Vanished

A Novel

By: David Jeremiah, Sam O'Neal

Narrated by: Roger Wayne

New York Times bestselling author Dr. David Jeremiah's theological insights are already valued by millions of readers. Now he brings that same depth to novels that explore the end of the world . . .

As leader of a special military unit charged with stopping potential pandemics before they spread, John "Haggs" Haggerty has a front-row seat to the sharp increase in natural disasters that precede the Rapture--including plagues, earthquakes, famines, wars, and rumors of war. And each crisis is becoming more intense.

Meanwhile, his own world feels like it's falling apart. He's still caught in the grief of messing up his relationship with his ex-wife, and he's trying to keep it together so that he can show up for his adult daughter before she wants him out of her life entirely. As both personal and professional situations push him to the brink, Haggs finds himself stretched further than ever in his desire to be the kind of good person he knows he should be.

Just when it seems as if things might turn around, Haggs is forced to decide between his need to find solutions and his need for personal redemption.

Vanished is Left Behind for a new generation--apocalyptic action and emotion that's infused with Dr. Jeremiah's perspective and compassion.

Look for Shattered, book #2 in The Vanished Series, in June 2026.

Critic reviews

'Dr. David Jeremiah is a well-known Christian speaker . . . but this is his first foray into fiction. The characters are interesting and well developed. Book one helps set the scene for the following books. This tale ended with a cliffhanger. I enjoyed reading this tale and look forward to the next installment.'

'Pastor Jeremiah (THE COMING GOLDEN AGE) makes his fiction debut with a gripping ride through end times-inspired chaos . . . Jeremiah makes good use of today's social and political turmoil to fuel a propulsive plot amplified by plenty of emotional conflict, and leaves a few threads dangling for future installments. Readers will want to dive right in.'

'VANISHED, Dr. David Jeremiah's apocalyptic thriller, swept me into a world teetering on the edge of eternity. It was everything I love about apocalyptic novels and more. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough as Haggs wrestled with the chaos of a crumbling world and the tender ache of mending ties with his ex-wife and daughter. This is more than a tale of survival; it's a soul-stirring journey of redemption against a backdrop of biblical prophecy come alive. I loved it!'

Powerful and Poignant

This book perfectly lays out the events leading up to the rapture. It captures this time period with great authenticity as only Dr. Jeremiah can. I haven't read or listened to a book this good about this subject since The Left Behind series.

Great story! Well written and read. Sorry to hear it come to end!

Enjoyed the suspense and flow of the whole story as it unfolded. Hope it will be a series, playing out the tribulations and battles of the characters in the coming chaos. If we will be here to read or listen or possibly the unfinished manuscript will be on the authors desk for those “left behind” to discover!

pleasure

I love all things David Jeremiah. I would have loved to hear him come to Christ. Good job on your first novel!

Great! Can't wait for #2!

Great story! Compelling drama, heart-tugging relationships, suspense! Good variety of voices by the reader, too.

Entertaining

The correspondence to Biblical scripture in an entertaining manner was a refreshing way to review the beginning of end time prophecy.
