Liberty Burke asked Jerry B. Jenkins:

I have recently started the Left Behind series, and I can't get enough. It is a truly amazing series. How did you and Tim LaHaye meet and why did you guys decide to write this series?

Jerry B. Jenkins We were introduced by our mutual agent. The idea for the series was Tim's, but I got the fun part--writing every word. :)

Dr. LaHaye was a minister and bestselling nonfiction writer but not a fiction writer. He passed a couple of years ago at 90.

I hope you know there are 16 titles in the series. The first 12, followed by three prequels: The Rising, The Regime, and The Rapture, and a final sequel: Kingdom Come.

So glad you're enjoying them.
