I just finished reading this article about the two guys that write the "Left Behind" series. It's funny that you think you know something about someone based on the books they write, the fame they garner, etc. But really after reading this I find that they are just normal humans like you and I, except maybe just a hair richer. They have the same struggles with their faith, some questions for the Lord, etc. They seek to live their life pleasing to Him. Whether I like the books or agree with them is a moot point, they are on this same journey as I as children of the Lord and we are brothers in the Kingdom of God. That is refreshing and very freeing to know.
