Publisher Description

The final prequel will have the Rapture three-quarters of the way through the book and then following characters such as Irene and Raymie (and others) up to heaven and being able to see events in the Tribulation from heaven's perspective. The book will alternate between focusing on events on earth immediately after the Rapture (covering lots of things the authors wished they could have covered in the original volumes) and focusing on characters in heaven and how they view the chaotic events on earth.

"I really enjoyed reading this book. Some nights I couldn't put it down. I just gives you a glimpse of what could happen even though no one knows for sure what we will do in heaven or what the people left will be doing. The Rapture is a real event and people better start looking to Jesus as the only answer or they will face some grave consequences."

    " Wow! This was definitely a book I could not stop listening to for long! It was exciting, thrilling riveting and scary! This story was a great reminder of what I should be doing to assure that I am right with God. I don't want to be left behind!!! "

    " This is the third "official" book before the original first book was released. This story is about Nicolae where he becomes more evil than he was before. He eliminates those that are in his way and rises to the top of the Romanian government. Rayford, is still trying to create a new relationship with the flight attendant and board a plane together. All of a sudden, millions of people disappear from the earth while those that are not are "left behind". "

    " This is another series with the Left Behind series although it is only 3 books in this series. It focuses on the beginnings of Nicholae and his early years before he comes into the Left Behind (12 book series) I guess a pre-quel to the Left Behind although it was written afterwards. "

    " This is the one to read even if you don't want to read the other 15! You are elevated to places you've only imagined in your childhood during those long sermons. True? No one remembers, but comes close in my world. Loved it. Can't wait to return....many, many years from now. "
