Amazon.com Review
Amidst the glitzy fanfare of a new world regime, control is unraveling for self-proclaimed god and Global Community potentate Nicolae Carpathia in Desecration, the ninth installment in the Left Behind series. It's 25 days into the Great Tribulation, and the newly resurrected Carpathia evinces an increasing fondness for gruesome killing. He's thrown into turmoil when the first two "bowls of wrath" from the biblical book Revelation are poured out on the world. Water turns into blood, and those who are branded with the mark of loyalty become covered with loathsome sores. When Carpathia commits the ultimate act of desecration against the Judeo-Christian community, chaos ensues. Meanwhile, the Tribulation Force soldiers on, receiving visitations from heavenly messengers that prod the team to greater acts of courage. Jenkins's characters seem almost comic book-like in their actions; the author relies on pages of slangy, slapstick dialogue rather than character development or descriptive settings to flesh out his tales. It's the angst of wondering what disaster will occur next and the fascination with end times that keep loyal fans turning the pages. And there's no shortage of angst here. Chang Wong flirts with suicide. Hattie Durham risks her life in a confrontation with Carpathia. Tsion Ben-Judah inadvertently gives away a secret location. Chloe Williams uncovers a remnant of believers. There are touches of the standard Left Behind humor, and even some romance in the last days. As always, readers are left hanging at the edge of disaster, which should keep appetites whetted for the promised next installment. --Cindy Crosby

These are GREAT books and I can't wait for The Remnant!!! In the meantime, I've been reading The Christ Clone Trilogy by James BeauSeigneur. Definitely a MUST READ while you wait for The Remnant!

If you enjoy Left Behind, I would strongly second what so many other reveiwers have already said and suggest The
Christ Clone novels and We All Fall Down by Brian Caldwell. Both are similar to Left Behind but vastly different in aproach. I read them while waiting for the eleventh Left Behind and, while I love that series, found them to be just as good, and possibly better.
MUST read for Christians & non-Christians alike! May 8, 2002

Great book series! Also check out the Christ Clone Trilogy. But I like Left Behind better.

Desecration, Antichrist Takes the Throne, is a good book. Lahaye and Jenkins both do a good job of keeping the series going with the ninth book. They did an excellent job of writing this as they did with their other books in the series. This book is great! Once you start reading this you will not want to put it down.
This book is about a tribulation force of believers against the Nicolae Carpathia, also known as the antichrist. They are against him to make Carpathia to let the people choose not to take his mark. The tribulation force begins to fight and protect with the power of god against Carpathia. To find out who wins this war, one should read this book. You do not want to miss the adventure of the tribulation members.
Continuing to be a great series July 10, 2003

I'm a little behind in reading this series so I can't wait to get caught up. Desecration was another great addition to the books and the excitement going on in the lives of the Tribulation members. I personally like this series because Revelations (the book in the Bible that this series is based off of) is too complex for me to understand. Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins do a great job at simplifying the story and telling it in modern day form! Recommended to anyone!!!!
