Description: Many voices speaking today about the end times sound a lot like Chicken Little: they prophesy doom and destruction, the Antichrist and Armageddon. All this apocalyptic speculation creates an atmosphere of sensationalism and dread--but the Revelation of Jesus to John was meant to bring hope. Too many Christians have become hesitant to study this book of the Bible because of the confusion that surrounds it. But as an experienced pastor, Dan Boone affirms that any child of God can read and understand the truth of Revelation. His friendly, conversational style brings the message of Revelation into the idiom of life in our contemporary world. This book will help readers understand: The context of the Revelation and what it meant to the churches of that day The characteristics of apocalyptic and prophetic literature and how they are meant to be read The application that this important book of the Bible holds for our lives today Answers for Chicken Little gives a responsible interpretation of Revelation that replaces predictions of doom with a compelling vision of who Jesus is and of His message about living as a redeemed people with hope for the future.

Review Summary: Fantastic Teaching Tool
Date: 2007-11-03
Details: "Answers for Chicken Little" is probably the best study on Revelation I have ever read. Dan Boone approaches "The Revelation of Jesus to John" as the beautiful continuation of the story of God's relationship with the human race. He does not try to squeeze 21st century situations into the ancient writing, but he does affirm that the story found there is also our story. In "Answers for Chicken Little," you will find an easy-to-read, very understandable approach to what many consider scripture's most difficult text. Happy reading!

Review Summary: Helped my understanding
Date: 2007-01-29
Details: I have always been a bit curious about the last book of the Bible, but understanding it always eluded me. The book was recommended to me by a member of my church, and I feel like I finally understand! It breaks down different parts of scripture, explains how Revelation is an example of apocalyptic literature, and it's helped me understand this book of the Bible rather than be intimidated by it.
