"Left Behind", the first novel in a series that went on to sell over 40 million copies, was first published on September 29, 1995. The dozen
-plus novels, by evangelist Tim LaHaye with writer Jerry Jenkins, follow the adventures of a group of late-converting Christians who were not taken up to heaven in the Rapture, and left on Earth to fight the Antichrist.
The first two books of the series were made into motion pictures starring "Growing Pains" star Kirk Cameron. The entire series was also adapted into this highly-recommended dramatic radio serial.
