A fresh look at the book of Revelation is provided by Dr. Shannon's most recent book. It is intended to encourage the general reader to become a student of one of the most important books in the Bible. It includes eight outstanding illustrations by animation artist, Ruth Elliott. The Introduction and Background sections lay the groundwork for a careful, informed reading of the book. In an explanation of the contents of Revelation many of the problems that the reader will encounter are clarified to lead to enjoyable reading and easier understanding. The process that led to the contents of the book was inductive study; not imposing pre-conceived concepts on Revelation, but taking care at every turn to present the message contained in the book as clearly as possible. As a result, it presents a different perspective on Revelation than that found in the fictional "Left Behind Series". Many of the warnings of Revelation are seen, not in a fatalistic sense, but as presenting the hope of redemption to those who will heed its message. Revelation begins in the first century with the early church, proceeds through history until the return of Christ, and warns of cataclysmic events prior to that return. It is essentially a book of hope for Christians that their Savior will be with them in whatever trials and difficulties are ahead, and that an absolutely glorious future awaits them in Christ's coming kingdom. It is a book of hope for the unbelieving, in that it warns of the consequences of persisting in unbelief and consistently affirms God's invitation to believe in him and drink of the waters that he generously offers.

<p>A teaching Angel with a wry sense of humor suddenly appears to Mary, a woman in dire straits and considering suicide. His appearance has been planned with his superiors and “buddies-in-training.” These Angels are a part of an immense core of Angels assigned to teaching on Earth during Earth’s time of need for drastic measures. Their plan is to branch out to Mary’s group of friends—all of whom are questioning, “What’s it all about?” and subconsciously asking for help. Through “coincidence” all of the group are brought together for the teaching. The story brings them all, individually, through their daily problems and helps to resolve their various dilemmas, while allowing them freedom of choice.</p>
