Funny and thought-provoking book

I laughed out loud. This book is a spoof on a very popular series on the end times. The tongue-in-cheek humor is worth reading but there's a bonus. It really makes you think. Scott Garber is the one of the best contemporary Christian essayists I know and this, his first book, is a good read. Enjoy!

Fun, witty and insghtful!

Garrison Keillor once noted that "There is very little room for satire in the pulpit." As a pastor, I have experienced the truth of this observation. However, there is certainly room for it in Scripture and on my book shelf, which is where my copy of "The Rapture Follies" now resides. You should know that I have never read a single word of a single book in the "Left Behind" series, or anything by Frank Peretti for that matter, mostly because I enjoy good satire to mediocre fiction. But I read and enjoyed this book, even though I occasionally had to say "ouch" as observations about the protagaonist hit a little too close to home. The book is fun, witty, and insightful.
