title: End Time Visions: The Road to Armageddon?
author:  Richard Abanes 
description: Abanes, an investigative reporter and director of the Religious Information Center in Southern California, has written a well-researched, highly entertaining, and informative book about the human fascination with apocalyptic events. He asserts that doomsaying prophets throughout history were not only often wrong but spectacularly wrong, and he backs up his conclusions with a tremendous amount of documentation. He covers a great deal of ground: from the nightmare worlds of Jim Jones, David Koresh, and Shoko Asahara, to the biblical battles between Gog and Magog, a scenario that was often used as a prediction that the former Soviet Union "will" invade Israel. Of special note are his investigations into the prophecies of the "sleeping prophet" Edgar Cayce and Nostradamus, whose work, under a clear light, proves unreliable and false. As the millennium approaches, the public's hunger for more books prophecizing the end of history, earth, and time will grow and public libraries will be forced to satiate it with more purchases of such materials. It is therefore paramount that this book also be purchased and be placed among those "end-of-the-world" books as a reasoning and enlightening voice. Highly recommended for public libraries and all collections dealing with the supernatural or the occult.?Glenn Masuchika, Chaminade Univ.

  In loving memory to my Grandma Terry.
  
  
  She always told me to follow my dreams.
  
  
  It was a little late for her to see it, but I did as she told me too.
