Product Description: Through a verse-by-verse analysis of these three
epistles, Dr. Akin (Dean of the School of Theology, Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary) examines the person and work of Christ, the avenues of assurance in
salvation, and the ever present danger of false teaching to the Christian
community. What we believe and how we live are carefully explored and shown to
be essential to a vibrant Christian life. Although the second and third letters
have been somewhat neglected, the first letter has proved to be a perennial
favorite of the Church throughout its history. Through careful exegesis, Dr.
Akin shows all three epistles of John to be both simple and profound while
offering a message for the Church in any generation.

Product Description: New Expanded Edition of When God Says No With Discussion
Questions for Group Use We love it when God answers prayer. He thunders from
heaven to answer Elijah, sending fire to ignite wet wood. He provides food and
work, heals the sick, reassembles broken marriages, brings wayward children
home. We wouldn't bother to ask God's help if we didn't want his resounding
"Yes!" to our prayers. When our prayers are good and reasonable, we see no
reason why a good and powerful God wouldn't grant what we ask. But even to the
greatest saints God sometimes says no. The "company of the denied" includes
David, Paul, even Jesus. Is it possible to make sense of unanswered prayer? With
wisdom and warmth, Leith Anderson probes prayer's toughest mysteries, leading
readers anew to the God who is worth trusting. Leith Anderson is senior pastor
of Wooddale Church in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. He has shepherded thousands of
people through both elation and despair and is one of America's best known
pastors.

About the Author Corrie ten Boom shared her story about her World War II
experiences in the bestseller The Hiding Place, and wrote more than twenty books
including In My Father's House, A Prisoner and Yet..., Jesus is Victor, and He
Cares, He Comforts. She spent more than thirty years sharing her faith with
people throughout the world. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
Product Description: In 1940, Corrie ten Boom was living with her father and
sister above their watch shop in Haarlem, Holland-and when their country was
invaded, this devoutly Christian family provided sanctuary for persecuted Jews.
Before long, the Nazis captured Corrie and her family. They were sent to a
concentration camp, where Corrie lost both her sister and father. But
remarkably, throughout this turbulent time, Corrie sustained the faith in God
that helped her become one of the most beloved evangelists of her time. Tramp
for the Lord continues Corrie ten Boom's extraordinary journey of hope following
the events recounted in her bestseller The Hiding Place. From her near-destitute
days in postwar New York to heart-stopping adventures in Africa, Corrie's
inspirational life story proves that miracles do happen. --This text refers to

Hardcover Zondervan Publishing Company
Amazon.com's Best of 2001 Jim Cymbala, pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle,
must be one fantastic sermon-giver. He's got it all: great storytelling skills,
the willingness to be humble and vulnerable as he admits his owns frailties, an
excellent command of Bible passages, and the ability to weave it all together
into a spiritual shawl that warms the soul long after the words have ended. In
Fresh Power, Cymbala once again draws upon his life and the lives of his church
members to bring forth a new lesson. This time Cymbala speaks to how Christians
can embrace the biblical meaning of "Holy Spirit" and follow the words of the
scripture to revitalize their faith as well as their church. From Publishers
Weekly This third book in Cymbala's bestselling trilogy (Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire
and Fresh Faith) explores the third person in the Trinity: the Holy Spirit. Like
its award-winning predecessors, it combines unforgettable anecdotes culled from
Cymbala's ministry as pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle with deep theological
and biblical truths, many of which are not easy to hear. It is clearly the
edgiest, most cutting book of the series, with Cymbala's passionate voice urging
Christians to abandon their comfort zones in favor of the unpredictable leadings
of the Spirit. He criticizes churchgoers who neglect the power of the Spirit,
chastising, for example, Christians who are so fixated on end-time prophecies
that they neglect God's work in the here and now. His harshest words are
reserved for the "the disastrous 'church-growth' movement," which, he says, has
convinced Christians everywhere that worship must be entertaining and
inoffensive. Cymbala utilizes the Book of Acts to explore the early Church's
practice of complete dependence upon the Spirit, citing not just the famous
Pentecost scene of Acts 2 but also many other examples of transformation
throughout the book (particularly Peter's metamorphosis from a fair-weather
friend of Jesus into a committed, Spirit-led apostle). Some readers may be made
uneasy by Cymbala's hard-hitting, take-no-prisoners approach, but others will
cheer his prophetic call to reformationDand, more importantly, be changed by it.

ABOUT THE BOOK Hosea, Joel: New American Commentary, Vol. 19 FROM THE
PUBLISHER The implement employed in these two prophets to capture the attention
and hearts of God's people is the symbol. In Joel it is the locust, a symbol of
impending destruction. In Hosea the prophet himself--and his scorned but
constant love--dramatically portrays God's message of grace and his call to
repent. With his customary exegetical skill and theological insight, Duane
Garrett guides us through these striking works of prophetic literature.

Board book Scribner
From Publishers Weekly This sequel to Joshua , an inspirational paperback
bestseller, continues Father Girzone's recasting of Jesus's mission in
contemporary settings. Joshua, an unusual and attractive young man, comes to a
village rent by partisan strife (e.g. Catholic vs. Protestant; guerrillas and
political agitators) and immediately captures the hearts of the children,
enchanting them with gentle stories and amusing sleight-of-hand until they carry
his message to the adults. Entering villagers' homes, Joshua eats and drinks at
family meals, casts out fear, heals divisions on many levels. His legacy,
following his death at the hands of violent men, flourishes in the children "who
almost overnight came to dominate the political life of the country." Since the
story is a parable set in a place that could represent Northern Ireland or any
other faction-ridden community, the applications of the message are broad. The
simple, childlike tone and the inspirational subtext will appeal to the audience
that enjoyed Joshua . Girzone is a retired Catholic priest of the Albany, N.Y.,
diocese. 150,000 first printing. Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Product Description: The Story Continues... Joseph F. Girzone has woven another
magical story, a modern-day parable, in Joshua and the Children, which
gracefully continues the teachings and inspirations from his previous
bestseller, Joshua. A stronger Joshua arrives in a deceptively ordinary village
only to witness the doings of unscrupulous leaders and violent people. The
children are the first to recognize that something is quite different about this
stranger who has come seemingly from nowhere. It is through the villagers'
children that Joshua is able to restore a sense of peacefulness and honesty. "A
new day had dawned, a new spirit spread throughout the land, and it all seemed
to have happened because of the simple, unassuming goodness of one gentle
stranger who knew only how to love."--This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Amazon.com Angels: God's Secret Agents is Billy Graham's one-volume
introduction to one of the most popular spiritual phenomena of our time. Firmly
grounded in Graham's close readings of scripture, Angels testifies to Graham's
own encounters with the heavenly beings and also records the many similar
stories that other believers have told him over the years. Graham devotes entire
chapters to the questions of whether angels are visible or invisible, how they
differ from men and women, and how the angelic hierarchy is organized. He also
discusses the much-debated theory that UFO sightings are in fact angelic
appearances. Perhaps the primary purpose of this book, however, is to inform
readers that armies of angels are ready and willing to help Christians in their
daily fights against the forces of darkness. "Millions of angels are at God's
command and at our service," Graham writes. "The hosts of heaven stand at
attention as we make our way from earth to glory, and Satan's BB guns are no
match for God's heavy artillery." Such stirring theological pronouncements are
matched with practical advice for believers who wish to know the angelic powers
in everyday life. --Kevin Attwood --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

ABOUT THE BOOK Approaching Hoofbeats: The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse
FROM THE PUBLISHER 'They come as a warning, and grow louder by the day, ' says
Billy Graham, who equates the ancient symbols with the modern terrors that
pursue us: war, violence, deception, economic chaos, unemployment, poverty,
hunger, disease and death. But for those who will heed the warning, Dr. Graham's
message is one of hope - practical, creative and clear direction for men and
women, young and old who will read and be transformed by this book.

Amazon.com "What is the difference between the paraplegic woman with the
smile that lights a room and the millionaire with a suicide wish?" asks Billy
Graham. "Or what makes one person accept and keep his balance during a painful
time, and another become a self-pitying whiner?" Hope for the Troubled Heart:
Finding God in the Midst of Pain is Graham's attempt to answer these questions
and the larger question that underlies them: why, in a world full of pain,
should people hope and not despair? Perhaps the most powerful thing about this
book is the sheer number of its heartbreaking stories about people suffering
from abuse, loneliness, sickness, emptiness, financial ruin, and other
calamities. Nearly every reader will find something to relate to. Graham's
stories do not stop at desolation, however. They press further, to show how
suffering people find solace in the Bible, in the love of other believers, and
in the hope of heaven. What Graham offers in this book is a reason to be
patient, a reason to believe that the forces of destruction need not have the
last word in human life. "A few more days may dawn and darken and we will know
the unending day," he writes. "A few brief years, or brief moments, and we shall
enter that eternal city, sit in the shadow of the Tree of Life, and drink the
crystal clear water. We have only had a foretaste on earth of what it means to
love and be loved." That, in the end, is the greatest reason for hope that
Graham offers. --Kevin Attwood --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Hardcover HarperSanFrancisco
Amazon.com Every year a Billy Graham crusade comes to a stadium or a
television station near you, the message unchangingly passionate, though the
messenger is grayer than he once was. The Reverend Billy Graham is more than
just another television evangelist; he is as much a part of this country's
collective consciousness as F.D.R. or the Vietnam War. Whether you subscribe to
Graham's brand of ecumenical evangelism or not, Just As I Am reveals the man
behind the crusade to be forthright, deeply religious, and driven to spread the
Word at all costs, even his relationships with his family. Graham is
characteristically honest about his failings as a husband and father, admitting
that he didn't recognize his own children at a family gathering. In Just As I Am
Graham discusses the beginnings of his career, his struggle to subsume intellect
to faith, and, of course, the many famous--and infamous--people he has met over
the years, everyone from the Shah of Iran to the Queen Mother to mobster Mickey
Cohen. Graham's ministry has extended his influence to many quarters of the
world, a fact that should make his autobiography interesting reading for
believers and non-believers alike. From Library Journal In this memoir, Graham
looks back at age 78 on his lifetime of personal relationships, ministry,
leadership, and experiences. He chronicles such events and stories as his
boyhood in North Carolina, his first steps in ministry, details of evangelistic
trips and revivals, and meetings with world and local leaders. There are 35
pages of photos, four pages outlining all his crusades from 1947 to 1996, a list
of all his books, and a 15-page index of names and places. Graham concludes his
memoir with a look at the lessons he has learned in the course of his work. His
honesty in describing the toll that his travels placed on his family and his
ready willingness to credit the many who added to his journey make this both a
heartwarming and memorable reflection. All libraries would do well to stock this
readable title by an important national figure.?Leroy Hommerding, Citrus Cty.

Jenkins, is another suspenseful chronicle of those left behind after the rapture
of the saved. As the book opens, Hattie Durham, the former airline attendant and
mistress of the antichrist, Nicolae Carpathia, is wracked with confusion about
what to do with her illegitimate child, whose birth date is coming due. Rayford
Steele, the airline pilot who flies Carpathia's plane, is ambivalent about the
mounting evidence that his late wife, Amanda, may have been a false believer.
Buck, the ace newspaper reporter, and Chloe, his wife, are debating whether to
have a child when the future of the world is so uncertain. And all of the
world's thousands of believers are gathering in Jerusalem for a stadium rally,
which will lead to a showdown with Nicolae Carpathia. Believers are increasingly
relying on the Internet for underground communication, and most of them are
becoming more and more tempted by violence as a way of battling the forces of
evil overtaking the world. But demon locusts are shortly dispatched as a divine
plague to attack those who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads; this
buys the believers a little bit of time to solve their respective personal
crises, all of which end in ways that will keep you riveted until the last

Amazon.com The village of Mitford is soothing tonic for a readership that
feels starved for community and yearns for clear morals. The recently married
Father Tim and his plain-folk neighbors live the best of Christianity in
everyday life. Even the rampant gossip in Mitford is the good kind: folks
worrying about other folks and everyone minding one another's business out of
concern rather than malice. As a result, no one faces a crisis alone. Often the
crises are cause for a belly laugh, such as the rectory's new computer system
that seems programmed to torment. But just as often the crises have the bite of
real-life problems, such as the bloody young girl in shredded clothes, whom
Father Tim finds after she was beaten by her drunken father, and the
soul-wrenching despair Father Tim feels when he loses a surrogate mother. The
heavily quoted scripture gives a day-to-day context for biblical teachings as
well as spiritual solace during the sadder days at Mitford. --Gail Hudson From
Publishers Weekly This third in the Mitford series (At Home in Mitford?a 1996
ABBY Book of the Year finalist?and Light in the Window) is another sympathetic
portrayal of small-town Southern life with just enough drama to carry the plot
and gracefully developed portraits of endearing characters. Allusions to past
events and cameos by peripheral characters will delight the fan but may
frustrate the reader new to Karon's work. Mitford is a Southeastern mountain
town where everyone turns out for benefactress Sadie Baxter's birthday, where
the police chief gives copies of Southern Living to inmates?and where social
trouble brews in a hillbilly enclave across the creek. Episcopal minister
Timothy Kavanagh of Lord's Chapel is the pivotal character. A lifelong bachelor
adjusting to marriage for the first time at 63, he has no perspective on his
faith and future until he and his new wife, Cynthia, are lost?and found?in a
cave on a youth-group camping trip. Most compelling in Timothy's affectionately
drawn flock are the young people. Thirteen-year-old Dooley Barlowe was abandoned
at the rectory and now struggles to adjust to Timothy's Pygmalion efforts; Lacey
Turner, also 13, is saved from her father's abuse as much by Timothy as by
social services. Like glass chips tumbling in a kaleidoscope, the people at
Mitford fall neatly into place at story's end, having provided a cozy and
satisfying read. Author tour. Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Hardcover Berkley Publishing Group
From Publishers Weekly Billed as the Painter of Light, Kinkade claims to be
"the most collected living artist" and the heir apparent to Norman Rockwell.
This sugarcoated modern fairy tale reflects the pastel-tinted idealism of
Kinkade's paintings and is clearly intended to extol the power of prayer as put
forth by Protestant Christian doctrines. Taking temporary leave of her Boston
bank job, 32-year-old Jessica Warwick returns home to the idyllic nearby village
of Cape Light to help her older sister, Emily, the town's mayor, care for their
domineering mother, who has suffered a stroke. Thinking of her budding romance
with sophisticated Paul Copperfield, an older career-oriented man, Jessica is
counting the days until her mother recovers sufficiently so she can leave this
prosaic, Bible-thumping town and return to her job in the city. Outside of the
church, the quotidian life of the community centers around the Clam Box, a local
eatery operated by Charlie and Lucy Bates. Charlie, a vocal critic of Emily's
leadership, is mounting a campaign to oppose her in the upcoming election.
Unbeknownst to Emily, Sara Franklin, the college girl waiting tables at the Clam
Box, is the daughter she gave up for adoption two decades ago, following her
husband's tragic death. Meanwhile, Jessica finds herself falling for Sam Morgan,
the town's jack-of-all-trades. As Jessica's growing attraction to churchgoing
Sam conflicts with her career-oriented dreams, the plot sags under a surfeit of
trite, blatantly proselytizing Christian subplots and syrupy sentimentality.
(Mar.)Forecast: With his chain of galleries across the nation, Kinkade has
recourse to built-in channels of marketing and distribution, so expect healthy
sales. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc. From Booklist It's rare
that someone can move easily from one medium to another, and popular "painter of
light" and devout Christian Kinkade is no exception, in spite of receiving help
from coauthor Spencer. Things get off to a rough start as dozens of Cape Light
residents are introduced in the first chapter, making it difficult to
distinguish the main from the secondary characters, but eventually Jessica and
Sam emerge as central figures. Career-minded Jessica has temporarily returned
from Boston to Cape Light to nurse her mother back to health. She soon meets
Sam, the town handyman, and despite their differences, they fall in love.
Jessica admires Sam for his small-town values, which include helping friends in
need and attending church regularly, but can she give up her dream of a
cultured, big-city life? It takes a big storm and some serious prayer to help
them find the answer. As intriguing as their predicament is, Cape Light falls
flat due in part to the fact that the authors take pains to introduce secondary
characters and their conflicts but never resolve them (Is a sequel planned?),
and mainstream readers may be put off by the surfeit of heavy-handed religious
references. The Kinkade painting on the cover will attract his many fans, but
it's likely that the content will disappoint. Megan Kalan Copyright © American

ABOUT THE BOOK The Act of Marriage: The Beauty of Sexual Love FROM THE
PUBLISHER Yes, lovemaking does change after 40, but it is still the most
thrilling experience two married people of the opposite sex can experience on
this earth! In this practical, fun-to-read, illustrated guidebook, Tim and
Beverly LaHaye cover a broad spectrum of key topics and show married couples how
to experience a more satisfying and joy-filled sex life long after age 40.
Millions of married couples have questions about sexual intimacy. Yet all too
often, their questions go unasked . . . or unanswered. This easy-reading,
medically sound book candidly addresses issues of intimacy. Does sexual desire
actually reverse with aging? How does menopause affect a woman's sex drive? How
can exercise and nutritional supplements improve our sex life? Is there such a
thing as male menopause? What can we do to put more spark into our lovemaking?
You'll learn about sexual desire and dysfunction. Understand the risk and
temptation of extramarital affairs. Gain a better understanding of menopause and
the dangers of breast and prostate cancer. Learn how to prepare for, and adjust
to, physical changes affecting lovemaking. You and your spouse can rekindle that
sexual spark in your marriage--or build even stronger intimacy and commitment.
Author Biography: Tim LaHaye, D.Min., Litt.D., is a noted author, minister,
educator, and nationally recognized speaker on Bible prophecy. He is president
of Tim LaHaye Ministries and founder of the Pre Trib Research Center. He has
written over forty books, including The Act of Marriage and The Act of Marriage
After 40 (both with Beverly LaHaye), How to Win Over Depression,
Spirit-Controlled Temperament, and the best-selling Left Behind fictionseries
(with Jerry B. Jenkins). Tim and his wife, Beverly, live in Southern California.
Beverly LaHaye is the best-selling author of (with Terri Blackstock) Seasons
Under Heaven, Showers in Season, and Times and Seasons, and of (with her
husband, Tim) The Act of Marriage. She is the founder and chairwoman of
Concerned Women for America and shares a daily devotional commentary on the
nationally syndicated radio show Concerned Women Today. She and her husband live
in southern California. Mike Yorkey, with thirty books to his credit, is a
long-suffering San Diego Padres fan living in Encinitas, California. FROM THE
CRITICS Publishers Weekly Stress, aging and illness can contribute to a flagging
sexual relationship for men and women after age 40. But the LaHayes, whose 1976
2.5-million-copy bestseller, The Act of Marriage, made it more permissible for
evangelical Christians to discuss sex openly, say that combining the correct
frame of mind with a few basic techniques can make the middle to golden years
the richest and most sexually fulfilling. The husband-and-wife team (writing
with Mike Yorkey, former editor of Focus on the Family magazine) cover the
spectrum of sex and aging by discussing both male and female menopause,
fluctuations in sexual desire, erectile dysfunction, breast and prostate cancer,
common temptations and the importance of maintaining good health to enhance peak
sexual performance. They offer practical tips and suggestions for the bedroom,
demonstrating how spirituality affects sexual intimacy. Specifically, the
authors advise couples to work on cultivating a warm relationship before
entering the bedroom. They should take time to make thoughtful physical
preparations and choose surroundings that are comfortable for both partners.
Foreplay should offer a gentle touch, and intercourse involves finding those
positions most conducive to mutual pleasure. The authors include a fascinating
survey of approximately 800 men and women who answered 71 questions on their
sexual history, satisfaction and habits. Each chapter is worthy of thoughtful,
careful reading, offering hope to "over-40" married Christian couples. (Oct.)

Amazon.com 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

Force is drawn inexorably toward the Middle East, as are all the armies of the

year of the Great Tribulation, safe houses are no longer safe, and the cast of
characters dramatically changes. By the time of the war of the great day of God
the Almighty, the globe has become a powder keg of danger. Except those already
in Petra, everyone has been forced to relocate as Antichrist ratchets up the
pressure in the world's most treacherous game. Who will be left standing when
the battle leaves the Tribulation Force on the brink of the end of time and the

This installment in the Left Behind series picks up with Rayford
Steele--"believer" and international fugitive--as he struggles with a plan to
assassinate Antichrist Nicolae Carpathia. Meanwhile, Carpathia has been busy
rebuilding roads, airports, and a cellular/solar satellite phone system--all
designed to help him become supreme ruler of the world--and even claim himself
to be God. We also find ace reporter Buck Williams anonymously preaching to the
masses of believers and converts through his cyberspace magazine The Truth. All
the believers in the safe house, including Buck, Doc, Chloe, and Tsion, are
suspicious of Hattie--former mistress of Carpathia--who claims to be a believer
but may have already compromised their secret location when she tried to buy her
way to Europe months before. Fans of the series won't be disappointed. Jenkins's
signature writing is at full force. Readers can count on a suspenseful plot,
imaginative futuristic thinking, and familiar characters, all of which appear in
the opening pages and are sustained until the last cliffhanger scene when God
unleashes another earth-shattering disaster.--This text refers to the Hardcover
edition. From Library Journal In the continuing struggle after the Rapture,
Rayford Steele and Buck Williams plan to dethrone Nicolae Carpathia and expose
him as the Antichrist. LaHaye and Jenkins (Apollyon) build up a plot reminiscent

did it, is he really dead, and when is the next book coming out? As the

From Publishers Weekly Jesus returns at last in this 12th novel in the
phenomenally popular Left Behind series, vanquishing his foes and ushering in a
new millennium of peace and righteousness. Ray Steele is the only member of the
original Tribulation Force alive to see it, however, since Buck Williams endures
a bloody death in the opening pages. The novel's pacing suffers greatly from its
own foregone conclusion. Antichrist Nicolae Carpathia, once a fearsome and suave
foe, is reduced to shrill hysteria in this installment, and seems more of a
cartoon character than a credible instrument of Satan. And the final wars (there
are four of them in quick succession) add no drama to the plot, since believers
are by that point impervious to harm; neither the bullets from the Unity army or
the supernatural lightning raining down from the sky can touch the Christian
holdouts. It must have been difficult to imagine the words that Jesus would
speak on such an occasion, but the authors' cautious solution-to draw almost
solely on the statements spoken by or about Jesus in the New Testament-feels
wooden. However, the book is not devoid of humor, and fans of the series will
enjoy the gentle, affectionate camaraderie that exists among the excited members
of the ragtag brigade of believers. For readers who have stuck with this soap
opera through thick and thin, there is a real emotional payoff in seeing the
characters' reunions with their loved ones who died during the Tribulation.

Amazon.com Piloting his 747, Rayford Steele is musing about his wife Irene's
irritating religiosity and contemplating the charms of his "drop-dead gorgeous"
flight attendant, Hattie. First Irene was into Amway, then Tupperware, and now
it's the Rapture of the Saints--the scary last story in the Bible in which
Christians are swept to heaven and unbelievers are left behind to endure the
Antichrist's Tribulation. Steele believes he'll put the plane on autopilot and
go visit Hattie. But Hattie's in a panic: some of the passengers have
disappeared! The Rapture has happened, abruptly driverless cars are crashing all
over, and the slick, sinister Romanian Nicolae Carpathia plans to use the UN to
establish one world government and religion. Resembling "a young Robert Redford"
and silver-tongued in nine languages, Carpathia is named People's "Sexiest Man
Alive." (This reviewer, a former People writer, finds this plot twist
plausible.) Meanwhile, Steele teams up with Buck Williams, a buck-the-system
newshound, to form the Tribulation Force, an underground of left-behind
penitents battling the Antichrist. Ex-presidential candidate Pat Robertson
briefly outsold Michael Crichton with his apocalypse novel The End of the Age
(now available on audiocassette), and the similar The Third Millennium sells
well, but the Left Behind series is the absolute champion in the race to make
the Book of Revelation into racy thriller reading. --Tim Appelo From Library
Journal On a flight from Chicago to London, several passengers aboard Capt.
Rayford Steele's plane suddenly and mysteriously disappear. When Steele radios
to London to report the situation, he discovers that the incident on his plane
is not an isolated phenomenon but a worldwide occurrence. As Steele begins his
search for answers, he learns that the Christ has come to take the faithful with
Him in preparation for the coming apocalyptic battle between good and evil and
that those who have been left behind must face seven dark and chaotic years in
which they must decide to join the forces of Christ or the forces of
Anti-Christ. Jenkins, writer-in-residence at Moody Press, and LaHaye (A Nation
Without a Conscience, Tyndale, 1994) have written a gripping thriller that
captures the anxiety and fear that interpretations of Revelation often inspire.

Amazon.com Antichrist. The very word send shivers through us. And Nicolae
Carpathia certainly does not disappoint as Antichrist. Nicolae is the third book
in Left Behind series written by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins, and is preceded
by book one, Left Behind, and book two, Tribulation Force. Nicolae Carpathia
becomes the focus as he continues to consolidate his power, unifying political
states ("Global Community"), media ("Global Community Network," "Global
Weekly"), and religions ("Enigma Babylon One World Faith") under a
Nicolae-appointed supreme pontiff. Nicolae himself is grand potentate of the
global community. Our heroes, pilot Rayford Steele and journalist Buck Williams,
along with the rest of the Tribulation Force, continue their struggle to survive
and protect their families in the midst of global war and destruction. They have
come to recognize Nicolae Carpathia to be the Antichrist prophesied in the
Bible, and to them it comes as no great revelation that this man, who presented
himself as a charming and benevolent leader, has been unmasked as a ruthless and
cruel tyrant, manipulating people and events to serve his own ends. And his ends
are undoubtedly evil. It becomes apparent that the chaos and turmoil created by
Nicolae are the fulfillment of John's prophesy of the seven seals as recorded in
the book of Revelation. And it becomes also apparent they are now facing the
sixth seal, a great earthquake which is sometimes called "the wrath of the
lamb." This upheaval of the earth, with its accompanying death and destruction,
is familiar apocalyptic imagery: a blood-red moon, a sun turned black, and the
stars falling from the sky. And the Tribulation Force discovers that these
incredible descriptions turn out to be not so very far from the truth. Who
survives? How? What does Nicolae have in mind for the world? Readers of the
first two books should not be disappointed with this third installment to this
chilling tale. From AudioFile Tom Swift meets Norman Vincent Peale. In the third
installment of a quasi-religious fantasy/adventure, a team of modern true
believers battles Nicolae Carpathia (as in the Carpathian Mountains, Dracula's
bailiwick, get it?), whom they believe to embody the Antichrist. Here,
Armaggedon draws nigh as Carpathia sets off WWIII. Richard Ferrone throws
himself into the melodrama with an appropriately childlike ingenuousness. He
reminds one of a Boy Scout telling his pals a thrilling tale before the camp
fire. Y.R. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland,

Amazon.com Having survived the wrath of the Lamb--a global earthquake in the
21st month of the Tribulation--pilot Rayford Steele and reporter Buck Williams
now embark on a journey of absorbing adventure and Christian triumph. Soul
Harvest is book four in the enormously popular Left Behind series (seven books
are planned in all), based on those who are left behind in the Rapture. Written
with the same gripping pace of Tom Clancy and John Grisham (film rights have
already been sold for the first two books), the authors take us to Iraq,
America, underground shelters, and the bottom of the Tigris river as Steele and
Williams search for loved ones. Meanwhile, biblical prophecies are fulfilled at
every turn, including the great soul harvest. For many Christian followers, this
series has become a tangible and thrilling testament to the Book of Revelations.

The fourth book in the "Left Behind" series (Nicolae, Tyndale, 1997) brings back
Rayford Steele and Buck Williams, staunch members of the Tribulation Force, an
evangelical group fighting evil Nicolae Carpathia. An earthquake has left both
men searching for their loved ones while they attempt to bring about Nicolae's
downfall. Readers of the earlier books should be thrilled at the return of their
heroes, and the action and intrigue here certainly matches that in the rest of
the series. Characterization, especially of the female characters, is thin, but
that shouldn't dull fans' demand. Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information,

Amazon.com 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--This text refers to the Hardcover edition. Book 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

Amazon.com 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
Crosby--This text refers to the Hardcover edition. From Publishers Weekly In
this eighth installment of the bestselling Left Behind series, Satan has taken
full possession of Antichrist Nicolae Carpathia, who demands that all Global
Community citizens bow to him in worship and take his mark on their foreheads or
right hands. This spells trouble for the members of the Tribulation Force, who
have pledged their unswerving allegiance to Christ. Without the mark of the
beast, they face torturous persecution and death; several of their associates
have become martyrs. Hiding in a bombed-out (but still posh and technologically
enviable) Chicago office building, they depend upon a network of other
Christians for food and supplies. The believers' public enemy status doesn't
prevent the swashbuckling men among them from performing their usual task of
rescuing helpless female believers. Armed only with phony IDs and Bond-like cell
phones, they whisk around the world preaching how the Book of Revelation
predicted every calamity that has befallen the planet. There are some worthwhile
moments here, but the authors" lazy exposition leads to scenes that don't ring
true. When a Christian woman is killed by a supernatural lightning bolt and her
fianc mourns that "no lightning bolt... could extinguish a love so pure," the
sentiment falls flat; their love story has only been told, never shown, and the
doomed woman"s character remains undeveloped. Fans who have thrilled to the
series' repeated car chases, airplane runway escapes and glitzy technology will
find more of the same. Others will earnestly pray for the hastening of the
Glorious Appearing, which will bring the series to a close. (Nov. 14) Forecast:
Tyndale's phenomenal success with The Indwelling, which debuted at the #1 spot
on PW's hardcover fiction bestseller list on June 5, likely will be repeated
with The Mark, although sales for the former benefited from a "whodunit" mystery
that has no parallel in the new novel. Tyndale has planned a 2.5 million first

From Publishers Weekly It's a family reunion of sorts in Lewis's newest
offering, a story collection in three parts to update her devotees on the
progress of the Amish and "fancy Englischer" characters in her previous novels,
all held together by the common thread of their Pennsylvania Dutch country
setting. "Hickory Hollow" describes Katie and Daniel's wedded bliss (The
Heritage of Lancaster County series) and Katie's overtures toward her family and
church friends, who have shunned her. We find the characters from The Postcard,
Rachel and her husband, Philip (a former "fancy Englischer"), settled into
family life in Bird-in-Hand. Philip struggles to gain acceptance from his Amish
peers as he helps to fight a fire and tries his hand at a barn raising. In
"Grasshopper," we are brought up to speed on Lydia's courtship by Levi (from The
Redemption of Sarah Cain). Although the book is touted as "perfect for Lewis
fans and new readers," it would be a tough introduction for someone unfamiliar
with her work. The dialect "wonderful-gut," "redding," "perty" and "jah" can
make the reading as slow as molasses for the uninitiated. One wonders why each
of these vignettes wasn't a full-fledged sequel; it feels a bit like Lewis threw
three unfinished novels into one book. But Lewis fans will be pleased to find
the same consistent writing they've come to enjoy, and to catch glimpses of how
their favorite characters are faring. (Oct.)Forecast: Although many critics find
Lewis's Amish-themed novels as overly sweet as shoofly pie, her fans are loyal
and legion. More than three million copies of her books are now in print. Her
followers will enjoy this, jah. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information,

From Library Journal Lewis returns to Lancaster County with a collection of
short stories that revisit characters from The Shunning, The Postcard, and other
titles in the "Lancaster County Books" series. As she catches readers up on the
lives of Katie and Dan, Bishop John and Mary, Rachel and Philip, Sarah Cain, and
many more, Lewis shows the diversity of Christian beliefs in this community and
the effect that choosing to follow God has had on the families divided by
different beliefs. These vignettes of the Amish and the English (as the Amish
call the non-Amish) will find a welcome home in all collections with a strong

From Publishers Weekly Sarah Cain is happyAwith her urban townhouse, her BMW,
her success as a real estate broker in Portland, Ore. Her days are brimming over
with e-mail, phone calls, appointments and closings, and that's just the way she
likes it. The best thing about her self-absorbed existence is that she has
broken free of the shadow of her controlling older sister, Ivy, a widow who
lives with her five children in an Amish community in Lancaster County, Pa.
Sarah, a nonbeliever, never supported Ivy's decision to embrace the Plain
People. She considers it a type of punishment to keep the children from enjoying
a normal American lifestyle. But it's none of her business, at least not until
she receives word that Ivy has met an untimely death, and has named Sarah as her
children's guardian. At first resentful that she must travel 3,000 miles to tend
to some children who are essentially strangers, Sarah discovers that she
appreciates a simpler way of life. She chafes, however, under Amish scrutiny and
the expectations of five grieving orphans. Sarah endeavors to remain emotionally
aloof from the children while trying to make decisions about their futureAa
struggle, especially since the eldest looks and acts so much like Ivy. Lewis,
