The Mark: The Beast Rules the World

Written by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins

Narrated by Full Cast

The pouring rain only makes the night darker, as Buck and Albie watch the “Loyalty Enforcers” churn into production. And yet, above the cries of horror, one hears a unified voice, an eternal proclamation, the determined singing of those in a growing line of martyrs.

Within The Mark Audio Movie, you will hear the jubilation of those who meet God for the first time, and the steadfast resolve of those about to meet Him face to face. The world is told to make a stand one way or the other, and you have a front row seat.

Reviews for The Mark

[sueincyprus · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

The next few days in the life of the Tribulation Force as they settle into a new 'safe house'. Exciting, but yet again very little character development. Fast-moving yet long-winded with a lot of theology.

Good read!

I enjoyed the story as fiction. I laughed, cried, fumed, and shouted--all positive things--but I want to temper that strongly by saying that I wouldn't suggest it as theological or eschatological material, as some have. I'm not really concerned with the order and how's of end-time events and believe we waste too much time trying to figure it out. As Jesus said: "No one knows the times or the seasons, but my heavenly Father." Do worry about it. Live and hope. You don't need to have it all marked out on a calendar.If someone were to ask me what fictional literature I would suggest, this series wouldn't occur to me at all, and I wouldn't suggest it if it did. But, seeing as I have read it (except the last one and the prequels), I felt like I ought to review it. For story, I would give it three stars, maybe four. But my reservations pull that rating down to two.

Nestled deep in the series, The Mark takes a single event, and stretches it in to a relatively short novel. The branding of belief has been central to the Christian forces for several books in the Left Behind series and with The Mark it now becomes Satan's tool of choice. This particular entry feels more like a television episode than a novel with little character development and a singular plot which doesn't offer much in the way of memorable scenes, beyond one harrowing occurrence near the end. Ultimately, The Mark has a few plot elements which are important to the series and if this book was skipped you would be up to date by reading the first few pages of Desecration (book nine), just like watching a soap opera.

These books never cease to amaze me. They are absolutley awesome! I feel like the bring me closer to God because they are about God without being boring. They always keep my interest and there is never a dull moment.

This book is almost like a turning point in my opinion. Everything and everyone is restructured, moved, and all the circumstances have changed. I had started to lose interest until the last book, The Indwelling. Now with this book its like a fresh start on the story. Same characters, set in new places, changes everything. Cant wait for the next book to arrive in the mail. Didnt look far enough ahead to realize this one would be such a quick read.

All of the Left Behind books are provacative and page turning. I read them all at least once a year.

[wiszard · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The Mark continues on the story of the Tribulation Force in their battle against the Anti-Christ. Although not as good as the previous novel, The Indwelling, this novel is pretty good. LaHaye and Jenkins do a find job in their story telling. It took me only 2 full days to read this novel so it isn't the deepest of reads.

This is book eight of the Left behind series. And though the writing is simple and there is very little character development. I still was able to read it on one afternoon. It does help that the book is short. Though it has 380 pages, the typeset and margins make it equivalent to a 100-page book. In this book we have Carpathia no longer being Mr. Nice guy. He orders that everyone will worship him. And to prove their loyalty they have a choice. They may take the mark of the beast; or have their heads cut off. We do read about the process of choice in Greece. And I have to say the violence is very graphic. Of course with the mark being applied, those Tribulation Saints that are still out in the Global Community have to flee. And we have the Tribulation Force helping them escape where they can. Of course they cannot help everyone. Though they do what they can. The end of this book has Carpathia heading to Jerusalem. Where he will desecrate the holy temple and proclaim himself God. Thereby breaking his pact with Israel. Even though I only rated this book two stars. If you plan to continue the series to its conclusion, as I do, you will need to read it. It introduces new characters and sets up some of the next events. For example I think they will write about the exodus of Gods Chosen from Israel.
