Since then, the Left Behind series and its related books have sold over 62 million copies and have cumulatively spent hundreds of weeks on every major best-seller list in America, including the New York Times list. But the real impact of the Left Behind series is on souls.

Read letters they've received, and then write to tell us how the Left Behind series has impacted your life.

On religious persecution A co-worker gives us a dirty look when we quote Scripture. Our children's views on God are mocked in school. We don't hear "Merry Christmas" anymore at the mall. For the Western church, persecution is on the horizon. On sharing our faith with our families One of the toughest things a Christian can do is tell a family member the truth about heaven … and hell. On praying for miracles We don't have problems praying for everyday things: a parking place, a new job, a little extra money. Mundane requests roll off the tongue. There are spies among us!
