Cars, suddenly unmanned, careen out of control. Terrified people watch their loved ones vanish before their eyes. Some say it's an alien invasion, but Rayford Steele knows that his wife's warning has come true---Christ has raptured his church and Rayford has been left behind in a world without God's people! But the darkest days are yet to come. . . . 468 pages, hardcover from Tyndale.

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.

I've only read the first two books in this series, but it seems like the rest will be great as well! This book was amazing! It is FICTION, remember, and I don't know if it's very biblical, but it's very interesting. Hard to put down. I can't wait to read the entire series! One of the best books I've ever read!

I re-read this particular book again, for the 7th time, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I would like to say that it is indeed a FICTIONAL novel - the entire series is - but that shouldn't stop potential buyers being interested. I own the entire Left Behind novel series and, although I don't completely agree with some of the theology presented, it has been one of the best reads for me to date. Everyone has different viewpoints on End Times, myself included, however this series will make you think more and more about our Lord's Return. I know that it has did to me and, no matter what happens on that Day, this book will bring you to the reality of His Coming! It is jam packed with suspense, intrigue and action so I recommend that you buy all 13 books - if you enjoy that genre of books.

What an Amazing Book! It gives a vivid image of what I imagine the Post-Rapture will be like. Although I'm only 13, I have been saved now since I was 10 and all I can say is that it gives me a great feeling of security knowing that I don't have to go through such horror! Overall Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins did a wonderful job and I look forward to reading the rest!

I read the first book in a matter of a day and a half. Three weeks later, I finished The In Dwelling and will start reading the next book later in the day. Brilliant, riveting and brought the occasional tear to a tough guys eyes. Look forward to the next six books.

WONDERFUL! He will come in the twinkling of an eye - 1 Corinthians 15

This book is wonderful. It goes hand and hand with the book of Revelations. Call it what you may. It's the truth and these things will happen. Our days are shortly numbered.

YOU MUST REMEMBER - THIS BOOK IS FICTION!

Reviewed by Joseph Duran (West Covinia, California), April 01, 2006

Hard to start, but it's a great smooth read. You might find it interesting in the Bible what is written in the book Malachi, chapter 4, verse 5.
