Collene, you might have your patron try the series by Paul D.
Meier. Titles are: The Third Millennium; The Fourth Millennium;
and Beyond the Millennium.
If your patron wants same subject, these are OK. The style,
interpretation and perspective is alittle different. This is told from
the perspective of a Jewish family, how the Rapture affects them,
etc. They're good in a different way....
