Book 1 Left Behind – The Kids, Chapter 6 Judd Returns Home


Judd was so keyed up, so excited, and yet so worried about what his parents were going to do when they discovered he had disappeared, he couldn’t imagine having fallen asleep. Yet he had. He figured out how to make the seatback recline, and he was soon staring at the dark ceiling, his eyes beginning to grow accustomed to the low light. He folded his arms across his chest and forced himself to breathe more and more slowly. He had to relax, needed to get some rest if he was going to succeed in finding a place to hide out in London.

Hattie, the flight attendant, blinded by every half hour or so, and just realized he was finally starting to unwind when he quit looking forward to watching her. Eventually, the slow blinking began, then he turned sideways and curled up. Now we had to close his eyes or he would appear to stare at the large man in the window seat next to him.

The man had said not one word the entire flight, but just noticed he had bowed his head before eating. That Judd would never do, not even in private, unless he was with his family. That was another reason he needed to be out on his own – so he wouldn’t be embarrassed by all the religious rituals. His mother hated it when Judd referred to her faith as a religion. She had told him so many times he had memorized it, “Christianity is not a religion, it’s a relationship with God through Christ.”

Yeah, OK, Judd thought.

Judd had no idea how long he had been sleeping. In fact, he wasn’t sure he had slept at all. And if he had slept, was he really awake now? He was disoriented, in the same position he had curled into, how long ago? He felt as if he had been sleeping and had not moved. But his eyes were open. Something was different.

Chapter 1 The Vanishings – Judd, the Runaway


Almost everyone in America, and globally too, have read or seen at least some of the “Left Behind” series by Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim LaHaye in a book or movie. But did you know that Jerry and Tim also wrote a series based on “Left Behind” called “Left Behind – The Kids”? I’ve just discovered that they did and today we will begin the first book – “The Vanishings”

Four teenagers discover each other – Judd, Vicki, Lionel, and Ryan. They come together after millions of people have suddenly vanished from Earth. They band together to fight the evil forces that threaten their lives.

Here is just the start of Chapter 1:

John Thompson Junior it always hated having the same name as his father. Until now.

Every time the phone rang and someone asked for Judd, it was “Which one? Big Judd or Little Judd?” The funny thing was, Little Judd was already taller than his father. He had just gotten his driver’s license and the whiskers on his chin formed a thin goatee. He was tired of being called Junior, and if he were never called Little Judd again for the rest of his life, it would be too soon.

But now, for once being Judd Thompson Junior was working in Judd’s favor. This break was meant to be, John decided. After days of fighting with his parents about where he was going, who he was with, what he was doing, and how late he would be in, he had just happened to be home one afternoon. And his mother picked that day to ask him to bring in the mail. If that didn’t prove this was meant to be, Judd didn’t know what did.”

Judd is about to go to the mailbox and find his escape from his parents. Join me as we share Chapter 1 of this great book. –Ray
