I've been through other Bible studies on the book of Revelation before and was able to develop a deeper understanding of the book. However upon reading REVELATION: GOD'S WORD..., I must say that it is the most thorough explanation of the book of Revelation that I have ever had. I like the way it takes you through the book verse by verse, explaining what they mean IN RELATION TO OTHER SCRIPTURES in the Bible; I like the way it relates to current event, so that we could be made aware of the signs of the time; and most of all I really appreciate the way that everything is explained so clearly and so simply for anybody to understand (with icons and timelines, etc). Daymond Duck makes it a fun read, so that those who usually shy away from Bible study can benefit from his approach -while learning the details about a very IMPORTANT book of the Bible.

I've recommended it to everybody I know who were seeking to get and in-depth understanding of Revelation, and have gone on to order THE BIBLE: GOD'S WORD FOR THE BIBLICALLY-INEPT.

This book is more than what it claims to be - for the biblically inept; it is suitable for anyone at any place in their spiritual walk.

If you are interested in coming away from a study of the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ with some God/Bible inspired convictions of your own, this book will help you. It does not hail any one denominational or interpretational view over another even though Mr. Duck's and his commentators' views are obvious. Mr. Duck is fairly unbias and presents views other than his own. He does not tout his own as the "only and right"or spend time persuading the reader to think as he does. Rather he presents enough supporting material (historical and current) that will help any serious student of the Word grasp a clearer understanding of this prophetic book. He also does a good job of relieving the fear that is usually associated with attempting to study this book with his very down to earth, yet reverent approach.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is seriously interested in studying the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ and feels inadequate, intimidated or overwhelmed at the thought of doing so.

The Biblically Inept books are a fine complement to your bible. I am so impressed with the Revelation and Life of Christ Biblically-Inept books that I intend to collect all of the Biblically-Inept books. I was so shaken about the Revelation book in the past it was one of my most hated books in the bible. When I got the Revelation Biblically-Inept book it had really open my eyes to things and that there was nothing scary or mind boggling about Revelation. After I got through reading the Revelation Biblically Inept book. I feel even more content, joyful about gods plan, and completely understand the book of revelation where it doesn't scare the day lights out of me, instead I rejoice in gods plans. Biblically-Inept are wonderful complementary study guides to your bible.

***This review would include the DANIEL work by the same author**

Revelation is, without a doubt, one of my sixty-six favorite Bible books to study! I've probably studied (and taught) this book more than any other, and there are very few Revelation commentaries I haven't used. This commentary though, is unique.

The author is dispensational, millennial, and pre-tribulational in his approach. Let's get that straight right now! If you're not, you might not fully 'appreciate' this work.

He cites many of finest authors on Revelation, and does not consider his work alone as the final authority. But unlike other commentaries, Duck includes a broad array of contemporary 'radio' type personalities such as J. Vernon McGee, Noah Hutchings, Jack Van Impe, and even a few Pentecostal experts as well.

This book is the easiest to read of any Revelation book I've ever studied, and includes very helpful references to the Old Testament. This author understands that the key to Revelation is in the Old Testament, and NOT in wild, personal speculation! Kudos, to you Dr. Duck!

If there is a weakness in this series, it might be the 'handwritten' timelines in the Appendix. They seem just a tad inferior in quality to the finely formated balance of the rest of the book.

One can get a wonderful and adequate grasp of Revelation using this book alone. However, the real meat of study here is in finding which of the many authors cited appeal to you most, and then checking out their full work on Revelation. This book serves up a sampling of the best in the field. Best of all, it seems to be readily available, and inexpensive 'used' on the Internet.

Revelation was written to be studied, as it tells us in its opening verses. Yet, Revelation comes last in Scripture; God assumes we've grasped the fist sixty-five books FIRST!

Dr. Duck's guide for the 'inept' will provide a great deal of help for those who only know Psalms, a few Proverbs, and '...the words of Jesus in red'! If you're not new to Revelation, this book is somewhat limited, but not a waste. Something always seems to pop up that you really hadn't thought of!

I look forward to the rest in this series. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

A Wonderful overview of the book of Revelation. Clear concise exposition with other viewpoints presented in an easy entertaining manner. Although I disagree with the interpretation of the 7 Churches, this is just an interprative element and does not detract from the solid clear exposition laid out by the author. Fully recommended for the inept as well as the able!

Takes the book of Revelation and explains it, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Offers commentary by leading authorities and compares to current events. Very thorough and understandable. Gives lots of food for thought.

Revelation is a very hard book to understand. Daymond Duck makes sense of it in this book. I spent 30 weeks in a Bible study of Revelation and this made it alot easier to do. I loved it.

I had difficulties understanding the Book of Revelation, but knew I was to read it by Christ's own command in Rev. 1:3. After picking up the book by Daymond Duck, I can now understand and do not become intimidated by the words in Revelation. The best part of Mr. Duck's book are the cross-references that encourage you to get into your Bible and see how in fact all 66 books of the Bible connect with each other.

This book really makes understanding the Bible easy. I actually understand things about Revelation that I thought I knew, but really didn't. I recommend this book to everyone - regardless of religion. The clever design is fun and inviting!

I have used this book as an adjunct to a study guide for the book of Revelation to teach a Sunday School class. The material is timely, easily understood, and the excerpts from other sources lend additional insight to an often difficult study.
