This book is number seven in the Left Behind series. This is not one of my favorite books of the series as it is quite slow and you don't feel as though you have really picked up where you left off in book six until you are half way through book seven. This series is not the best written series I have ever read, I don't enjoy of often the author switches between groups of characters and settings. The series is thought provoking however, and does peak my interest to research how much of what is in the book is utilizing artistic license and what is fact according to the scriptures.
