Religious-ish Fiction Books on Armageddon.?
I have this weird fixation with the end of the world apparently and I love to hear, read, and watch fictitious versions of what authors and writers think this might play out like. I’ve seen most versions of virus, robot, zombie outbreak, meteor collision, and nuclear holocaust stuff. But I’m now more interested in a religious aspect after-rapture type deal. So if anyone could give me a hand with any books and/or movies on this subject I’d greatly appreciate it. I’m thinking more along the lines of the movie Gabriel. Thanks a ton =]
Try the Left Behind series.

The Terminator $6.99 This is the film that cemented Schwarzenegger’s spot in the action-brawn firmament, and it was well deserved.

But don’t overlook the contributions of Linda Hamilton, who more than holds her own as the Terminator’s would-be vi… |

Planet of the Apes [Blu-ray] $9.99 Many early science fiction films are now, quite inadvertently (and in most cases undeservedly), objects of camp attention: we laugh at the silly makeup, tin-can special effects, and the naive “high-tech” dialogue. Planet of the Apes is no such film. Its intelligent script, frightening costuming, and savagely effective conclusion (which needs no big-budget special effects to augment its impact) rem… |
