In a world gone mad - cities plagued by violence, the global environment being devastated, and nuclear annihilation a constant threat - how do we reclaim our confidence in the future? THE REVELATION offers a profoundly encouraging message. Here, Barbara Marx Hubbard - who visionary R. Buckminster Fuller called "the best informed human now alive regarding futurism" - turns to the prophetic visions of the biblical book of Revelation, to give us an astonishingly clear map for addressing today's problems. These ancient writings foretell the crisis of contemporary life and give a prescription for healing our planet through simple acts in our everyday lives. Jean Houston has written of this book, "if taken seriously, it marks a change of staggering proportions, a turning of the corner of humanity." Is there an alternative to Armageddon? Hubbard reveals that the Biblical book of Revelation was actually written for this, the first generation with the power to destroy the world. Many quotes from the Bible support positive views of the underlying messages of the Book of Revelation in this unusual probe. -- Midwest Book Review Used Book in Good Condition
