Synopsis

The realm of Bible prophecy fascinates millions of people, yet today there is a disconnect between true Bible prophecy and the everyday lives of people living in American popular culture. Bible prophecy experts are generally Christian conservatives/fundamentalists who talk about the Rapture, the antichrist, and the mark of the beast. Yet while those subjects titillate audiences, they do so in the same way the films of Stephen King scare us. Jim Fletcher fills that void with a look at just how relevant (and true) Bible prophecy really is, showing how: . Despite the mockery of the Bible today, we are in fact living in the last days of world history, as outlined in the Hebrew and Christian scriptures . God plainly reveals Himself in the Bible, and how an understanding of this can satisfy that human longing to know who is “out there” and what is happening in our world today. The writing model for this book is Blue Like Jazz (Donald Miller; Thomas Nelson, 2003) and Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith (Rob Bell; Zondervan, 2005).

From the Back Cover

Don't Panic...

Jim Fletcher admits to having a fascination when it comes to end of the world. Will it come in a cataclysm? In an inferno? Will it come at all? Is Al Gore right...will we melt like slumbering snowmen? Or are we truly running to a place of bliss?

Fletcher has spent much of his adult life in search of the truth about the Bible and Bible prophecy, and in It's the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine), he clearly demonstrates just how relevant (and true) the Bible really is, showing how...

* Despite the mockery of the Bible today, we are in fact living in the last days of world history, as outlined in the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures.
* God has plainly revealed Himself in the Bible.
* You can satisfy that human longing to know who is "out there" and what is happening in our world today.

With humor and a keen eye for pop culture, Fletcher walks you through the opinions of people from the famous to the obscure and then demonstrates conclusively that the Bible's predictions are true...and there's nothing to be afraid of.
