Left Behind

Those who know me well know that I'm not all that religious. I guess I would call myself a practicing agnostic, as in I'm actively curious and don't discount most people beliefs (though I do have some strong opinions of my own!).

But for whatever reason, I love Christian shows and novels.

7th Heaven? One of my favourites, although I must say it's not currently on my regularly watched schedule. I try to keep up with reruns on CTS @ 4pm, if I can get off work earlier. But I would also say that this show is on the tame side of pushing religion. I definitely don't like anything pushed down my throat. I have very few things to thank my mother for, but allowing me to choose my own beliefs would be one (I'm not baptized).

And now leading into the title of this blog...Left Behind I used to work on our Christian book club at work, which broadened my knowledge of religious titles. I couldn't get enough of this series when I started it. I got to read the first 5 books, but couldn't find 6 & 7 at our book sales. I had to order these through a friend at work, which was a trial in itself...all I'll say is it's a good thing I'm not a real customer! So, in the last month I've gotten to continue the series (16 in all). I'm now on book 10, which is getting closer to the return of Christ. There's a lot more Bible references, so the reading is getting harder for me, but I'm plowing through them, and they're getting better with each one. Because of this series, the Bible has been added to my reading list (which is up over 100 books now).

Even if this isn't your thing, you have to see the movie...it stars Kirk Cameron! How can you beat that?! Unfortunately, I haven't seen it yet...Clarence!
