Bart Ehrman mentions this book in his lectures. According to him it was a huge seller. Funny thing is the author wrote a followup and that book also sold. I mean for me you get one chance to predict the end of the world no second chances.

Belief in this book = Marriage (for me)

August 28, 2013

Format: Pamphlet

I too was one of the idiots who bought into this hysteria in 1988. I was a naive 21 year old who put way too much faith into anything my church pastor taught. When he brought Edgar Whisenant to our church for a series of talks about the 88 reasons, I believed every word of it because my pastor believed it. As a matter of fact, belief in this book compelled my then girlfriend and I to marry much earlier than we originally had intended. We were taught that what is bound together on earth will be bound together in heaven and so we HAD to get married so we would be together after the rapture occurred. When the designated range of dates passed, I remember there being a lot of confusion and anger in the church and we ended up leaving. After several years of religious exploration dosed with much more skepticism than before, I ended up rejecting Christianity all together. I'm not saying this book caused me to become an atheist, but it was a major catalyst for me to start thinking for myself about religious issues. In light of that and its novelty value now, I give it 5 stars. Oh, and we just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary!

Update: Now been married and still going strong at 30 years.

4 October, 1988 . . . .

June 20, 2016

Format: Pamphlet

A copy of this book is lovingly stored as one of the cherished mementos of the birth of my first child.
According to the book's meticulously detailed internal timeline, the Rapture will occur on October 4th, 1988 -- the day my son was born.
I have always regarded the Rapture as one of the more amusing elements of American Vernacular Christianity. It originated as a piece of what could charitably be called theological speculative fiction -- sort of like the Chronicles of Narnia -- written by the Rev. John Darby in 1830. Not only does it have no basis in Scripture, but attempts to "calculate" the moment it occurs seem to contradict Matthew 24:36, "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."
I never did understand why some people were in such a big hurry -- why not just let God take care of it?

I remember my dad having a copy of this in his office; I believe I saw it around 1989 or 1990. The only reason that I remember from the book was that in 1988, the US would be 212 years old (from July 4, 1776) and Congress would see its 100th session; coincidentally, according to the book, the boiling point of water was 212 degrees Fahrenheit and 100 degrees Celsius. Seriously, that was one of the 88 Reasons given by ol' Edgar.

New literary genre, "Epic fail literature".

January 30, 2020

Format: Pamphlet

While this book was a bestseller back in 1988; there is a better book on this subject: "00 reasons the rapture will occur in 2000". That book is 88 reasons shorter than this one. This book reminded me of a David Letterman top ten list multiplied by 8.8. I give this book one star because the rapture didn't happen in 1988.
