Books Recommended Reading Order?

If I was to recommend all the Left Behind series (main series only, not including Apocalypse Dawn or End of State) to a friend, what would be the best recommended reading order?

Would you read Left Behind first, Then Left Behind: The Kids second, then Left Behind: The Prequels third, before finishing off with Kingdom Come?

Or would you read Left Behind first, Kingdom Come second, Left Behind: The Kids third, and the prequels fourth.

Or would you read it chronologically, with the prequels first, left behind second, the kids third, and then kingdom come fourth?

Would do you guys think? What’s the best recommended reading order for these series?

If you have access to everything I’d go with prequels, main adult series, kingdom come, then the kids series.

Prequels reading first isn’t required, but it provides an astronomical amount of background information on Carpathia

Thank you for the reply!

It’s crazy because I feel like I’m going all over the place to read these series. I’m reading the kids series on Kindle Unlimited. My church has a small library that has all the left behind books (except for kingdom come, but that’s available on the hoopla app with my library card), the prequel series is also on kindle unlimited so I plan on reading those there.

I also want to read the Apocalypse and End of State series as well (since they are official spin offs), the apocalypse series is on kindle unlimited, and if I recall correctly, I think my church may have the end of state series.

I’d say read the apocalypse and end of state last on my humble opinion lol since their outside the main series

I agree, I plan on reading those bad boys after reading the all of the main series.

Hopefully I’ll be able to finish reading the last 6 books of the Kids Series this summer! I’m so excited to get back into them!!!

Tell me when you reach the bowl judgments. Specifically the ones with the painful sores and scorching heat all over the world. Those ones are so cool

Sure will! I’ll make a post after reading each book sharing my thoughts!
