Product Description
Will unbelievers and half-hearted churchgoers have 7 more years to make up their minds about Christ after He raptures the Church? LEFT BEHIND gives them all a 'second chance.' But is that what Jesus taught? His parables of the talents, the wise and foolish virgins, the wheat and the tares, and the faithful and evil servant all show him returning unexpectedly with both rewards and punishments in his hands. Neither the parables nor the plain words of Christ teach a second chance for those surprised by his coming. But LEFT BEHIND does. Few Christians realize LEFT BEHIND tosses aside the teachings of Luther, Calvin, Tyndale, Wesley, Wycliffe and Spurgeon. Read dozens of quotes from these and other respected sources that show LEFT BEHIND strays far from the truths Bible readers have understood for centuries. Author of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES ANSWERED VERSE BY VERSE and MORMONS ANSWERED VERSE BY VERSE (Baker Book House), David A. Reed is known worldwide as an expert in refuting false prophecy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why not READ THIS while you're waiting for "The Rapture", January 6, 2009

By	James Lenaburg (Keller, Texas U.S.A.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

by Mrs. Lenaburg [a.k.a. Patrice Stanton]

Disclosure: Because the "pre-trib rapture" struck me as Biblically disingenuous years ago I'd already come to the author's main conclusion back in the mid-1990's, after not nearly as extensive Biblical investigation: the pre-trib Rapture is pure feel-good fiction, just like the dozen+ adult "Left Behind" novels this exhaustive, scholarly critique exposes.

If you are a fan of the LaHaye & Jenkins' books I pray that you will read this extensively footnoted 130+ page analysis (oh, how I wish there was a 10 or 20-page synopsis from the same author!). For confirmation you might just want to have your LaHaye & Jenkins' books - as well as a Bible - alongside, as you will quickly find that the "Left Behind" authors not only twist but selectively quote Scripture in their non-fiction works as well as their fiction time and again, even going so far as to use one verse in different places to "prove" both sides of a single point!

Think about how multifaceted the danger of "Left Behind's" ultimate 'second-chance' premise is. If millions 'disappeared' from planes, trains, & automobiles, on cue, who - in their right mind - would even NEED to be preached to, who'd need a left-behind 'Pastor Bruce?' Consider the further sacrilege of that scenario, as millions of copies of "Left Behind" novels (not to mention the movies from them) would serve as better evangelistic tools - being themselves left-behind "proof" of Christianity - than 'boring old' Bibles...
