The Left Behind series are apocalyptic thriller written by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins, with the prophecies of the Book of Revelation as the foundation.
The campaign will focus on the novels as the starters of discussion for sharing people’s faith in Christ. It features “Tips of the Week” which initiates discussion about eternity by asking people who they think the world is going to end. Followed by people’s respond to this question, it gives biblical account of how the world will end. It also features “A Discussion-Starter Guide,” designed to initiate conversation about God’s gift of eternal life.
The website link also provides a "Tip of the Week" for starting discussions about eternity. For example one "Tip of the Week" suggests asking someone how they think the world is going to end. Then after the person responds, describe how the Left Behind series depicts the biblical account of the End Times.
