Will the World End in 2012 - Raymond C. Hundley PH.D

Synopsis:
In Will the World End in 2012?, Raymond Hundley, PhD, gives a Christian evaluation of the ten most prominent apocalypse theories causing 2012 mania.
In the first millennia after the birth of Christ, nestled in the mountains of Central America, the Mayan people gazed at the stars and calculated days, months, years, and even the future. Their calendar, more sophisticated than any the world had known, indicated an abrupt end of time, December 21, 2012. The future they predicted is now upon us.
“There have been 149 apocalypse predictions between AD 44 and 2009,” says author Dr. Raymond Hundley. But will it really happen? In this stirring, balanced, and well-researched book, he evaluates the ten most prominent apocalypse theories and gives a surprising answer to the question everyone is asking.
His knowledge and insights lead to compelling conclusions . . . and a heartfelt call for all of humanity to look upon Jesus Christ as it seeks clarity and peace.

My Opinion:
If you are the least bit curious about the topic of Doomsday, or prophecies in general, then read this book.
Despite being a christian book, I find the scientific and factual approach to this book fascinating. The book didn't challenge my faith in any way or change what I believe about 2012, but there was an abundance of interesting content on it. Based on both views, end or no end. Non-believers and believers will all enjoy this book.
Here is my favorite part of the whole book, and ironically it sums up how I feel after reading this book;
In light of Jesus's teaching that no one knows when the end of the world will take place (Matthew 24), it is surprising that Jack Van Impe and others would make such a claim.
