Judgment Day (Left Behind: The Kids #14)

If you are a fan of the adult Left Behind series, these books are a great read and very addicting!

In the book Judgment Day, the young tribulation force faces many dangers in the seven year tribulation. In the kid's town, the book starts off with a great action scene keeping you on the edge of your seat. Judd and Vicki try to find anything they can do to try to get away from the GC. While Lionel is on the GC at the same time he's going against the GC to try to help his friends out as his memory is beginning to come back to him. Towards the beginning of the book I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen to Judd and Vicki. I thought some of the plans they did were genius. Such as the distraction against the commander and stealing his jeep, allowing them to get around tuff obstacles. I didn't know what they were going to do though when they heard the chopper gaining on them. "I hope there's enough gas in there! He thought. When the lighter was red hot, Judd lit the rag. He wedged the tire iron against the accelerator and put the jeep in gear. He hoped the car would travel a good distance from the river before it overturned, but it only went a few hundred feet before the front wheels turned and the jeep ran straight into a demolished house. Seconds later an explosion rocked the street. The jeep burst into flames" (Jenkins 51). That's just one scene from the book and if you like stories that keep you on the edge of your seat then this is probably the book for you. After Judd survives the waterfall. He goes on with his plan to go to the Stahley's mansion. He figured that's probably the only place he would be safe from the GC. He then goes down to the basement and finds a computer and gets online. He talks to Pavel and gets some important information. He then knows he has to get to his friends. If you want to find out what happens then you have to read it. It's definitely worth it.

As Lionel's memory returns, the kids are in more danger than ever before! Vicki is accused of murder, and Judd a runaway with several crimes against the GC. Bring lead in a very scary chase, Judd and Vicki try to make a getaway while Lionel and his new-found-friend and believer Conrad try to help from the inside and let their friends escape. After a long chase, Vicki and Judd are seperated as they plunge into a raging river. With Vicki captured, and Judd washed away over a waterfall, Conrad and Lionel plan a heroing escape from the GC. Vicki must put up with the Morale Moniters Melinda and Felicia, and the cold Commander Blanka and finds hope in that if she dies, she will be with God and the others who had already given their lives for the Lord.Judd contacts fellow believers through the internet after making it to the Stahley Mansion. He meets others there, and tries to plan on how to rescue Vicki, Lionel, and Conrad.The fourtenth installment of LBTK brings you closer to the Young Trib Force, and keeps the pages turning. This was a wonderful book and exciting to say the least!

...I have the whole series written so far (to book #28), and I don't have time to write a review to all. This is probably my favorite of all of them. Anyway, Vicki and Judd must hide from the GC (Vicki being blamed for a murder that she didn't commit, and Judd from escaping from a GC prison). Lionel works inside and tries to help them. If you are a Christian (and I pray that everyone WOULD be), GET THIS SERIES!<BR...

Don't listen to what anyone wrote and read the book and decide for yourself. Personaly it is worth reading!
