Book Reviews of The Remnant: On the Brink of Armageddon (Left Behind)
Book Review: Who is left after the desecration and devastation?
Summary: 5 Stars
.
The safety once found in the city of Chicago is lost, and the groups must divide and try to get to build new safe communities. I wish I had some of the technological devices that the Tribulation Force did. The techie in me loved the descriptions and wanted more. These tools allowed Chloe to manage her international conglomerate of Christian traders without slowing. Now, some of the shippers who supported the trading cause have been caught and killed. This is a time when only those with the mark of Carpathia can buy, sell, get medical aid, or go out without expecting to be captured.
This book is powerfully visual, but I would still like to know more about Petra, and if it does fit the Biblical place of refuge. It probably does since LaHaye and Jenkins have obviously done extensive Biblical research to put the series together. More descriptions, I think, would be helpful.
Millions of Judeo-Christians are living in this arid place where there is no source of water or food. However, just as God provided for the Israelites as they spent forty years wandering the deserts in the Old Testament, God provides manna and a continuous fountain. If it seems that the authors have used a deus ex machine process for the miracles, remember this is a series about God protecting his own and showing His miraculous intervention.
Carpathia sees millions of people in Petra, so he must try to destroy the city. A target so ready that how can he resist? But, just as he was unable to kill the two prophets in the streets of Jerusalem until their time was fulfilled, he is stopped by God's power. Frustrated, the antichrist's forces work to lure the undecided who reside in Petra into their fold.
More characters become primary, and I found many of them unique and fascinating. Intrigue and action are still the driving force for this book as Christians try to save other believers and those who have not yet taken the mark, which was required in book eight of the series. With millions of people still on earth, Carpathia's forces have not been able to compel everyone to receive the mark or die. It is still gory, and there are a lot of believers who are captured and killed. The antichrist's soldiers were hampered by the boils and sores, and perhaps this was God's way of giving aid to His remnant.
Hurry I need the next book. As I have stated previously, I am a captive audience; therefore, it is five stars for me. That is just my opinion.

Summary of The Remnant: On the Brink of Armageddon (Left Behind)
The incredible tenth book in the international best-selling Left Behind series is now available in paperback. The Great Tribulation unfolds as the forces of evil and the armies of God prepare for mankind's ultimate battle. Millions of Christians are protected by God as the anger of the Antichrist, Nicolae Carpathia, burns against them. Over 2.5 million copies sold in hardcover.The success of Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim LaHaye's fast-paced apocalyptic Left Behind thrillers is built on a straightforward Christian message and a blend of dialogue and action; the 10th installment of the series, The Remnant: On the Brink of Armageddon, sticks to the same proven formula that has captivated legions of fans. It's one month into the Great Tribulation, and a million people gather in the ancient city of Petra to await the foretold "Glorious Appearing." The Global Community loses no time in bombing the city, which is completely engulfed in flames, guaranteeing certain doom for those assembled unless a miracle occurs. In other parts of the world, martyrdom continues for the remnant of believers as Global Community potentate Nicolae Carpathia's thirst for blood escalates. There are lots of slick escapes, plenty of intrigue, some genuinely gory moments, and enough gruesome plagues straight out of the biblical Book of Revelation to keep readers turning the pages. When the Chicago believers are forced to scatter and discord breaks out among those gathered at Petra, changes accelerate for the Tribulation Force and other series characters, leaving an ample number of loose ends to be picked up in the next episode. --Cindy Crosby
