17. See, here’s the plan:

Sep 2014
you put on your spiffy new Left Behind T-shirt (just $18.99 + $6 shipping) and matching baseball cap with the lofted embroidery (also $18.99) – and everyone will see that question, “Are You Ready?” and be intrigued.
...
And then you can share the gospel with them. You can answer, “Ready for the day that Jesus takes away all the righteous in the Rapture, leaving the rest of you behind for seven years of torment and anguish before you’re all slaughtered and damned to an eternity of conscious torture in Hell.”

“Please go on,” they’ll say. “Tell me more … is there some way I can escape this horrifying fate?”

And then you can teach them to pray the magic prayer. And then, after they say “In Jesus name, Amen” you can give them the link to this website — www.kerusso.com/leftbehind/products — and they’ll be able to buy their own T-shirts, hats, silicon wristbands, and 16-oz., stainless steel-lined, BPA-free tumblers with powerful graphics and messaging.

Because nothing says Real True Christian Believer like Merchandising Opportunities from the film's executive producer, Willie Robertson. You can't get into heaven without increasing the profits of Robertson, Inc. Everyone knows that.
