Set in the near future, the central characters, among those left behind during the rapture, use cellphones and high tech computer technology to battle the rising Anti-Christ and bring the message of salvation to others.

The true believers are the ones who believe that Jesus did all the work. Who would have ever dreamed that a book series on the end times would become a revolution in not just the Christian publishing world but the publishing world in general, says Peter LaLonde.

LaLonde, along with brother Paul, heads up Cloud Ten Pictures, the company which recently brought the movie version of Left Behind to theatres.
