Bruce Barnes

Hey guys. Here is a previous article I wrote for another site about Bruce.


Bruce Barnes, assistant pastor at New Hope Village Church, in Mount Prospect, looked at it all as a story. It was more like head-knowledge to him. He never acted on the truth he told others. His wife, and three children, ages of 5, 3, and 1, didn`t know the wiser. One night he was up to late reading, his wife asking him to turn off the light, when everything and everyone he knew disappeared.... all of his family and most of the church was gone. He immediately repented, and became a real Christian.

The kids series

Jerry Jenkins and Tim Lahaye, the well known authors for the Left Behind series have also written an end times fiction for teens. Left Behind the Kids revolves around a new group of believers, The Young Tribulation Force. At the core of this group are its four original members: Judd, Vicki, Lionel, and Ryan. The adults make occasional appearances in riveting series, containing forty books.

When asked about the kids series, Jenkins once said, "The idea for a kids' seriesseries based on Left Behind really came from the publisher, and at first blush it seemed to make sense. I'd written a lot of kids' fiction in the past. The idea was to not just dumb down the product so it would be easier to read,  but to actually start with new main characters and have them be in the age group of the readers.  So we start with 4 kids from 12 to 16. And over the period of 7 years of the Tribulation, they age by that much, of course, so it's an interesting dynamic to watch these kids grow up. They become believers early in the story, and then they have their own adventures and exciting times fighting the Antichrist while trying to keep from being exposed as believers."
