This book is now a low priority to read because of problems in this book I learned about by reading [b:The Great Sex Rescue: The Lies You've Been Taught and How to Recover What God Intended|54232794|The Great Sex Rescue The Lies You've Been Taught and How to Recover What God Intended|Sheila Wray Gregoire|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1608630296l/54232794._SY75_.jpg|84625060].

The general plot re: beginning of the End of Days was fine. If the author had stayed with that, I could probably overlook other narrative difficulties. Probably.
But the romance story line killed this series for me. A thirty-year-old globe-trotting journalist who’s still a virgin? Sure, it’s possible. But it was introduced in such a way that it felt contrived - engineered by the author to make the character more sparkly clean and pure.
And his love interest. A spoiled brat, ten years his junior, who plays all kinds of “read my mind and guess why I’m mad” games; but who became highly offended when her childish behavior is pointed out. By the time they reconciled, I was ready to bitch-slap her to New Babylon and back.
Maybe I’ll try the series again, someday. But not this week.… (more)

The third book in the Left Behind series that continues to follow Rayford Steele his family, friends, and the events following the rapture. Amazing that as events occur that appear in the Bible, many believe that the events happening have no relation to what is in the Bible.
Like the previous two books this one moves at a quick pace with very few slow spots.

After a large portion of the population disappears, a group of unlikely individuals unite to form a Christian coalition to witness to those left behind. They become known as the Tribulation Force. Highly recommend.
