Armagedon Now by Jim Willis
Authors Jim and Barbara Willis mine the religious and secular divide as they examine the history of apocalyptic beliefs in Armageddon Now. The authors explain the various omens and prophecies as well as the actual events that may trigger the end, such as collisions with asteroids, nuclear war, the oil crisis, global warming, and famine. From alpha to omega, it is packed with 200 entries and 100 illustrations. In the end, the end has never been so thoroughly covered as in Armageddon Now: The End of the World A to Z. It's the last word for the end user.
“Armageddon Now is well written and informative and not at all pedanticIt is interesting to browse as well as use as a reference resource and is a recommended purchase” – Booklist
“Is it the end of the world as we know it? According to a considerable minority in this country alone, the end just may be near. How else can we explain the mind-boggling popularity of such prophets as Nostradamus and Edgar Cayce? If your library caters to the converted, you may consider purchasing this A-to-Z overview of the history of apocalyptic beliefs. In 200 entries, the Willises (The Religion Book: Places, Prophets, Saints, and Seers) tackle such topics as collisions with asteroids, nuclear war, global warming, and more.” – Library Journal
“This book would be referred to time and time again as a great reference book. ... I enjoyed it greatly.” – Horrornews.net
