Jenkins, Jerry B. and Tim LaHaye(1998)
Left Behind, the Kids: The Vanishings
Young Adult

Four young people are brought together by a common occurrence--members of their families have disappeared from the face of the earth. In fact, people have disappeared all over the world, right out of their clothing. It appears that a Bible prophecy has been fufilled and Vicki, Lionel, Judd, and Ryan have been left behind to survive in the world's chaos. This book is written in three parts and spans the lives of the main characters before and after the great disappearance. It is interesting to piece together the connections of the characters and learn how their friendships develop through their circumstances. This is the first book in the teen series by Jenkins and LaHaye.

Reader's comments about this book

This very moving and exciting book really provokes one to stop and think, "What if I really DO get left behind?" It gives many modern-day Christians a whole new perspective on the scope of life, and the tribulation period. This book is just one of 15 remarkable titles by Jenkins & LaHaye.

So far, each title in the Left Behind series leaves me begging for more! LaHayes and Jenkins keep you on the edge of your seat with each page! Strongly recommended to all young teens and preteens.

Left Behind is a great book. I recommend this book to all teens and young adults. You should read all the books in the series. It has kept me at the edge of my seat and kept me begging for more. It has also helped my spiritual life and it could help yours, too!
