The books are okay, and i know many Christians that enjoyed them. i thought they were average, but it was nice to read some Christian literature that was decently written (You'll note that i'm avoiding saying things like 'well written' and 'good'). Truth be told, i never finished the series. i got bored with them. Most Christian books all have really predictable endings. We all live happily ever... we being the Christians in the story. By the end of the conflict resolution, characters are either saved or completely unsaveable... or, in happier stories, the characters are either winners if they are saved or losers if they aren't.
It's fine, i guess. Mostly because Christians have a 'good enough' filter over everything. The Left Behind movies were based off books that made the best sellers list for the New York Times... not counting the copies sold at Christian book stores. That means they made a lot of money. Where did that money go? and why was it not invested into making quality films?
It hurts my brain. At least it did, until i found this:
There is a Left Behind video game.
i've got a whole blog about the game, but i'm saving it for another project i'm working on. i'd suggest reading up on the game though, and getting it. My online screenname for IGN play is CameronForceFive

I was talking to my friend Brian about how it feels like to have a good testimony as a Christian you have to have been all bad, then you converted and now you're mostly good (only because you can't be Jesus or Rick Warren).
