Fantastic Teaching Tool

"Answers for Chicken Little" is probably the best study on Revelation I have ever read. Dan Boone approaches "The Revelation of Jesus to John" as the beautiful continuation of the story of God's relationship with the human race. He does not try to squeeze 21st century situations into the ancient writing, but he does affirm that the story found there is also our story. In "Answers for Chicken Little," you will find an easy-to-read, very understandable approach to what many consider scripture's most difficult text. Happy reading!

Helped my understanding

I have always been a bit curious about the last book of the Bible, but understanding it always eluded me. The book was recommended to me by a member of my church, and I feel like I finally understand! It breaks down different parts of scripture, explains how Revelation is an example of apocalyptic literature, and it's helped me understand this book of the Bible rather than be intimidated by it.
