Soul Harvest (reviewed by Isaac Lester)


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

Nicolae (reviewed by Isaac Lester)


It has been nearly two years since the mass disappearance, called the Rapture.

In Nicolae the saga continues as Rayford, his new wife, Amanda, and Buck and Chloe (now married) make it their mission to win as many people to Christ as possible. The seven-year tribulation is nearing the end of the first quarter, when prophecy says "the wrath of the Lamb" will be poured out upon the earth.

As the seven-year period hurtles toward the midpoint, the Tribulation Force faces conflict at every turn in their holy war against Nicolae Carpathia, the ruler of the new Global Community.

Rayford and Buck work directly for Carpathia, who knows of Rayford's true allegiance, but not of Buck's.

In Nicolae, the most explosive of the three books thus far, Rayford becomes the ears of the tribulation saints at the highest levels of the Carpathia regime. Meanwhile, Buck attempts a dramatic all-night rescue run from Israel through the Sinai that will hold you breathless to the end.

By Fleur Beale.





Ruby yarrow at the age of fourteen realises for most of her life that she has been treated like a dormat by her brother and family and even strangers.her brother who is really smart and always getting awards at school walks all over ruby and she lets him until she realises what is going on.she ends up standing up for herself and gets herself a job at the local store as a cleaner getting payed hardly anything.seeing as her name is yarrow her name is always last for everything which she hates.she sets herself a goal of learning a little bit of portugeese when babysitting for a little brothers friend,and also because of a school exchange with some portugeese students(she accomplishes this in the end.Ruby has a learning difficulty and is not very proud of it until one day someone confronts her and she finally gets some backbone.
The main chaacters in this book are of ruby herself who has the main role in the book and she has to work with her learning difficulty throughout the book.Another important person who had alot of impact in the book was her brother who was alot smarter than her.her mum was also important as throughout the book she did not really support ruby as she favoured rubys brother because he was more academically smart.
i really enjoyed this book because it showed how a person with a learning diffence does'nt need to be ashamed of it and in the end she learned that it was alot better if she waas more confindent.I also enjoyed it becaused it showed how people can change from having no backbone to getting alot of backbone.all because her friend told her she needed to stand up for herself and until then their friendshiop was over.
