Seventh-day Adventism
The Seventh-day Adventist church traces its roots to** American preacher William Miller** (1782–1849), a** Baptist** who** predicted** the** Second Coming** would occur between March 21, 1843, and March 21, 1844. Because he and his followers** proclaimed** Christ’s** imminent** advent, they were known as "Adventists."

In addition to the above link, there’s quite a bit** of Catholic Answers material at this link as well …

Also, Seventh Day Adventists officially support abortion:

Abortions for reasons of birth control, gender selection, or convenience are not condoned by the Church.** Women, at times however, may face exceptional circumstances** that present serious moral or medical dilemmas, such as significant threats to the pregnant woman’s life, serious jeopardy to her health, severe congenital defects carefully diagnosed in the fetus, and pregnancy resulting from rape or incest. The final decision whether to terminate the pregnancy or not should be made by the pregnant woman after appropriate consultation. She should be aided in her decision by accurate information, biblical principles, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Moreover, these decisions are best made within the context of healthy family relationships.

There’s a section in the Essential Catholic Survival Guide on SDAs, which consists of this tract: catholic.com/tracts/seventh-day-adventism

I don’t know of any particular books on the subject, however.
