Kids series is, in my opinion, the best in the series so far. In this fourth book, the four teens who are living in a post-Rapture world learn details of the coming holocaust of horrible judgments that will strike the planet, as prophecied in Scripture. They also discover who the Antichrist is at the very end of the book. Also at the end, the four teens realize their purpose in living as Christians in a post-Rapture world. They realize they must get the Truth of the Bible's salvation message to the world to as many people as possible before the end comes,when they learn that the world would come to its end in seven years. Facing the Future picks up where book 3 left off. Judd and Vicki go to Chicago to witnes the arrest of a mass murderer, by whom they had almost been killed. After the arrest, Judd shares his Faith to a group of police officers. All the officers except one laugh it off. The young Homicide cop Archibald Edwards is interested. Later on in the book, good news and bad news come about. The kids witness to the wife of a police officer about the Gospel message and she become a Christian. Archibald Edwards, the cop who is somewhat interested in the Gospel message, is suddenly killed by the murderer LeRoy Banks when he attempts but fails a jailbreak attempt. This book seems to be trying to make a point, which is this: if you've heard the Gospel message, do not wait; do not put off coming to Christ because you may not have tomorrow to live. Do not risk your life and, more importantly, your afterlife by thinking you have all the time in the world, because you do not!When the kids learn from Biblical prophesy that within the next seven years, the end of the world would come about through war, famine, pestilences, plagues, earthquakes, and cosmic disturbances, they realize their purpose for living as Christians in a world plunged into mass chaos. They also discover who the Antichrist is when a man who has encountered the Antichrist shares his nightmarish story . . .

Facing The Future

The book I read is in the Left Behind series.It's by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins.I read number four in the series. The protaganists are Judd,Vicki,Ryan,and Lionel. The book is Facing The Future. One night at 12:00 people disapeared from where they were all over the world there was mayhem.The best part was when the four kids became friends and then became the young tribulation force.

Everyone needs to read these

After reading the fourth book (Facing the Future) of the "Kids Left Behind" series, I would be scared to be here on earth and experience the tribulation and the events that go along with it.I would say that this will keep you on your toes and you will not want to stop reading. It also leaves you hanging on a cliff, and you will want to read the next book of the series. --TF

After the Rapture, 4 kids try to win people to Christ

This is an AWESOME BOOK! Me and all my friends like them and I have all of them. It shows how intense the end times will be and about 4 kids who try to win people to Christ and struggle against the Anti Christ, Nicolae Carpathis. It's cool how they are so close knit with the adult series. I can't wait tell Nicolae High, The Underground, Busted, and Death Strike come out!
