• Book Review: End Times and 1000 Years of Peace

  In the last four years, I have read Revelations three times and unfortunately did not get much for my effort. Thankfully, this book came to my attention via youtube video interview.

The content is detailed with MANY footnotes. Excellent questions are posed. The content is absolutely relevant to matters that influence “these days and times” at home and abroad. […]
