Of all the sixty-six books that comprise our Bible, the last book is meant to thrill and exhilarate the believer like none other. A beautiful Christ is unveiled while a company of overcoming saints is seen rising into the fullness of Christ. The book of Revelation is exciting, powerful, and dynamic. But it must be more to us than merely an unveiling of events to come. Revelation must be an experience of encountering the living Christ. God is ready to unveil this book to those who are ready to receive it, eat it, and live fully in the splendor of Christ. The unveiling is more than a vision given to John, but is also meant to be an inward discovery, a delightful unveiling within you. This is not a drama of Satan’s worst, but a supernatural drama of God’s best, pouring through his beautiful Son, Jesus Christ.

Encounter the heart of God! The word is not just dead letters; it is the living expression of God, Jesus Christ. The word came with skin on as the perfect man and the living manifestation of the glory of God. The Gospel of John is all about this beautiful Christ and believing! This book reveals that Jesus Christ is the light of the world, the savior, the king, the true anointed one, the living bread, and the loving shepherd. Matthew, Mark, and Luke give us the history of Christ, but John writes to unveil the mystery of Christ.

Stuck in a spiritual wilderness, it can be easy to forget that God remains the God of overcomers. The power and victory present in the Old Testament still exist for Christians today.

God has given the world a treasure with the gospel of Mark. As God’s servant, we find Jesus healing, teaching, and working wonders throughout this beautiful gospel. Mark records nearly three times as many miracles as parables. As the briefest of the four gospels, you’ll enjoy hearing of Jesus’ supreme power over both the invisible and visible worlds.

The book of Jeremiah shares a detailed, personal narrative of Judah’s capture and exile. Jeremiah’s heart broke for his people as he prophesied and suffered alongside them, but his tearful warnings of judgment are pierced by soaring promises of a new heart and a beautiful future. The book of Lamentations is the deeply poetic cry of the Weeping Prophet after the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple. It provides a prayerful and liturgical framework to mourn loss, voice grief, and confess sin while still hoping in God’s ever-present mercy and forgiveness.

We are destined for glory. Through the stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, we discover the Creator’s deep longing for connection with every nation, tribe, and tongue. Brian and Candice Simmons continue their in-depth study of the Book of Genesis in this second volume, covering chapters 12 through 35.
