Description
Rayford Steele and Cameron
("Buck") Williams find themselves pressed into
service for the man they believe could be the
Antichrist.
Nicholae
Carpathia takes over the United Nations, signs a peace treaty
with Israel, and begins to lure the nations of earth together
to form one global village. Meanwhile, the judgment of God
begins to fall on the earth.
Buck and
Rayford, along with their pastor and Rayford's daughter, must
fight to stay alive and battle the forces of evil in the
strength of their fledgling, newfound faith.
Take a pound
of apocalyptic suspense, add a dash of conspiracy, a little
romance, and you've got a recipe for publishing success.
When authors Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins first imagined Left
Behind, their goal was to create "...the first
fictional portrayal of events that are true to the literal
interpretation of Bible prophecy."
Left Behind began as a sleeper,
starting slowly and building steadily, selling by word of mouth.
Eventually the book became a bestseller and LaHaye and Jenkins
discovered that the story would take more than one book to tell,
so they continued the tale in Tribulation Force.
Set against the backdrop of the Rapture, in which Jesus
has returned as promised to gather his followers and remove them
from this world, the characters in Tribulation Force must
confront life without their loved ones, struggle with evil
unleashed on the world, and ultimately embrace God's truth for
themselves.
Pilot Rayford Steele, his daughter Chloe, journalist Buck
Williams, and pastor Bruce Barnes band together to study the
Bible, pray, and support one another through this time of terror
and uncertainty.
They realize that Nicolae Carpathia is the prophesied
Antichrist, as they watch him consolidate his power. Buck and
Rayford find themselves employees of Nicolae, keeping their
faith in Jesus secret so that they can continue to work and
share their faith unhindered while secretly fighting the
Antichrist with the other members of the tribulation force.
The authors have drawn a story of intrigue and adventure
set against a cataclysm of global proportions. Readers
captivated by Left Behind will certainly want to read Tribulation
Force.
