sandysfaa's Full Review: Tim Lahaye and Jerry B. Jenkins - The Indwelling: ...
"Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time."
REVELATION 12:12 KJV
Once again, LaHaye and Jenkins have managed to capture their readers attention with the newest of the "Left Behind" series, "The Indwelling". The reader is immediately drawn into a nightmarish race alongside the "Left Behind" characters as they fight for their lives, both physically and spiritually. Although, this 7th episode of the "Left Behind" series answers the questions that everyone has been asking since the last book, "The Assassins", it also leaves both the readers and characters with even more questions, doubts and fears!
As the title, "The Indwelling...The Beast Takes Possession", implies and the scriptures in Revelation reveal, the "Anti-Christ", Nicolae Carpathia, does die from a fatal wound. And one of the main "Left Behind" characters is guilty! Although the readers and characters are left to question who actually did murder Nicolae for a portion of the book, the truth is soon evident. Again, our leading characters find themselves on the run from the Global Community Security, forced to accept help from other believers....some of whom they are not totally sure they can trust. It is by faith that they must put their lives in the hands of fellow believers...or are they "true" believers? Has the GC Security learned of the "Believer's Mark" and found a way to deceive "true" believers?
Like the previous 6 books, "The Indwelling" takes the readers on a never-ending emotional roller-coaster ride...one in which they experience both the joys of welcoming "new" believers into their continually growing family and also the deep pain of losing dear friends or family members either at the hands of the enemy or to accidental deaths.
I would highly recommend "The Indwelling" to both believers and non-believers. LaHaye and Jenkins, in my opinion, have done an excellent job of interpreting the scriptures of Revelation in their "Left Behind" Series. I have to admit that I was hooked from the first book in the series, "Left Behind". Now, my only problem is waiting for the 8th of this proposed 12 book series, "The Mark". This too promises to be another hit...and to give you a little preview, I'll use the following quote found in "The Indwelling" from Nicolae himself, "I shall soon institute a program of loyalty confirmation that will prove once and for all who is with us and who is against us, and woe to the haughty insurrectionist. He will find no place to hide."
"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:...."
