chu slt left behind
A new version of the motion picture “Left Behind” seeks to appeal to a broader audience than the original. But the producers at Stoney Lake Entertainment are counting on retaining the Christian audience that carried the first version.While billed as “an apocalyptic action-thriller” starring Nicholas Cage, “Left Behind” focuses on the first few hours after the Rapture occurs. The website for the movie (www/leftbehindmovie.com) also offers a “ministry resources kit” that includes group Bible study content and sermon guides, along with a bonus DVD of the new documentary, “The Rapture: The Beginning of the End.”A nationwide release is set for Friday, Oct. 3, and the movie will open that night at Golden Belt Cinema Six in Great Bend.“Left Behind” is based on a portion of the first book in the best-selling series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins and will feature the main characters from the book, including Rayford Steele, Cameron “Buck” Williams, Chloe Steele, and Hattie Durham.
