Is The End of Days Upon Us?

According to Nicholas Guyatt, author of Have a Nice Doomsday: Why Millions of Americans are Looking Forward to the End of the World (Harper Perennial; Trade Paperback Original; On Sale October 2, 2007; $13.95), fifty million Americans believe that it is. In his fascinating, humorous, and at times unnerving book, Guyatt offers an entertaining and compelling look inside the End Times movement in modern America and whether any day now, Jesus will snatch up his followers and spirit them to heaven. Guyatt talks about his journey into the heartlands of America’s Bible Belt as well as: What exactly evangelicals believe in and who is listening to them . Whether the president of Iran appears in Bible prophecy Texas mega-churches that seat over 18,000 people and bible study barbeques. Whether Russia will attack Israel and ignite the Tribulation. How many believers aren’t sitting around waiting for the Rapture, they are taking an active, and often political role, getting involved in debates over abortion, gay rights and even foreign policy and event perhaps stretching their influence to the White House. We don’t get to these questions , but they can be garnered from the book. In a society increasingly fascinated by the end of the world and with those who believe the end is nigh, Have a Nice Doomsday, provides an intriguing and captivating insight into this unusually American obsession. https://videos.whiteblox.com/gnb/secure/player.aspx?sid=34938
