With over 11 million copies sold in the series, Left Behind: The Kids follows a group of teens who were "left behind" when other friends and family members were taken to heaven by God in the Rapture.

With background plots from Left Behind #11: Armageddon and Left Behind #12: Glorious Appearing, readers won't want to miss the spectacular conclusion to this series.

I sincerely question anyone who believes this to be an accurate interpretation of Revelation. LaHaye and Jenkins twist the Scripture out of its historical and cultural context and warp it beyond recognition in order to fit their version of theology that is predicated by the barest form of Biblical truth.
In addition, the characters are terribly written. None of them had any life, and all of them were nothing more than mouthpieces for whatever the authors wanted them to say. There was no investment for me in their growth, and I found myself not caring whether any of them lived or died. Even their Jesus was nothing more than a wooden figure regurgitating out-of-context Scripture passages and serving as the be-all and end-all of the slaughterfest the authors call the return of Christ.
If you are looking for a well-written take on this topic, I would suggest The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis. I found myself tearing up at the concepts presented in that book and the masterful way it was written.
Simply put, don't bother with this book. If you've made it this far, through the other thirty-nine, you may as well, but there is honestly nothing worth reading here. It's a thinly-disguised "Passion of the Christ"-esque version of the Second Coming and the only value in it is a satisfaction for LaHaye and Jenkins that they were right and everyone else was wrong. If you are purchasing this book for children... just don't. Find something else. The Chronicles of Narnia are a far more worthwhile investment, if you want my advice. Whatever you do, stay away from this one. ( )
