“Combines Tom Clancy–like suspense with touches of romance, high-tech flash, and biblical references.” ―New York Times

Twenty-five years ago, as the world approached a new millennium, Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins released this bestselling novel that became a cultural phenomenon.

On a Boeing 747 headed to London, passengers instantaneously disappear from their seats, resulting in terror and chaos for those left behind―not only throughout the plane, but also worldwide as the apocalypse begins.

Filled with edge-of-your-seat suspense and a dash of romance, The Left Behind series covers the events of biblical prophecy surrounding the end times, encompassing the rapture and the seven-year period known as the tribulation that follows. Included in this 25th anniversary edition is an essay by Jerry B. Jenkins, exploring:

• Cultural and spiritual changes over the last quarter century
• What made Left Behind so successful
• The inspiration behind the series

Read this groundbreaking work of Christian fiction for the first time or enjoy it again to be reminded of Left Behind’s incredible impact.
