"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.
