Eternity Now!: Encountering the Jesus of Revelation

By Peter Hiett

Book Overview

After avoiding the book of Revelation for years, pastor Peter Hiett discovered to his delight that this formidable book is really what it claims to be -- the actual revelation of Jesus Christ. Though its unequaled presentation of Jesus tragically gets lost in the maze of modern interpretations. In every age in every place, God uses this last book of the Bible to talk to the hearts of that generation about the hope, comfort and victory He has in store for all who choose to live and die for the Lamb. Hiett invites us to explore Revelation with him because in it we will find something truly revolutionary: that "Jesus is so much larger and better and kinder, and more gracious, glorious, and true than any of us ever imagined." You will be startled by the down-to-earth simplicity of this easy-to-read book. Peter Hiett talks our language, shares our experiences, and addresses our day-to-day concerns as he leads us through Revelation's strange visions. And on every page, he points us to the Light who shines in the darkness Now. Book jacket.

Make Sense of Revelation

There is much study material written on the Revelation . . . but Peter Hiett writes a very readable book that uncovers the meaning of John's words, while retaining the majesty and mystery. I'm not a big fan of the highly-fictionalized "Left Behind" series, but if you are, I would bet "Eternity Now!" would be a great counterpoint, revealing some questionable assumptions and presenting an alternative interpretation that, for me, better squares with the totality of Scripture. Don't miss the fact that Hiett gets a commendation from author Philip Yancey.

Amazing!

I started this book as a secondary source for teaching on revelation. Quickly it became the book that I would turn to find the "heart of God" in Revelation. It is a pastoral commentary that would greatly encourage ANY Christian.
