Will the World End in 2012? (A Christian Guide to the Question Everyone is Asking About) by Raymond Hundley
This book assesses many of the views and scenarios of how the world will end, specifically in 2012. There are some views presented which are downright preposterous while others might leave a person wondering whether the ash or the lava will consume them. As a whole, Dr. Hundley presents a myriad of theories and honestly attempts to assess each without a Christian bias, though there are times his faith is very evident. The conclusion and premise of the book is where his faith is most apparent, but that is the point.
As a whole, I give this book a 2.5 out of 5. Dr. Hudley’s presentation of the topics and scenarios seems underdeveloped at times. His attempts to be unbiased also leave some of the assessments not making much sense. To the learned Christian reader, his conclusion is not very challenging as most of its content can be found in Sunday School Curriculum. Aside from these, I did learn quite a bit in these pages and even got a little startled about possible natural disasters even in my own backyard. Check this book out from the library.
I review books for Thomas Nelson Publishers and received this book for free to do so.

I agree, I doubt the rapture or 'the end' will happen in 2012 simply because that would conflict with Matthew 24:36-39. Sure Jesus doesn't include the word 'year', but trying to name a year is technically selecting 365 potential days. None of us will ever know when, but as Jesus says we should be ready as though it were to come at any moment.
Free books! Nice haul buddy :D
