Subject: Left Behind series - Seen results? |
Bible Note: Kalos, you have given us, I surely do believe, as sane and well-balanced a synopsis of the Left Behind series as I've seen anywhere. Things eschatological have never been my strong suit, so I've not read any of the series myself, but my wife has soaked up all the volumes to date with the avidity of a sponge..... I can see no harm at all in reading the books. They are largely fictional, but so what? If they can arrest the attention of just one lost soul long enough to cause him to think about his destiny and heed the call of Christ, they have done a good work..... Who knows? I may go to my wife's personal bookshelf and read one of the volumes. If it would help me to become half the saint she is, it would be time well spent. --Hank |
