As you've read the Left Behind series, have you wondered what happened before that fateful day of the "disappearances"? What was Nicolae like as a boy? What contributed to his becoming the charismatic world leader who would then be revealed as the Satan-possessed Antichrist?
Or, perhaps you've thought about Rayford and others who knew the way to salvation but were still among those left behind. Now, in three books to be released over the next 15 months, authors Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye will reveal some of those answers.
