It's called: How to Profit from the Coming Rapture (http://www.amazon.com/How-Profit-Coming-Rapture-Getting/dp/0316017302/thebookreport/)... a snarky, how-to manual about where and when to invest when the world comes to an end. Of course, I'm the only one in my Christ-like clan that will need this advice since the gays are guaranteed (along with the Jews!) to be left behind.  Speaking of Jews, Ellis Weiner and Barbara Davilman (http://www.profitfromthecomingrapture.com/content/index.asp), authors of the bestselling Yiddish with Dick and Jane, put this little investment gem together (may I call it a bible?). If you grew up in a church that thrived on "end times" storytelling, now is the time to finally profit from all those Sunday night altar calls. If you need me to explain what an "altar call" is, then you might not fully appreciate this book's humor. And it is classified as humor... at least according to the Library of Congress Cataloging system. My family is not laughing, but they are praying for me. Why?
