These turbulent times test everyone, including people of faith. Christians who turn to the Bible for insight find that it speaks powerfully to the challenges they face today. Professor Colclasure invites us to look especially at the Book of Revelation.

"Rather than being intended to frighten and horrify us with its startling imagery," he writes, "the true purpose of the Book of Revelation is to provide hope, comfort, and encouragement to those who continue to trust in God." Professor Colclasure believes the Book of Revelation brings comfort to Christians engaged in life-or-death struggles. It calls everyone to follow Jesus of Nazareth through these daunting days--and darker days to come.
