What End of Days is about
Sylvia Browne, a popular psychic, wrote this 2008 book for readers who feel uneasy about where the world is heading. She argues that religious wars, global terrorism, and genocide have helped bring on what she calls the Anxiety Age, and she asks what the next fifty years may hold.
She takes on some of the best-known doomsday material, including the Mayan calendar's prediction that the world ends in 2012, the prophecies of Nostradamus, and the Book of Revelation. She also imagines how humanity's final hours might unfold, and considers whether anything can be done to head off a catastrophe of biblical proportions. The tone is earnest and speculative, suited to readers curious about prophecy and spirituality.
