If you have which one is you favorite and why?
The Mark because it shows you what kind of things the earlier Christian had to good through, Like being killed for your faith.

Yeah I was told about this series a while ago and I was going to get the first one, then I kinda forgot about it for awhile. Then when I was at a book store getting a studybible, I saw at least half of the series. So I bought the first one (Left Behind) and it was awesome. I couldn't put it down, I read it in four days, like almost 500 pages??. I'm kind of a slow reader and I work like 10 hours a day, so that's a feat for me (unlike some of you speed-readers out there). That one is the only one I have read so far, so you can guess which one my favorite is right now. I do plan to read on through the series. It's a lot of books though, eleven more I think. I do recommend at least the first one, 'twas a very good book--check it out. 'Left Behind' by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.

I started to read it, and got as far as the third book.
I consider it to be moderately good Fantasy.
As a prophetic series though I feel it's total garbage.

I read them except for the last two (I think). I realize that some folks sort of jumped in midway through the series but come on - my main complaint with the latter books is how they spent 1/3 to 1/2 of the book explaining the backstory. I found that somewhat lacking as it took far too long to get to the "meat and potatoes" of the new editions.
Just my 2 ducats.

Yes, my daughter in TN and I read them at the same time this spring,getting them 4 at a time from our libraries. She had nightmares and I had weird dreams,LOL,but we loved every one of them. Too hard to choose a favorite,possibly,The Remnant,because I was in awe of the story of Petra and what was going on outside.! The same with the characters,except I would lean towards Tsion Ben-Judah ,because of his closeness to God,being such a holy man.

read most of them, finally got tired of what I considered rather bad storytelling. When I first started reading them, I was a pre-trib rapture believer, but as time went on, my views on it changed and it got too hard to read them because I no longer believed in that theory, and besides, did I mention that the writing was mediocre at best?
I'd much rather read something by Dekker....his stuff isn't too bad
