Left Behind by Jerry B. Jenkins, Tim Lahaye (1995, Hardcover)

The first book in the Left Behind Series, which is a fictional account of what could be a reality prophesized in the Book of Revelation in the Bible. The story is engaging and realistic giving you the feeling that it could happen. The authors start the story with a commercial airlines pilot whose family, except for his daughter, has disappeared into thin air. The phenomenon happened simultaneously throughout the world, giving the appearance to those "left behind" that God had taken the true believers to Heaven. The pilot is challenged to find the truth and the truth was in the Bible as the days following unfolded. Even though the book is a fictional story, the truth of the Bible from which it is based, strengthens your faith in the prophesy written in Revelation.
