The 12 riveting novels of the original Left Behind series and the first two prequels, The Rising and The Regime, have all conquered the New York Times best-seller list. Authors Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins are now among the greatest successes in the history of publishing. They continue their captivating story with this third prequel, which leads directly to the events of Left Behind, the novel that started the phenomenon.

The stage is set as Nicolae Carpathia ruthlessly eliminates any obstacles in his rise to power. In the twinkling of an eye, loved ones disappear without a good-bye.

Awesome!

Tim Lahaye and Jerry Jenkins did it again. The Rapture is an excellent ending to their Left Behind prequel series.

Richard Ferrone does a great job narrating. He brings the characters to life. His pitch, tone, volume, rhythm, and accents are great.

There is no cursing or sex. There is mild violence, nothing graphic. There are adult concepts, such as bigamy and adultery. I highly recommend this audiobook for older children, teens, and adults. Enjoy!

Love the series

Didn't disappoint as usual. Great story, great suspense. Read Left Behind series first, then this series and enjoyed learning about the characters before hand!

Written so well

I cannot say enough about the author’s writings in this entire series. A must read/listen.

Research pronunciation please!

I truly loved the part where it describes Joni Earickson Tada dancing up to receive her reward but was dismayed to hear the reader pronounce her name as "Joanie". She herself mentions most emphatically in her book that she is named for her father and it is pronounced "Johnny". Any small amount of research would have told you the same. While it didn't detract from the power of the image and message, it did make me sad that something so easily researched wasn't. If such care is taken to pronounce places and ethnic names correctly, why couldn't this one be just as important?
Other than that, I really enjoyed his performance of this book.

Insightful

gives you a prespective of how the rapture is going to be, makes you more anticipated to that day.
