As opposed to ...um ... the Bible? Money is not evil. The LOVE of money is evil.
Since LaHaye is a millionaire many times over, and financially secure for many generations - and since this is such an important tool for spreading the Gospel (as you say), I assume he's going forego royalties on the next book so the publisher can sell to the public at cost?
Additionally, the Left Behind series specifically excludes Catholics from this so-called rapture. Sure - love thy neighbor, and all that good Gospel stuff.
First, I was Catholic when I read the first Left Behind book, and I do not recall it leaving them out (actually, I think the Pope was raptured, which left a hole for the false prophet to fill, but my memory may be hazy, it's been a long time).
Second, you seem to have a real issue with people making money. I'm sorry, but that's YOUR issue. I cannot address it. The Left Behind books are not to compete with the Bible, any more than any other text with a Christian message. I don't know why the books and Lehay make you angry, and I'm sorry that they clearly do. God Bless you.

HaHa...The Catholic church teaches there is no rapture...I doubt LeHay left any religion out...
Sometime soon, there's some Catholics that are going to be in for the surprise ride of their lives...They don't have anything at DisneyLand or Cedar Point that will compare to it...
