  <default_description>It's the dawn of the Great Tribulation, &quot;the bloodiest season in the  history of the world.&quot; After lying in state for three days, Nicolae Carpathia  has risen from the dead. As the world responds in awe, statues of the potentate  and &quot;god&quot; are erected in every major city, and a new religion, &quot;Carpathianism,&quot;  is in full swing. Followers of the antichrist are branded with a loyalty mark on  their right hands or their foreheads, and &quot;vaccinated&quot; with a biochip embedded  with personal information. Those who refuse the mark take a one-way trip to the  guillotine. The second coming of Christ is only three-and-one-half years away.  But can the Tribulation Force hang on?&lt;p&gt;   &quot;The God who calls you to the ultimate sacrifice will also give you the power to  endure it. No one can receive the mark of the beast by accident. It is a once-and-for-all decision that will forever condemn you to eternity without God,&quot; writes  Tsion Ben-Judah in his daily newsletter with its cyberaudience of more than a  billion. Heavenly power may be the only hope for the Tribulation Force, as it  struggles to survive amidst new terrors, the death of more loved ones, and some  unexpected twists in its plans.&lt;p&gt;  &lt;I&gt;The Mark: The Beast Rules the World&lt;/I&gt; is the eighth installment in the  blockbuster Left Behind series. Rich in dialogue, this action-packed thriller  delivers the same consistent mix of apocalyptic mayhem and quirky humor readers  have come to expect from the pen of Jerry Jenkins and the prophetic  interpretations of Tim LaHaye. &lt;I&gt;--Cindy Crosby&lt;/I&gt;</default_description>

I laughed, cried, fumed, and shouted--all positive things--but I want to temper that strongly by saying that I wouldn't suggest it as theological or eschatological material, as some have.
