``Left Behind: Kids Series'' Coming to DVD and Video.

LOS ANGELES -- Authors Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins to Create Productions Based on Their Enormously Successful Book Series after Reacquiring Rights from Publisher

Best selling authors Dr. Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, who have sold over sixty million copies of their enormously successful "Left Behind" and "Left Behind Kids" series of books, are pleased to announce that they have reacquired from their publisher, Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., the rights to produce and distribute videos and DVDs based upon the "Left Behind Kids" series.

"We're ecstatic to have the opportunity to grow the `Kids' series with these new family video and DVD productions," said LaHaye. "We hope to expand the reach of these stories to a whole new group of young fans and families who can learn from them and enjoy them."

"We are pleased to give the authors the chance to produce videos based upon this popular and important series of children's novels," Ron Beers, Senior Vice President of Tyndale House Publishers, said. "We look forward to the continued success of the series."

"Left Behind: The Kids Series" is a favorite of kids ages 10-14. The series follows teens who were "left behind" with nothing but their newfound faith in God to sustain them as they are tested in the aftermath of the apocalyptic Rapture and ensuing period of Tribulation here on Earth. The cliffhangers from book to book keep readers reading -- eleven million copies have been sold. The next book from the "Kids Series" is due out next spring.

The authors plan to begin production of the videos based on the novels early next year. More information on the "Left Behind" series can be found at www.leftbehind.com.
