I personally consider the book of Revelation to be my favorite book of the Bible. Ever since I first discovered the Left Behind series, I have been hooked on studying Bible prophecies. And A Confident Peace by Dr. Mark Becton is a very good book on this great book.
Rather than merely looking at prophecies for the purpose of seeing their meaning, Dr. Becton looks at the book of Revelation as a book intended for application. His subtitle even shows this: Letting Revelation Change the Way You Live. And what's the premise of this? How can we allow this book change our lives? Dr. Becton shows this in his statement of what Revelation's purpose is: it "is God's message of hope to those who now suffer because of their surrender to Christ (20)."
Through this book, Dr. Becton's approach to studying Revelation shows something that we can all learn from. Revelation is an amazing book with many personal applications. I highly recommend this book for those who are looking to learn more about how to live now in the light of what is coming. I give this book 4.5 stars out of 5.
