The Left Behind Series is
a series of 12 fiction books starting with "Left
Behind". Piloting his 747, Rayford Steele is
musing about his wife Irene's irritating religiosity
and contemplating the charms of his "drop-dead
gorgeous" flight attendant, Hattie. First Irene was
into Amway, then Tupperware, and now it's the Rapture
of the Saints--the scary last story in the Bible in
which Christians are swept to heaven and unbelievers
are left behind to endure the Antichrist's
Tribulation. Steele believes he'll put the plane on
autopilot and go visit Hattie. But Hattie's in a
panic: some of the passengers have disappeared! The
Rapture has happened, abruptly driverless cars are
crashing all over, and the slick, sinister Romanian
Nicolae Carpathia plans to use the UN to establish one
world government and religion. Resembling "a young
Robert Redford" and silver-tongued in nine languages,
Carpathia is named People's "Sexiest Man
Alive." (This reviewer, a former People writer,
finds this plot twist plausible.) Meanwhile, Steele
teams up with Buck Williams, a buck-the-system
newshound, to form the Tribulation Force, an
underground of left-behind penitents battling the
Antichrist. |

Tim LaHaye has created a
new series that begins with Babylon Rising.
The novels in this new series are even
faster-paced thrillers based on prophecies that are
not covered in the Left Behind books and that have
great relevance to the events of today.
Babylon Rising introduces a terrific new hero
for our time. Michael Murphy is a scholar of Biblical
prophecy, but not the sedate and tweedy kind. Murphy
is a field archaeologist who defies danger to
fearlessly hunt down and authenticate ancient
artifacts from Biblical times. His latest discovery is
his most amazing--but it will send him hurtling from a
life of excavation and revelations to a confrontation
with the forces of the greatest evil. For the latest
secret uncovered by Michael Murphy accelerates the
countdown to the time of the end for all mankind. |

In Babylon Rising Tim
LaHaye began an adventure series that he calls even
more exciting than his 50-million-plus-copy
bestselling Left Behind series. Readers agreed, as the
novel debuted as a top-ten New York Times bestseller.
Now, in the second Babylon Rising novel, Biblical
scholar, archaeologist, professor, and hero for our
times Michael Murphy is in pursuit of one of the most
mysterious and sought-after of all Biblical artifacts,
Noah’s Ark. As Murphy undertakes his death-defying
quest to ascend Mount Ararat, he will discover
dramatic revelations of Biblical prophecies and be
drawn even closer to the most terrifying evil about to
be unleashed on all mankind. |

Joshua Lazarus and his
wife, Maggie, are reeling from the overnight success
of his new television show, starring Joshua as a
medium-passing messages to the audience from their
dearly departed. But when strange voices begin to
haunt him without relief, and ghosts seemingly cry out
to him for help, he realizes he's involved with forces
he never before believed existed. As Joshua and Maggie
try to make sense of the visitations, a closer, more
visible force is preparing to attack. Between the
killer who hunts him and the pervasive occult presence
in Salem, Massachusetts, no one close to Lazarus is
safe. On the brink of being consumed alive, Maggie and
Joshua must fight for their lives-and their souls.
The genre of The Departed can best be described
as "Christian Chiller." Jen and Ben recommend
this book for anyone who likes an edge-of-your-seat
read with a Christian message. |
