Being a new christian and only having read the first two books; I can't speak from experience in the scripture, but I can say that I don't want to be "LEFT BEHIND"! I can't wait to read the next book...and the next. This might be only a concept; a what MIGHT happen, but if IT is going to be anything close... I want to go first!!The books are great! The characters are believable and clearly developed... I LOVE THEM ALL! The books are well worth reading if no other reason than a GREAT story !
