With a recent wave of prophecy-themed books piquing the interest of rapture readers, the original blockbuster end-times thriller--"Left Behind" series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins--will be making another bow next year with four repackaged editions.

Releasing in January from Tyndale House Publishers, Volume 1: Rapture's Witness, features the series' first three books--Left Behind, Tribulation Force and Nicolae. Volume 2: Deceiver's Game, releasing in April 2010, will include Soul Harvest, Apollyon and Assassins. The final two collections--Evil's Edge and World's End--will complete the repackaged editions and are scheduled for release in June 2010 and September 2010, respectively.

Approximately 800 pages each, the softcover collected editions will retail for $19.99 each. The "Left Behind" series has sold more than 64 million copies since the first title came out in 1995, Tyndale officials said. In 2007, LaHaye and Jenkins were recognized with the Pinnacle Award from the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association in recognition of the outstanding success of their apocalyptic series.
