What people have said:
"John and Gloria Ben-Daniel battle courageously against the bias of modern "scientific" scholarship without tumbling into the pitfalls of a naïve, anti-historical, fundamentalism. This accessible and well-written book will appeal to all those who want to take a fresh glimpse at what lies beyond the immensely mysterious veil of the Book of Revelation".
Fr. Antoine Levy, OP, adjunct professor University of Helsinki/University of Eastern Finland.
"This work of John and Gloria Ben-Daniel is the fruit of a lifetime of prayer and study devoted to the understanding of the Book of the Revelation. I have found this introduction and approach very consistent and helpful, with nothing to envy in the works of more famous biblical scholars. It definitely contains many very good insights. I recommend it to everyone who wishes to deepen his knowledge of the Book of the Revelation".
Filippo Rossi, diocesan hermit, BST, Diocese of Jerusalem, Israel.
