Left Behind
So I have a new venture in my life…I’m starting to read the Left Behind series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. I’ve been hounding Paul to add a “currently reading” section to our website, since I am always reading something.
If you haven’t heard about it, the Left Behind series is written about the rapture of the church (God calling all of his followers to heaven) and the story of how those that are left behind prepare for the seven years of tribulation until the glorious appearing of Jesus at the end of days.
The first book titled “Left Behind”
gives a brief synopsis of the rapture and introduces the main characters. I finished that one this weekend and am already, after only 1 day, halfway through the second book, “Tribulation Force.”
There are twelve books in the series, and then they are actually adding some more books as prequels to the first book, to basically lead up to the rapture that takes place in the first book.
So far I really like the series. Has anyone else read it??
Thanks to Amberly who introduced the books to me!

Thanks. I’ve had other people say the same thing, but I’m weird in the fact that I like to read a book and keep it so I can re-read it again sometime 🙂

I only made it about halfway through the first book and put it down..just didn’t care for it.
