QUEENSLAND, Australia, April 9, 2009 — As the Rapture Index — that is, the Dow Jones for "end-times activities" — of the World Wide Web continues its energetic climb in 2009, there is no doubt many religious followers are giving some extra reckoning to the day of reckoning. In Paul Howell's new book, "Babylon the Great," the author explores a not-too-distant future where the Roman Catholic Church is responsible for the deception and damnation of the world.
In the book, Howell applies his detailed research of theology and the end-time prophecies involving the Roman Catholic Church to a winding narrative of truth set against the striking backdrop of Australia. By examining the "woman riding the beast" and the activities of the false prophet from the Bible's Book of Revelation, chapter 17, "Babylon the Great" provides a timely, clearer perception of the last days.
"The general public has an insatiable curiosity when it comes to scandals and cover-ups in the Roman Catholic Church," explains Howell, a former member of the Catholic faith. "My novel deals with a cover-up of the greatest magnitude, with the most devastating consequences and with the most credible basis for the storyline: The prophecies of the Bible itself. Once I had made the break from Catholicism, I was able to look at the Roman Catholic Church more objectively and was able to easily discern where the Church has strayed from the teachings of God's word."
