"Revelation, The Personal Message" is a Bible Study presented from a fresh new perspective for discerning Christians. It explains the sequence of events that will take place before the return of Christ and how those events will impact the church, while emphasizing the need for a personal relationship with Christ Jesus through the presence of the Holy Spirit.

It is designed to increase knowledge of scripture and personal growth by means of individual or group study with a format that is easy to follow. The structure of the study lists the successive verses of Revelation along the left margin with corresponding scripture identified along the right margin. Key words are emphasized in bold print, followed by definitions and commentary. Every chapter includes a summary and some thought provoking questions. Revelation is not written in linear sequence. Large segments of the text deal with descriptions of people and the influence they exerci
