Description
Nicolae Carpathia is dead. But who
killed the Antichrist? The answer may surprise you. Book seven
in the best-selling Left Behind series marks the beginning of
the second half of the seven-year Tribulation period.
In dramatic
fashion, readers are exposed to the horrors of God's judgment
and the hope of salvation. Rayford, Buck, Chloe, and the rest
of the Tribulation Force find themselves at the center of
heart-stopping action. Number one on the New York Times
Best Sellers List for four weeks.
The Antichrist is
dead... or is he? The city of Chicago lies in ruins, the safe
house is blown, and the Global Community police are hot on the
heels of the Tribulation Force. And who assassinated Nicolae
Carpathia?
It's a formidable challenge to keep
the attention of an audience midway through a projected
12-volume series, but with their trademark blend of humor and
gripping suspense, authors Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye continue
to captivate readers with The Indwelling, the seventh
installment of the Left Behind series.
Carpathia's funeral takes a
hair-raising turn for the 4 million people who attend. Over the
crowd looms the centerpiece of a new world religion, a 24-foot
bronze statue of Carpathia, belching black smoke and demanding
obedience.
Woven through the fast-paced drama
are the ongoing stories of people struggling amid the end-times
mayhem: Chloe Williams wrestles with the moral implications of
killing her toddler Kenny to avoid having him fall into enemy
hands; her father Rayford Steele is brought face-to-face with
the consequences of his pride. Dr. Chaim Rosenzweig, a prominent
Jewish Israeli statesman, ponders a conversion to Christianity.
The strength of the series comes
from Jenkins's ability to keep the action moving and readers
caring about the characters. And there's a hook: The end of The
Indwelling promises, "If the last three and a half
years are your idea of tribulation, wait until you endure the
Great Tribulation." The bad news is just beginning. But,
the Tribulation Force believes, good news is also on the way. --Cindy
Crosby
I believe the 'Left Behind' books
are the greatest series of the End Times. All the books keep you
on the edge of your seats and just when you think you know
what's going to happen next, Tim Lahaye and Jerry Jenkins take
you on a whole new series of twists and turns. If
a non-believer were to read the Left Behind books and then read
Revelation and believe it that they could become saved. I think
it's wonderful that Christian writers are making best-selling Christian
series when practically all today's literature is evil and
corrupting. To take
a stand against these writers who write all about adultery and
sin. I believe this is such a good series. The Tribulation Force
(2nd) is exciting and thrilling. Nicolae, is a great book of
showing how deceptive the anti-christ is going to be. Soul
Harvest, is great and heart-rending as you travel to two sides
of the world with the characters. Apollyon is equally great. And
finally the Indwelling. It's wonderful! I'm sure all the Left
Behind Readers are clearly waiting anxiously for the next book,
The Mark. I read the
first chapter and if the rest of the book and the ones to follow
are anything like the first chapter, Then Rayford, Buck, Tsion,
& Chloe are in for greatest 'Survivor' game of their life to
stay alive until the Glorious Appearing. I
encourage and recommend this book to everyone. Whether your 20's
or in your 50's
