I'm new here, so I hope this topic isn't old hat - but what are your thoughts on the 'Left Behind' series? I havn't got the new one yet, but soon I will. I like the books, but I do have some problems with them:
1. Why are the Authors seemingly unconcerned with thier depictions of graphic violence, but so unrealistic when dealing with sexuality? (I found the character of Buck being a 30-year old, non-Christian virgin a little difficult to swallow - but maybe I am getting a bit jaded
2. The authors seem a little harsh when dealing with peoples struggles with the flesh. I can't recall the specific instances I am referring to, but people do not always make a complete break with old habits once saved- it is a process, is it not? The authors don't seem to allow much room for thier characters to be forgiving, and they sometimes come across as too rigid.
Anyhoo, anxious to hear some feedback. Thanks.
