Amazon reader review:“There’s a New World Coming” is an excellent verse by verse explanation of the book of Revelation. It is a must read for anyone who would like to know more about bible prophecy.

Americans who travel abroad for the first time are often shocked to discover that, despite all the progress that has been made in the last 30 years, many foreign people still speak in foreign languages.

While quoting Dave Barry is always an exercise in sheer comic bliss, here he has put his finger on something eternal, something existential, something irritatingly true.
