Book Description:
When the trumpet sounds, where will you be? Passengers in an airborne Boeing 747 find out in this riveting novel by renowned Christian speaker Tim LaHaye and master storyteller Jerry Jenkins. Without any warning, passengers mysteriously disappear from their seats. Terror and chaos slowly spread not only through the plane but also worldwide as unusual events continue to unfold. For those who have been left behind, the apocalypse has just begun. This fictional account of life after the Rapture delivers an urgent call to today's readers to prepare their own hearts and minister to others.
Book 1 in the best-selling Left Behind series.
Airline pilot Captain Rayford Steele guides his terror-filled 747 back to the ground with more than 100 seats empty except for clothes, jewelry, eyeglasses, shoes, and socks. Steele finds that his wife and 12-year-old son have vanished, but he and his college-age daughter, Chloe, have been left behind. He and Cameron "Buck" Williams, who had been on Rayford's plane, launch a frantic search for the truth.

What a wonderful book! It was an easy read and a great story. You develop a relationship with these characters, you find yourself searching for the "answers" with them. When you read this book, I guarantee you that you will hurry on to the next book in the series until you have completed them all. They are amazing books, full of many truths. A must read.

"The Left Behind" series tells the fictional account of what happens to people left behind on earth after the "Rapture of the Church" as described in the Biblical bible.
In the beginning of the story, the main characters suddenly find that millions of people all across the world have suddenly vanished, leaving nothing but a pile of clothes. Rayford Steel, an airline pilot is shocked to find over half his passengers and crew have dissapeared midflight. He immediately recognizes what he thinks has happened. The "rapture" has occured. Christ has come and taken the believers and all the children to heaven, leaving the nonbelievers, or those who have not accepted Christ as their personal savior, behind. But is that really what hapened? Is Satan taking over the world or is some other type of being all together - one not terrestrial at all??? This is the first book of a long series - one that jolted the Chirstian church.

Sexist, anti-Semitic, clumsily written. Interesting idea, though.
in one cataqclysmic moment,millions around the globe disappear.
really good series, i have all the others from this series too if your interested.
Regardless of if you are religious, the Left Behind series is wonderful. The characters grow on you and the books makes you think- even if you don't believe in the rapture.
