Racing toward 2001

the long version

Earth-shaking trends of the 21st Century are shaping America's religious future. But spiritual forces can also bend the trends. Every rip of the calendar brings us closer to 2001. Powerful forces that will affect virtually every aspect of your life are already in motion. Yet most Americans are unaware that they can deflect and direct these massive changes. Award-winning journalist Russell Chandler looks at the power of religion and tells the ordinary person how to get ready for the coming millennium. Now. In fast-moving style, the author assesses: perils ahead in technology, education, media, and the arts; future challenges in medicine and genetics; forecasts for politics and the economy; upcoming upheavals in families, life-styles, and employment; and the surprising shift to non-traditional religions.
