Just imagine the uproar if
this book
was about Islam and had been bought by 2 million Muslims in the USA or Europe:
Glorious Appearing is the last in a 12-book series called Left Behind published
over the past nine years. The first 11 novels sold more than 40m copies, making
the authors, Tim LaHaye and Jerry B Jenkins, the best selling novelists in the
country, beating even John Grisham.
More than 20,000 volunteers plan to form a Left Behind street team, to spread
the word about the books to family, friends and neighbours.
The first novel, Left Behind, starts with the rapture - the moment when those
who have been born again will disappear and ascend to heaven, according to many
evangelists.
The remaining books detail the seven-year period of mayhem and upheaval in which
those left behind have their final chance to find Jesus. The antichrist becomes
the head of the UN and triggers the second coming after he signs a peace treaty
with Israel, while 144,000 Jews convert to Christianity.
