Random Books

I was down at Ollie's Bargin Outlet (which sounds like a sore out of a bad cartoon) and picked up three books on a whim from the "Inspriational" section.

1) Prophecies of the Bible: God's Word for the Biblically-Inept. (2.99) - an Idiot's Guide-type of book for fundys.

2) Charting the End Times: A Visual Guide to Understanding Bible Prophecy. (6.99) - A beautifully illustrated overview of the whole thing. Not long, but nice, hard-bound, and fun.

3) The End-Times Survival Handbook. (99ยข) - A campy little red book just like those disaster books that were out a few years ago. Pretty dense for a cheap book, but not very readable. Worth a buck, though.

Anyway, unless you're a masachoist, (and I think many fundys are) it's not a very "inspirational" thing.

It will be a few hours of amusement browsing these things. They are just about the most fanciful and campy part of folklore in modern Christianity, but they make good stories. Without them, there wouldn't be a second Ghostbusters movie.
