Dear Adventist Pastor/Leader/Member:

The upcoming movie, "Left Behind," described as an apocalyptic thriller, and scheduled to be released in theaters across North America, February 2, provides Seventh-day Adventist believers with a unique opportunity.

Upon seeing the movie, many of your friends, neighbors, work associates, and others who know of your faith, may have questions about its concepts. Here is a great opportunity to positively share your faith and confident hope in the soon return of Christ, and dispel fears of a secret rapture.

To help you answer questions, we have identified the following resources with sound responses to the movie and its concepts. Some are uploaded here, some you'll have to order:

• A letter of response to the movie that can be submitted to your local newspaper -- download here (available February 1)
• A 10-week satellite Bible-study series on the Adventist Communication Network -- begins February 21
• A special Signs of the Times booklet to order in bulk and distribute -- available NOW!
• A special book, Truth Left Behind, by Steve Wohlberg -- available NOW!
• A special issue on end-time prophecy from the Adventist Review -- available in March
• Interactive web-based Bible study, by Elder Dwight Nelson -- available NOW!

If you're looking to study and understand end-time prophecy, lead your church in a discussion on the topic, and be able to answer questions about the future, this material will help. Let us know how it goes!
