Yeah, Hal Lindsay may have jumped the shark back in the 70's.

And Tim LaHaye w/ Jerry Jenkins were right after him in the 90's. Some of the worse writing I have ever read. No depth, no character development. Thankfully I didn't have to spend a dime to read the drivel. It reminded me of L. Ron Hubbard's "Mission Earth" Series, Which was also written by a second rate SciFi writer.

I did read Lindsey, but it was >40 years ago. He was a good writer, without or regard to facts.

I tried to read Left Behind ("available in fine garage sales everwhere!"). I stalled out about where the airline captain goes to visit the First Generic Evangelical Church of Mt. Prospect.

Anyway, after reading the first paragraph I looked at the wife and commented "it was a dark and stormy night..."
