Vanished Brings Left Behind
to the Next Generation
By Kerry Nenn

When a billion people around the world suddenly vanish, 15-year-old Gabby (Amber
Frank) must learn to navigate a new and
dangerous world. Joined by her younger
sister and two teen boys vying for her affection, Gabby sets out to discover what has
happened as they try to survive the chaos
that surrounds them.
Vanished is the first installment of Left
Behind: Next Generation. This young adult
series is designed to capture teen audiences

and engage them in thoughts, discussions
and considerations of the end times and
their own spiritual destiny.
Faith Filled Family Magazine spoke with
Randy LaHaye, producer of the series and
grandson of Tim LaHaye, co-author of the
original Left Behind series. Randy offered
personal reflections on the impact of this
influential project.
