The 5-books of the "Left Behind" series are spell- binding. I am looking forward to reading the sixth book, "The Assassins" due by August 99. The messages are riviting and based on the Bible. As I read, I envisioned actors I would like to see portraying the key characters in the forthcoming movie(s). I read all five books within two weeks and I work full-time. I have recommended the series to others and I am grateful to a very good friend who recommended the series to me.
