About the Book:
The end is near. The world might end tomorrow. It might end today. Maybe even before you finish reading this book relea-
Still here? Good.
Worldwide apocalypse is no laughing matter. Until now. Pocket Guide to the Apocalypse: The Official Field Manual for the End of the World is a book about no less than the end of time itself. And lets be honest: none of us knows as much about the Last Days as we really should. Will you be able to identify the Antichrist when he hits the world stage? Can you list the dozen weirdest end-of-the-world predictions over the last millennium? Are you current on the distinctions between premillennialism, postmillennialism and amillennialism? Can you keep a straight face when preachers announce that, indeed, the Second Coming will occur next Thursday at noon?
No? Then you should request a copy of this manuscript. The Pocket Guide is a fun, entertaining little book that examines our societys Left Behind-fueled obsession with the Last Days and the mysteries of Revelation.
Chapter titles include:
·The Apocalyptionary (A Glossary of the End)
·Fun with Eschatology
·Know Your Potential Antichrists
·Armageddon Grab-Bag
... plus a detailed timeline of failed end-of-the-world predictions, a list of scary apocalyptic scenarios that might really happen, a guide to End-Times-related entertainment and much more. Most importantly, the Pocket Guide is funny. Jason Boyett expertly combines intense research, detached analysis and twentysomething snark as the Pocket Guide shines a blinding light on the sillier aspects of doomsday fixation. Dont get left behind on all the doomsday fun!

"This guy is gonna be SO left behind." - Jerry Jenkins, co-author of the Left Behind series
Jason Boyetts latest is a long-overdue primer for the thinking mans survivalist. In an age when televangelists are preaching the pie-in-the-sky by-and-by, Jason gives us practical, down-to-earth suggestions on how to handle the messier side of The End of the World with style and sense of humor intact. Think of it as Chicken Soup for the Damned Soul. No right-thinking citizen ought be without his/her own copy of Pocket Guide to the Apocalypse. Dont leave your home planet without it." - Robert Darden, Senior Editor, The Wittenburg Door
This is the full-on bathroom book of the century." - Katie Meier, author of A Girls Guide to Life
If Last Days lunacy has left you behind and the End Times madness has made you consider other world religions, then Jason Boyett's Pocket Guide to the Apocalypse is just the medicine you need. Jason makes eschatology fun, but doesn't miss a beat with all the necessary information to understand what evangelicals mean when they start talking about Bible prophecy and the upcoming tribulation. Here's a book that can enlighten the unbeliever who thinks it all sounds like science fiction, but can also help the thinking Christian sort through the history and significance of eschatology in the Bible and theology. This is a book that combines solid information with a less than ponderous attitude. In other words, it will make you laugh while you finally start understanding what evangelicals have been talking about all these years. I recommend it to everyone." - Michael Spencer, www.internetmonk.com
