This is a fantastic study guide to gain meaning and insight into what is, arguably, the most difficult book of the Bible. The guide is broken into 13 weeks, with six days of self study and a summary with questions for group study or self-reflection. I very much appreciated how this guide broken down the more confusing passages and provided cross references to other Bible prophecy to better understand what John was seeing in his vision.

I did not go through this guide as intended, but used each week for an in-depth study each night. I found I was able to get more out of each chapter of Revelation by reading each multiple times in one sitting, each with a different focus.

I can't say that I've unravelled all the mysteries of the book of Revelation (or that I ever will), but working through it slowly, using the inductive Bible study method, helps to make the book less intimidating. Plenty of its truths are crystal clear and can be taken to heart. The rest we take by faith, knowing some day all will be revealed and clarified.

Excellent study guide. I really appreciate that Kay’s studies are extremely Bible focused without added speculation. You read (usually at least three times over), you mark key words and phrases, you ponder what you read. I’ve found that this method helps me to see themes and observe things I would have missed if I were simply reading it like a novel — read, and then set down or move on. This is a STUDY. It’s not a commentary. I’m excited to pick up more of these booklets on other books of the Bible.

Side note: for word markings, I used Pinterest to look up inductive study markings, and found several very useful websites with compilations of word markings to make my bookmarks of key words.

I does make you look at what is really in the Book of Revelation. What is actually there is not necessarily what we have been taught over the years. Yes there is doom and gloom but more importantly - Revelation is a book of GRACE and LOVE. A LOVE letter from our creator. This book brings you to your own conclusions. This was the first Inductive Study I have done. A challenge to do but worth it once you get the hang of it. I look forward to doing other books of the BIBLE in this same series.

Friday morning Bible study book for '23-'24

In depth, eye opening study of Revelation but the best part of this was our discussion group:)

My third study of this book but probably one to remember most.

Basic, I like a little more in-depth study.

This is not a study style that works for me! I did enjoy her summaries at the end of each chapter.
