As for dialogue, I think it keeps things moving to cut to the chase.

I don't see success as the goal. Obedience is the goal.

I put off writing the first Left Behind book for a year because I got invited to assist Billy Graham in his memoirs, and had we known what we were putting off for a year, we might not have put it off.

SOON was the first novel where I used a rough outline. Usually I have characters and an idea and write as a process of discovery. Like working without a net.

The most comforting feeling ever is knowing that someone truly likes your entire existence. I feel that way right now. Thank you.

You can't understand where someone's going unless you understand where they've been.

Left Behind takes what to some people may be unbelievable predictions from the Bible and shows how they might play out. It makes the events of biblical prophecy understandable and thus believable.
