Customer Reviews for Tyndale House Apollyon, Left Behind Series #5 (rpkgd)
Tyndale House Apollyon, Left Behind Series #5 (rpkgd)
As the world's thousands of believers gather in Jerusalem for a stadium rally, the Tribulation Force struggles with their own personal crises. Newspaper reporter Buck Williams and his wife, Chloe, question whether or not they should have a child when the future of the world is so uncertain. Meanwhile, Rayford Steele discovers the shocking truth about his wife, Amanda.\
Nicolae Carpathia continues his rise to power, forcing believers underground. But Nicolae isn't prepared for a plague of scorpion-like locusts tormenting his followers-with a pain so horrible that men try to kill themselves but aren't allowed to die.

The Left Behind books only get better and better. This is a series I *almost* said "every Christian" should read. Honestly everyone should read it, whether they're a Christian or not. The theme is powerful and the storyline is gripping. Apollyon begins, of course, where the last book left off. Ray is still trying to find out the truth about his 2nd wife, Amanda. What he finds out is not what it seems and will end up taking twists and turns to surprise you. As for the "apollyons"--they are sooo creepy! This is where the series gets very frightening and makes you hope with all your heart to avoid the tribulation when it really does come! Read this book, but read the others first. This is one series that needs to be read from book 1 to book last!

I really enjoyed the entire Left Behind series. While the reader must remember that it is fiction, the story is fast paced. It is a quick read and really draws you in. The series is definitely a worthwhile read and will keep you wanting to keep reading the series. I would definitely recommend it for a light summer read.

This fifth book in the best-selling Left Behind series takes readers along the Biblical timeline of Earth’s demise. Those who have become Christians take on the treacherous journey to Jerusalem, as they prepare to fight for their lives and their newly found faith. Carpathia attempts to rise to the occasion to face off with the two witnesses at the Wailing Wall, all while the Trumpet Judgment seals of God open and wreak havoc on Earth’s remaining vegetation. Rayford and Buck continue their quest to spread Earth’s only news salvation available to mankind: the grace of God and Glorious Appearing of the Lord Jesus Christ. Many souls are lost as the ruler, the chief demon of the bottomless pit, Apollyon, unleash horsemen to kill many of the remaining population. Yet, the reader is given hope, as one of the main characters, Chloe, delivers a healthy baby at the end of the book, despite the world’s circumstances and Earth’s precarious condition.
This was a book I reviewed for Tyndale House Publishers.

"Apollyon" is the fifth in the series of fiction books by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins chronicling the events that take place in the world during the end times. The books follow several main characters as they fight for their lives and for their faith as the world makes its way to the last days.
In this book, believers come from all over the world to a rally that is to be held in Jerusalem. As the Tribulation Force (as the main characters are known) prepares for this rally, they each also deal with their own personal issues.
Nicolae has become a powerful leader who now sees the believers of the world as a threat. What he doesn’t expect is the beginning of the foretold plagues that will torment his own followers.

While the previous books in this series were good, I think this book is where it really picked up for me. There were some twists and surprises in this one that I didn’t expect, and this is when the line clearly becomes drawn between those who follow Nicolae and those who follow Christ.
My favorite part of this book is when Tsion Ben-Judah starts doing sermons over the internet! I read these books (many years agao) right after we got the internet on our home computer, and it was just so fascinating to me that this could be done.

It was also interesting to see that the judgements that affected those who were non-believers did not affect those who were believers.
This series of novels is a fictionalized account of the events of the end times. I enjoyed the whole series. While this book is geared towards Christians, there is enough action and depth to it that should appeal to all. The characters are well done, and it is easy to follow the many plots that are going on within these books.

Apollyon was a thrilling adventure with many twists and turns just like the previous stories in the series. I love how the stories highlight each of the judgments in the tribulation. The reader is able to see specifically what happens during each judgment and how it affects all of the characters. I thought after reading the first four books that I had become accustomed to surprises in this series. However, I never expected what happened during this fifth book. I am anxious to continue the story.

After the meeting of the witnesses, churches spring up everywhere. The 144,000 take charge, teaching their congregations from Ben-Judah internet sermons. Rayford discovers the truth about Amanda, but he is now a fugitive from the Global Community along with Buck and Chloe. Another Judgement is released, and a plague of locusts fall over the land. The effects are so terrible that people try to kill themselves, but they aren’t allowed to die. Buck’s old friend Chaim, a Jewish man who has not come to know Jesus as Messiah, is terrified as one of his employees is attacked by the creatures. Amidst the Tribulation and global chaos, Chloe gives birth to a son.
What’s great about these books is that, though there are many, the sub-plots never get confusing or overbearing. You get to follow several of the characters from their points of view without ever feeling lost. The characterizations are wonderful. They come to life so easily that you will have no trouble feeling for them, or hating them in some cases. This is probably one of the most important pieces of literature for the Christian world, but the truth is, even without that stamp of importance, it’s great literature! This is a great story with great characters, and everyone should read it.

The Left Behind series has been very important to me. I learned so much about the bible from these books and the story helps you visualize the meaning of the scriptures. I know not everyone will agree with the presentation these books utilize but I am glad I read the series. Apollyon is sometimes difficult to read because when it is hard to think of these situations happening. The judgments of the tribulation times will not be easy on anyone left here to deal with them. I cannot imagine seeing the things described in the book and denying that God is creating all of the chaos. Stick with the series and read them all. I promise you will learn from it and be glad you did.
