Description
The exciting eighth book in the Left
Behind series has sold over 2.5 million copies in hardcover
and is now available in trade paperback. With over 40 million
products sold, the Left Behind series is an international
phenomenon.
It's
the dawn of the Great Tribulation, "the bloodiest season in
the history of the world." After lying in state for three
days, Nicolae Carpathia has risen from the dead. As the world
responds in awe, statues of the potentate and "god"
are erected in every major city, and a new religion, "Carpathianism,"
is in full swing.
Followers
of the antichrist are branded with a loyalty mark on their right
hands or their foreheads, and "vaccinated" with a
biochip embedded with personal information.
Those
who refuse the mark take a one-way trip to the guillotine. The
second coming of Christ is only three-and-one-half years away.
But can the Tribulation Force hang on?
"The God who calls you to the
ultimate sacrifice will also give you the power to endure it. No
one can receive the mark of the beast by accident. It is a
once-and-for-all decision that will forever condemn you to
eternity without God," writes Tsion Ben-Judah in his daily
newsletter with its cyberaudience of more than a billion.
Heavenly power may be the only hope
for the Tribulation Force, as it struggles to survive amidst new
terrors, the death of more loved ones, and some unexpected
twists in its plans.
The Mark: The Beast Rules the
World is the eighth installment in the blockbuster Left
Behind series. Rich in dialogue, this action-packed thriller
delivers the same consistent mix of apocalyptic mayhem and
quirky humor readers have come to expect from the pen of Jerry
Jenkins and the prophetic interpretations of Tim LaHaye. --Cindy

The LEFT BEHIND SERIES is one of
the best series of Christian books I've ever read, and
certainly, it's one of the best end times fiction series,
although IN HIS IMAGE and THE CHRIST CLONE TRILOGY by James
BeauSeigneur are also good.
So far, the series has zoomed
since book one when the rapture occurred and those "left
behind" were forced to grapple with the implications of
missing friends and family members.
I love this series, and I can't
wait for the conclusion. Left Behind fans should also read
CONQUEST OF PARADISE by Britt Gillette. It does in one book
what Left Behind has taken many to do, and the book presents
ideas for the possible rise to power of the antichrist that
I've never heard before.
If you even like the LEFT BEHIND
SERIES just a little bit, then you'll love CONQUEST OF
PARADISE! I'm looking forward to reading ARMAGEDDON. It should
be one of the most exciting books in the series.
