Children of the Last Days

Post by Mighara Sovmadhi »

I read about half the LEFT BEHIND books once. I was starving for books I hadn't read and could afford (they were free, just chillin' in the apartment I was living at), so don't condemn me for that :P

Later, the mother of my roommate at the time tried to get me to read Michael O'Brien's The Father's Tale, and it wasn't bad or anything, I was just too worked up dealing with my roommate to worry about a thousand-page novel of that nature.

So anyway, a few months ago, these two stands in my reader's life intertwined and I read Father Elijah and Elijah in Jerusalem, which I have to say are, at least for the genre (Christian eschatological fiction), pretty neat.

*Whistles into the dark* :P

I read this (Father Elijah) 20 years ago when it came out. Your description seems quite apt, viz., pretty good, that is, given the genre.
