**Page 1-92/Chapters 1-9 of Left Behind: A Novel of Earth's Last Days**
A mid-air crisis, empty clothes, and a ton of casual misogyny--Shane and Gavin kick off the series with the first several chapters of the original 1995 novel. Rayford Steele and Buck Williams are introduced along with a whole host of side characters with equally ridiculous names and the Rapture of the Church sends the entire planet spiraling into chaos.
