"This book was difficult to read due to the subject matter but it is well worth the time to read if you are curious about the current perverse obsession in some parts of the US without the mythical End Times. I was particularly distressed that prophecy enthusiasts like John Hagee and Joel Rosenthal are presented as "Middle Eastern experts" on Fox News without their true backgrounds being explained (they are fomenting their opinions on current events from poring over the Old Testment, not from any sort of formal education on Middle Eastern history, culture or language.) Yet another reason to get your news from the newspaper.
Guyatt speaks to Rosenthal as well as Tim LaHaye (of the "Left Behind" series) and a few other lesser known members of the movement. John Hagee and Hal Lindsey ("The Late Great Planet Earth"), two people that someone outside of the movement might be familiar with, refused to be interviewed. He is obviously skeptical but treats them very fairly."
"When I was young I was told that Jesus would come back like a "thief in the night." It was said to me like it was a golden, glowing promise- something sweet and something sure to happen any day now. The words thief and night scared me to death, and since I was also told that no one would know the hour of his coming I would every day wake up and say with as much certainty as I could muster, "Jesus is coming back today" just to make sure that he wouldn't. That said, I totally got this book. I knew where the author was going and was surprised at how respectful and clinical he remained.
One of my favorite passages in the book is advice that Tim Lahaye, co-author of those horribly written Left Behind cash cows, gives the author. "Keep up the good work, and remember this. The best way to reach the minds of people is the printed page. God chose the printed page to communicate with mankind.""

"What you'll think of this book depends on what you're expecting it to be.
If, like me, you're expecting a gentle mickey-take of wacky American preachers rooted in end-times prophecy (as you'd expect from the title and my edition's cover) you'll be disappointed.
The book is reasonably easy to read in most places, although I got stuck around chapters 3-4, when you suddenly hit a block of solid history, detailing apocalyptic thinking from the past few hundred years for 50 pages or so. Once you get back to the on-the-ground interviews and the current stuff, it becomes accessible once more.
It was interesting to see how different people tackled the paradox of naturally wanting things to improve in the world, while knowing that things getting worse was a sign of the (wanted) apocalypse coming !"
