Excellent book! Listened to the audio and had to go straight through as I was reading it as preparation for a talk in church. Will definitely want to go back and re read when I have more time to listen and I have my book of Revelation open and ready to add notes to my scriptures. Many insights are given into understanding the book of Revelation but doesn't go into all the minute details. Loved how it shared enough insight to help you understand but then show application meaning to your everyday life. Loved the applications presented in each chapter as self-checks and lists of things to do or improve upon.

This book was essentially an LDS seminary lesson on the Book of Revelation. That being said, it had so many practical applications found directly in the scriptures amongst the dragons and stars and other deep symbolic imagery found in Revelations. I found it really helped me personally to assess where I am at in my own spiritual growth. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more personal applications from the scriptures

I enjoyed this book immensely and appreciated that the author did not try to explain the Book of Revelation verse by verse. There are great insights to each chapter that sets up the reader to successfully continue study of John’s writings. I recommend this book to anyone that feels intimidated by the Book of Revelation and has a sincere desire to explore its wonderful promises and relevance to our lives today.

The Book of Revelation can seem overwhelming and I enjoyed how Richards broke down the chapters and made it relatable to me. At the end of each chapter there was a challenge and check point which I enjoyed.

This book was a good summary of the events in the Book of Revelation, as well as a reader's guide to preparing for the Second Coming.
