"The End of the World is so astonishingly brilliant that it almost hurts to read it, but at the same time so wise and loving and full of yearning..." -Barbara Ehrenreich, author, Nickel and Dimed
"In a heartfelt book short enough to read under the light of your last set of AA batteries, my friend and pastor Billy Talen shows how the more we buy, the more distance between us we create, and thus the more we need to buy, ad infinitum. Life or death, love or stuff the choice may still be ours." -Douglas Rushkoff, media theorist
Children hurricanes swamp our coasts! Fracking poisons our drinking water! Mountain tops are bulldozed into streams! The end of the world is nigh!
In pages that crackle with the lightning of an electric storm, the Reverend Billy, messianic leader of the Church of Stop Shopping, thunders from his pulpit, sounding the tocsin on the toxins that are poisoning our planet.
The Mayan calendar points to the final apocalypse descending on us in December 2012. Evangelicals have been raising hell about the coming Rapture since the death of their Christ.
But the good Reverend's eschatology is less scriptural. Rather it is rooted in the environmental disasters that rampant capitalism and couldn't-care-less governments are visiting on our world.
As the fish and forests perish, our future here on earth looks bleaker than ever. But, our Reverend insists in a sequence of surreally imagined sermons, we cannot be passive congregants in the face of our own demise.
Rather, with soaring parables from protests as far apart as the bank lobbies of Barcelona and the underground police cells of New York City, our preacher raises a resounding "Earthallujah!", turning back the devils of debt and destruction, rallying those of radical faith to save themselves and save us all.

With the urgency and emotion stirring style of an evangelical, Bill Talen uses this style to reveal how church, state and academia have colluded to perpetuate a status quo that has created the desperate situation the earth is presently in. With all too many easily turning a blind eye, Talen breaks down some history, facts, and personal stories with a poetic grace that touches the soul (if you still have one) on how to "confront the manufacturers of this over-arching con-job" and our connection to it that has driven the planet we live upon to a tipping point. The one-and-only over-arching subject deserving of the urgency and poetic grace Talen writes with. Its about time and well overdue for someone to say it like it is. An easy read that can fit in your back pocket. Carry it and pass it around!Product details

The End of the World Bill Talen 9781935928935 Books Reviews
This book was as shallow in thickness as it was intellectually! This author/activist will never command a large following because although he many be right, he lacks the character to impress most people.
