In this powerful new interpretation of the book of Revelation, the late, revered author and translator of The Message Bible offers timely insights into how we can lean into growth, not in spite of challenging times, but because of them.Insightful and inviting . . . This is Eugene at his pastoral best.-Rev. Dr. Glenn Packiam, associate senior pastor at New Life Church and author of Blessed Broken GivenThe book of Revelation is filled with angels and dragons, fantastic beasts and golden cities, bottomless pits and mysterious numbers. Its dramatic, sure-but what exactly does that have to do with the tests we face today?Actually, a lot.When the apostle John penned the book of Revelation, believers lived in a time of deception and injustice. But his message doesnt just reflect their cries for things to be made right; it reveals heavens perspective of the bigger picture.In this never-before-published work, Eugene H. Peterson traces the dramatic symbolism found in Johns letters to the seven churches, uncovering Christs instructions to these ancient communities. Along the way, encounter seven key tests, of our love, suffering, truth, holiness, reality, witness, and commitment, tests from Christ that can deepen our faith and even shape our future.This Hallelujah Banquet is your personal invitation to grow deep and begin living now in a generous, abundant, and hopeful reality in Christ.
