IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD—WHICH COULD BE A PROBLEM…

Mark Hogan has it all. The job. The family. A position on the board at church. All he’s missing is a boat. Not just any boat—a 2008 Bayliner 192.

When Reverend Daniel Glory announces that the Rapture is taking place on October 17 at 5:51am, Hogan realizes his boat—buying days are numbered. So he does what any man in his situation would do—he borrows a load of money from the mob.

Not that there’s any risk involved: After all, when the Rapture comes, Hogan will be long gone. The mob will never find him.

But when Jesus fails to come back on schedule, Mark Hogan finds the mob is in no mood to discuss the finer points of end—times theology…

Chris Well’s laugh—out—loud Christian thrillers appeal to the millions of readers who gobble up the rollicking crime fiction of Janet Evanovich and Elmore Leonard.

This book sounds interesting. I’ve ordered it from Amazon, and will post a review about it when I get around to reading it. Hogan’s actions, borrowing money from the mob since the rapture is coming, remind me of the actions of a religious organization that I’ve heard a lot about. I’d heard of one religious organization that predicted Christ’s second coming for 1975. I heard that people sold their homes, using the proceeds for ‘the cause’ in light of Christ’s return, only to be disappointed. The Bible says to beware of false prophets, and I think trying to predict the second coming of Christ and the rapture is a definite no-no!
