The Left Behind Books

The Left Behind saga has easily become one of the most renowned and recognized Christian fiction series, creating 4 movies, 16 books, a children's book series, and a variety of other spinoffs. The first book, Left Behind, was released in 1995 to critical acclaim, and quickly became a best-selling novel. Several other novels in the series also made the New York Times Best-Seller list, and by the time the 16^th book came out in 2007, it had sold over 65 million copies.

This series spans the entire seven years of tribulation, starting directly before the rapture and continuing all the way to the Lord's triumphant return. This series is more than just a warning or a series designed to preach at people about the coming end times, this series is also an incredible thriller. Featuring many different dangerous and intense situations, the protagonists in this film are always faced with challenging and difficult trials at every turn.

Film Adaptation

After the success of these books, it was decided that Lahaye and Jenkins would develop this popular series into a movie adaptation. Eventually, it was decided that Cloud Ten Pictures would produce the films and Kirk Cameron (star of Growing Pains) would be cast as one of the leads, Buck Williams. Chelsea Noble was also to be cast as Hattie Durham, and Brad Johnson was chosen to play the patriarchal pilot, Rayford Steele.

These films were originally released direct-to-video in the early 2000's but they have still managed to make an incredible imprint in media and in our culture. These films have helped many people come to realize about what is going to happen in the end times and how they need to make decisions for their lives now.

Something about this series and its concept has stuck with people over the years. People begin to wonder what the rapture would really look like and question how the end times are really going to play out. The book of Revelation is not an easy one to understand, and it's admirable of Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim Lahaye to create this series. Their goal is to try and help bring knowledge and understanding to what events are being described in the book of Revelation. While no one truly knows how everything is all going to play out in the end, Jenkins and Lahaye give us a solid idea, or a theory of what is going to happen in the end times.

The Left Behind Trilogy 3 DVD Collection features the three original films, Left Behind, Left Behind II: Tribulation Force, and Left Behind III: World at War. This Christian DVD set also includes a disc of bonus features with a special behind-the-scenes documentary, showing what it was like to film, edit, and produce these three movies.
