"Left Behind: A Novel of the Earth's Last Days" by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins is a work of fiction written in the third person omniscient point of view. The third person omniscient is appropriate for this book because it is able to reveal a wide variety of happenings and to allow the reader to witness all of the action in the story. This is a typical point of view for a fiction work, rather than using a first person point of view. A first person point of view tends to delve deeper into the emotions of the narrator or main character but often leaves much unseen.
