I had been aware of this series for a number of years. I wish I had read it sooner and gifted it to some of my grandchildren. It is quite imaginative.
i saw this book in a hotel lobby and remembered i read this series all the way through in... the 5th grade, maybe. it was just when i was getting into sci-fi too so thankfully i compartmentalized it with that instead of, like, internalizing all the crassly propagandistic bs. seriously, tho, parents, if u want ur kids to respect religion teach them to interact with it in a critically instead of "scaring them straight" with such images as, say, a left-behind punk girl who shuns her old lifestyle and literally dons her enraptured mother's clothing in a godly attempt to honor her wishes / change for the better… (more)

The "tribulation force" adds to their ranks as Rayford marries Amanda while Buck marries Chloe. Their goal is to share the gospel with as many unbelievers as possible before the opportunities cease. Meanwhile Rayford's inside airline position gives him firsthand information from the new leader of the world, Nicolae Carpathia. Highly recommend.

Just what I thought. Too much mushy feel good, not enough post-apocalyptic description and information. The terror of what happened and everyone that was left just wasn't real enough. I thought the relationships were strained to be "perfect"
