Description
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. The biggest
novel of 2002 is highly anticipated by consumers worldwide.
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
