And it comes complete with a very distractable angel, Mercury, sent from heaven specifically to prepare for the end of the world.

I believe Kroese's series is self-pub, but I've read most or all of them, and have enjoyed all that I have read. They go on sale a lot...
I checked the Mercury series. To me they look closer to Gaiman and Pratchett's Good Omens.
