The End.... it's coming... and I for one am very much looking forward to going Home! Are you? Currently, my family and I (sis, bro-in-law, and their kids) are all reading / listening to (audio books - I love 'em!) the LEFT BEHIND series. I highly reccomend them to anyone interested in hearing the prophecy of the coming end, how we get there, how it's going to happen, who will be there, etc.... in a story form. These are not read from the Bible, the series is written in an entertaining, captivating story form that leaves you at the end of one audio book actally hungry for, looking forward to hearing the next book! Seriously, if you even have a little faith or only believe in the rapture 'sort-of'... it's worth the few bucks to get these book to read or the audio books to listen to.
