Nuclear warfare. Religious jihads. Genetic engineering run amuck.

Are we nearing the end of the world as we know it? A few vocal futurists have publicly admitted that we are likely to destroy ourselves by the year 2050. Many more say that for the first time in human history we cannot confidently predict the broad outlines of the human condition a mere 50 years from now.

Join futurist Mark Hatch in this absorbing and alarming wake-up call on why many of today s scientists and futurists believe the end is near. Hatch will examine credible doomsday scenarios and compare them with the biblical indicators of the last days. Then, he ll invite you to explore with him what this means for Christians.

In Hatch s first book, Boiling Point, released in January of 2001, he told us that within the decade we would see: blackouts and rolling brownouts (like those that have since hit both coasts), the danger of new infectious diseases (West Nile Virus, specifically), an increase in terrorism (with the likely development of ultra-violent extremism), and the use of video to distribute terror images globally (such as filmed beheadings).

What s next for our fragile planet? Read The End to discover what the last chapter holds in store.

"Living each day to the fullest is easier when you think the end is near. Mark will blow your mind... it's near."
