The Rapture by Tim Lahaye (2002, Hardcover, Illustrated)

This is an excellent non-fiction book by one of the authors of the Left Behind series. It explores several rapture theories giving pros and cons for each theory. The author holds the Pre-tribulation Rapture, which is the view I hold. The one "new" thing I learned is that NOTHING has to happen for thee Rapture to occur. It could happen before you finish reading this. I had always thought the Temple had to be rebuilt and several other signs occur before the Rapture, but now I am firmly convinced that it can and will occur at anytime. The only down feature on the book is that it is very repetitive when exploring Mid-Trib and post-Trib views of the Rapture.
