Blessed: Experiencing the Promise of the Book of Revelation

An Understandable and Reliable Guide to Revelation Blessed, by bestselling author and speaker Nancy Guthrie, provides individuals and small groups a friendly yet theologically robust guide to understanding the book of Revelation. Over 12 chapters, Blessed covers the full text of the book of Revelation, exploring its call to patient endurance as Gods sovereign plans for judgment and salvation are worked out in the world. In this book, Guthrie shows how Revelation is less about when Jesus will return and more about who we are to be, what we are to do, and what we can expect to endure as we wait for Jesus to return to establish his kingdom in the new creation.
