Product Description

Meanwhile, Rayford Steele and Buck Williams search for their loved ones who haven't been seen since before the earthquake.
Amazon.com Review
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. --Gail Hudson
Customer Reviews
A slow read... - Reviewed on 2008-03-27
LaHaye and Jenkins' fourth book in the series, again offers a slow and winding ride to the Glorious Appearing of Christ. Though not as slow as Nicolae, it's still in the early stages to know if it's going to get better. Though I'm now 1/3 of the way to the end of the series, I have a sneaking suspicion they probably could've condensed it into seven books instead of twelve.
I'm a Catholic and I love stories from the bible and am very interested in the Book of Revelations, so I had high hopes for this going in, but I feel like I'm going to end up with a 'meh' feeling at the end. Instead of increasing the urgency of the times, the authors take every chance they get to preach the word to every new person they meet. Okay, we get the point, accept Christ into your hearts or you won't be accepted into heaven.
I don't mean to seem blase about the whole thing, but you want people to be entertained as well. The authors dispense with the obvious thrill aspect and fill it with boring exposition. Example: A quarter of the world just died...DIED. The horrors around them should be horrendous, the stench should be overwhelming. I wanted to feel that apocalyptic sense of urgency and yet it was played off like a day at the doctor's waiting room and "let's read the bible some more."
It could've played out like a thrilling Christian movie on a grand scale, not a 17-hour sermon.
