The Vanishings

I've had this book for years and I'm just now reading it. At first I didn't want nothing to do with it because I was into Wicca but after being saved I decided to give it a try. I was very amazed. In the first chapter the action starts. Throughout the first chapters you are introduced to Vicky,Ryan,Judd, and Lionel and you learn about them and what they are like. In the second half you get their reaction to the Rapture and see how it affects them. The last chapter all four of the kids meet up and watch a video that was left by The Pastor of a local church. If you are a kid or teen and want a good book on what will happen when the Rapture takes place this is it. Penny Lane

I am a 14 year old who for a English project chose to write about this book. I do not like to read, but once I started reading this book, I found it hard to put down. I know this book is fiction, but the rapture is going to happen and we all better be ready. This book got me thinking that I need to have a stronger relationship with God. I do not want to be one of those kids left behind. For the mother who thinks this book is nothing but a scare tacktic, if you think this book would scare them, just think of what they would feel if God comes and their not with him in the rapture. Sometimes the truth is what we need.

I have to say that this book is by far the best book that I have read in my entire life. I was not very much a reader until I started reading these books. I have read 1-15 so far and they just get better and better. I would highly recommend this to anyone aboe to read and understand what the rapture is. This is a good book and an easy way for young children to understand as they make the kids be left beind and show how their lives are with out god. So come and join Judd, Lionel,Vicki and Ryan as they all struggle seven of the worst years that they are going to ever experience in their life time.

I am going to tell you about a great book that i have been reading. The book is called Left Behind.It is about these four kids who have never met each other before. They all end up meeting because they all run in to the same problem. Their Families have disappeared right out of their clothes. they all are shocked and are wondering what in the world is going on. Then they meet someone who tells them that jesus has came to rapture his church of all the people who believe in him. They got left behind because they were not believers. And now they need major help they need to talk to someone to help them understand what is happening. I would really recommend this book to kids from the ages of 12-adult. These books are really inspiring. They have changed my perspective on life you need to enjoy life while you can. so why not join Judd, Vicki, Lionel, and Ryan in their adventure of the seven worst years of their lives.

(Review by Kay, 5th grade) I thought The Vanishings was a really good book. It was a page turning adventure about what happens when four kids facing don't believe what friends and family have told them about Jesus. I think that the writer, Tim LaHaye, did a wonderful job on describing and making me feel like I was actually in the story. I can't wait until I get to read the second book, Second Chance. It sounds really great. --Kay
