"The Book of Revelation is the book for the present hour. There is a special blessing promised to those who read it and to those who hear it and treasure the truth that God has seen fit to give us.

With these words Donald Barnhouse begins this helpful devotional commentary on the New Testament book that puzzles so many. The hallmark of this commentary is its applicability to Christian living and not simply its clear explanation of the text.

The late Donald Grey Barnhouse, for many years pastor of Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, was the founder of the Evangelical Foundation (now Evangelical Ministries), the radio voice of the Bible Study Hour, and Editor of Eternity magazine. Dr. Barnhouse was renowned as a Bible expositor and teacher and was recognized as one of America's great preachers and conference speakers. He had a gift for clarity and relevance in his teaching of the Bible. In addition to various commentaries he is well-known for his book, The Invisible War, an exploration of the ongoing conflict between good and evil and the realities of the spiritual realm.
