    Jesus told us one definitive sign that must happen before His return: the appearing of the abomination of desolation. We are told in two gospels to know what it is and to understand its impact on us and the world. Did you know that we are only two prophetic signs away from the appearing of the beast of the Revelation? Did you know that 99.3% of the world is already in a biometric identity system that will give the beast control over every financial transaction in the world? We are also only two signs away from his control and murderous attack against Christians and Jews. In this volume of the End Times Handbook, we discover the abomination of desolation in Daniel, we prove the one to whom it points, we learn the personality of the final world ruler, we discover what to expect during his rule, we discuss the infamous mark of the beast, we learn how Christians and Jews will be affected during his rule, we discuss the timing of his appearance, the timing of Jesus return in light of his appearing and how much of the end times the elect of God will experience before being caught away to meet Jesus in the clouds. Jesus is clear in Matthew 24:29-31 that His elect will not be gone before the beast appears: Are you ready for what is ahead? In this volume of the End Times Handbook, we grapple with the discomfort of Scripture as we learn how much of the beast kingdom the elect will experience and the signs for which to watch. Now is the time to get ourselves and others ready for what is ahead. If we wait until these events happen, it will be too late. How ready are you? This book narrated by the author will help you find out.

    How to Think More and Better -...

    William B. Irvine, author of the popular book "A Guide to the Good Life," offers much needed philosophical advice on how to become a more rational and critical thinker in today's emotionally-driven and complex world. 
      
    Even the most reasonable of us can be selective about when we think reasonably. We may realize that the best thing to do is to take the advice of our doctor when facing a medical issue. When shopping for a new car or appliance we might carefully assess online reviews and weigh our options calmly before making an informed decision. But when it comes to things that feel more fraught—voting, navigating a challenge in our family, figuring out what to do in a difficult professional situation—we might throw this approach out the window, dismissing facts and patterns that form a body of evidence, and trust our gut. (Of course, there is a time and place for this, but not every big decision is purely a matter of the heart.) Likewise, when we think about big ideas, about right and wrong, or about concepts so complex they make anyone's head spin, we can freeze, jumping to conclusions rather than wading into the details, or considering the existing arguments that others offer as a trail through challenging terrain. How can we do better? How can we train our minds to be more consistent? How can we practice using the best of our rational abilities when it matters most? 
      
    How to Think More and Better offers a philosopher's advice on becoming a more rational and critical thinker, rather than relying on emotions or hearsay to reach important decisions. It trains the reader in open-minded critical thinking. This thinking is crucial in a time of political polarization, social media, politicized news media, and echo chambers, to help us pursue truth and understanding in a world of rabbit holes, echo chambers, and disinformation. Irvine explains the prevalence of emotion-driven thinking is often at the expense of engagement with evidence, and then lays out strategies readers can use to train themselves to think more critically, drawn from what worked for him in the classroom. He also covers important areas to aid intellectual self-transformation, such as Mindcare and Mindcleaning.  
      
    With practice, most people can become evidence-based thinkers. Seemingly intractable contemporary problems might be solved if we all start engaging more in this kind of slow and careful thinking, considering arguments and evidence even from those on opposite sides of key debates. 
      
    "William B. Irvine is the voice of reason—and reasoned thinking—in a world that feasts on attention and spectacle and drama. How to Think More and Better is a guide to recovering our senses not only as citizens, but as judicious and thoughtful human beings."—Tom Nichols, author of The Death of Expertise
