description: Are you rapture ready? As a teenager in the buckle of the Bible Belt Zack Hunt was convinced the rapture would happen at any moment. Being ready meant never missing church never sinning and always listening to Christian radio. But when the rapture didn't happen Hunt s tightly wound faith began to fray. If he had been wrong about the rapture what else about his faith might not hold water? Part memoir part tour of the apocalypse and part call to action Unraptured traces how the church s focus on escaping to heaven has it mired in decay. Teetering on the brink of irrelevancy in a world rocked by refugee crises climate change war and rumors of war the church cannot afford to focus on the end times instead of following Jesus in the here and now. Unraptured uses these signs of the times to help readers reorient their understanding of the gospel around loving and caring for the least of these.
