Armageddon Now: The End of the World A to Z

By Jim Willis and Barbara Willis

“Armageddon Now is well written and informative and not at all pedantic. It 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

Don’t be left behind.

Covering all doomsday prophecies whether by fire or ice, bang or whimper, asteroid or alien, act of God or human folly!

Environmental disasters, ebola outbreaks, war in the Middle East, political riots and upheavals may all be signs that the end times are coming. The timeless notion that the end is near is once again exerting a powerful influence on politics, religion, and pop culture. Omens and prophecies, asteroid collisions and nuclear war, global warming and virus pandemics, alien intervention, act of God or human folly, doomsday prophecies abound within the pages of Armageddon Now: The End of the World A to Z as we speculate how we might soon greet the eve of destruction.

From alpha to omega and predictions from Nostradamus to the ancient Mayans, this tome is packed with 200 entries, 100 illustrations, and an extensive index. Satan, saints, survivalists, and evangelical preachers known for their views on biblical prophecies receive their due. The End has never been so thoroughly covered as in Armageddon Now. It’s the last word for the end user. So, don’t be left behind. Save yourself by buying this book.
