This is the first novel in the 'Left Behind' series. It's a fictional account of people left behind on earth after the Rapture, and follows one strand of belief, based on the rather limited things stated in the Bible on this topic.
This novel is fast-moving and rather scary believable. It introduces an interesting mixture of people although none of them are particularly well-developed as characters.
Bereaved people make commitments to God in this book. Then they prepare to undertake the most difficult and traumatic years of their lives. Theology and preaching are cleverly interwoven with the plot, although they could be skimmed by those who prefer to see this as a straightforward fictional thriller.
Recommended, on the whole. I look forward to reading more of this series, although I doubt if I'll re-read this any time soon.
