The Left Behind Complete Set, Series 1-12

by Tim LaHaye

Rayford Steele’s mind was on a woman he had never touched.

Woof! This is the opening sentence of the book, and there’s so much to unpack. The bad name, the fact that we’re introduced to our main character via their sex life, the weirdly judgmental tone we’re getting from the narrator, and how about the fact that this sentence does nothing to pull us into the story. This single line made me want to read the whole series. Hands and feet inside the vehicle, folks, because here we go!
