Apocalyptic Christian fiction …

This month Hampton Village Book Club (HVBC) members are reading “The Nephilim and the Pyramid of the Apocalypse” by Patrick Heron. HVBC is sponsored by Lovett Memorial Library, 111 N. Houston, Pampa, Texas, and is hosted by Hampton Village located on Alcock in Pampa. The group meets at Hampton Village once a month.

“The Nephilim” is a non-fiction work that focuses on the End Times. Lovett Memorial has a number of Apocalyptic Christian fiction titles as well as more traditional non-fiction books on the subject.

One of the most popular and well-known inspirational End Time series is the “Left Behind” series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. Altogether, there are sixteen books in this series. The first three titles are available for check-out in an omnibus edition titled “Rapture’s Witness” which includes “Left Behind,” “Tribulation Force,” and “Nicolae.” A DVD based on the series is also available from the library along with various other book titles within the series.

The series includes the following titles: “Left Behind”; “Tribulation Force”; “Nicolae”; “Soul Harvest”; “Apollyon”; “Assassins”; “The Indwelling”; “The Mark”; “The Desecration”; “The Remnant”; “Armageddon”; “Glorious Appearing”; “The Rising”; “The Regime”; “The Rapture”; and “Kingdom Come.” A series for younger readers is also available.
