IS OUR WORLD COMING TO AN END?
Progress tempts us to assume that our world will last indefinitely. But as we face a new millennium, it becomes increasingly apparent it won't.
Hurtling Toward Oblivion is a guided tour of the realities that present a logical argument for the end of our age. Dr. Swenson combines the trends of social change, the nature of humankind, and the rapid advance of progress and technology in a fascinating and disturbing look at our most probable future. Understand our direction and why we are Hurtling Toward Oblivion.

RICHARD A. SWENSON, M.D. is a physician and a futurist, with a B.S. in physics Phi Beta Kappa from Denison University. Following fifteen years with the University of Wisconsin Medical School, Dr. Swenson currently researches and writes full-time about the intersection of culture, health, faith, and the future. As author of the best-selling book Margin, he is a highly requested speaker on the implications of social change to a wide variety of audiences including career, professional, and management groups; most major church denominations; members of Congress, and the Pentagon. He recently released a related book entitled The Overload Syndrome.
Swenson veers away from emotional appeals by analytically showing how the economy, man's bent toward evil, and destructive resources including biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons fit into the overall scheme of possible impending calamity. However, Swenson doesn't leave readers without hope. He addresses man's fallen state but discusses in depth God's provision for escape. Instead of a shouting doomsday, this book is a call to live in a state of readiness-a suggestion even the most optimistic Christians should heed. -- CBA Marketplace, May 1999
