Jerry B. Jenkins, coauthor of the bestselling “Left Behind” series of books, will be on hand to autograph copies of his latest release, “Assassins,” Friday, Aug. 6 from noon-2 p.m. at Berean Christian Bookstore on Cleveland Ave. in Atlanta, and on Saturday, Aug. 7 from 1-2 p.m. at Barnes & Noble bookstore on Mt. Zion Rd. in Morrow. “Assassins” is the sixth installment in the series which has sold 8 million copies nationwide.

Based on the Book of Revelations in the Bible, the “Left Behind” books bring end-of-time prophecies to life through fiction. Coauthored by Jenkins and Tim LaHaye, the books portray the drama of those left behind following the Rapture. The New York Times writes, “The formula (for the series) combines Tom Clancy-like suspense with touches of romance, high-tech flash and Biblical references.”

In this episode in the series, world history and prophesy collide in Jerusalem at the middle of the Tribulation for the most explosive story yet in the continuing drama. Readers may discover what happens with the four murders foretold in Scripture.

“This series of books is currently the fastest selling fiction series on the market. It has broken all records for its genre,” a spokesperson said. “The fifth title in the series, “Apollyon,” reached as high as #2 on the New York Times best-seller list. The books have created such a stir that they have been the subject of articles in the New York Times, People magazine and USA Today.”

Jenkins has written four New York Times best-sellers, including the sports biographies of Orel Hershiser, “Out of the Blue,” and Nolan Ryan, “Miracle Man.” Currently, his first apocalyptic fiction title, “Left Behind,” is moving into production for a major motion picture.

“Atlanta is one of the few cities in the United States hosting two booksignings since this area is one of the top selling markets for the “Left Behind” series,” the spokesperson said.
