Left Behind Series

I'm re-reading the Left Behind series by Tim LaHaye & Jerry Jenkis, well I'm re-reading the first 8 books and I've ordered the rest of the series (15 in all). I started them back when I was 16 but the guy I was dating (who owned the books) and I broke up when I was 20 or so and the series wasn't finished coming out yet so I never finished it then, so I've gotten them all now and am diligently working through it. Book four so far!

So what is Left Behind? Well it's a series of books about the Evangelical Christian view of God's rapture of his church and the tribulation period that follows that even before the Glorious Appearing of Christ.

They have made a companion set of books called Tribulation Kids that are junior reader books, there is also a series of comic books and thus far 3 feature length movies that loosely cover the events of the first 3 books (with many artisitc liberties.)

"Left Behind is a series of novels by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, dealing with Christian dispensationalist End Times: pretribulation, premillennial, Christian eschatology viewpoint of the end of the world. Left Behind is also the title of the first book in the series. It is published by Tyndale House, a firm with a history of interest in dispensationalism." - Wikipedia
