Dr. Parks has written a wonderful book for teens -- or adults -- to read on their own or use as part of a Bible study or Sunday-school class. He has brought clarity to a book that daunts many and has brought many who "read the back of the book first" to grief.He brings this clarity to the Book of Revelation by breaking it down into brief explanations of each chapter, clarifications of terms, pictures of Christ, points for personal application, and topics for discussion. He speaks directly to the reader without speaking down to the reader, so that you can read the book straight through, or sample each chapter, with both pleasure and enlightenment.Dr. Parks teaches the Book of Revelation from the viewpoint that the Rapture occurs before the Tribulation, and the Second Coming of Christ after it. In teaching this viewpoint, he has avoided the pitfalls of "date-setting" and tying the book into trendy, sensationalistic "current events." In fact, he clearly points out all of these pitfalls to the reader, so that whoever reads his book can avoid them, too. To keep the reader centered on what God truly wants of us, Dr. Parks clearly shows how the Book of Revelation goes back to the earlier books of the Bible, and above all to the life of Christ.Dr. Park's book is solid and reliable because he understands that the Book of Revelation isn't "The Revelation of St. John the Divine." Still less is it "The Revelation of the Beast and the False Prophet," though sensationalizers concentrate on these figures to the loss of many other important truths. Instead, Dr. Parks understands that The Book of Revelation is "The Revelation of Jesus Christ." By keeping his focus on our Savior and Lord, Dr. Parks has ensured that he added nothing to the book, nor left nothing out of it. He has heeded the call of seekers of truth through the ages: "Sirs, we would see Jesus."

Just give you enough background to enjoy the preview of the Second Coming of Jesus without either scaring-or boring-you to death?Dragons, Grasshoppers, & Frogs! is what you've been waiting for! This book will take you through Revelation in a brief but thorough style. And you don't have to be a teenager to enjoy it!

What a great idea! I am very happy to learn of your new book for teenagers and new Christians! No doubt there will be many parents, Sunday School teachers, as well as new and old believers who will be grateful for this very readable teaching material on the book of Revelation. Thank you!
Yesterday I finally got around to the book you so graciously sent me last December. I started reading it last night, and I could not put it down! I was shouting, "Hallelujah," by the end of the very first chapter!I am now about half way through the book, and I can hardly wait to finish it. Congratulations on a first rate job!
It is written at a level that younger kids (tweens) and older can understand the symbolism in the book of Revelation. The kids find it interesting and it has helpful deep thoughts to use as a discussion guide. Not sure I believe everything Jerry says, but again this is an excellent start for a study of Revelation if you are doing it with your kids.
I was always afraid of Revelation. But when my Sunday School class decided to study it, we realized there aren't many SIMPLE books available for those of us who just want to know what it means minus all the jargon and a hundred points of view.I came across this book online, but didn't recognize from the title that it was on Revelation. Guess that pretty much shows you how much I knew about the last Book in the Bible, huh?Anyhow, when I noticed how small it was, and that it was written for teenagers (I'm not one, but my understanding is), I decided to give this book a try.Let me say that this wonderful little book is perfect for people like me. Every passage in Revelation is explained very simply using the Old Testament to give a sound and solid interpretation.Every chapter is broken down into 'bite-size' sections explaining the key: words, themes, focus on Jesus, and lessons to take with you. The focus on Jesus sections are alone worth what I paid for the book! Wonderful! Even the hard words are explained very simply, and everything is tied into what's going on in the world today. My favorite chapter has to be 'One Cool Kingdom to Come'. I had never considered what the world would be like after the Second Coming.Let me say that if you want a very simple, very complete, and up to date explanation of the Book of Revelation, that a teenager, new Christian, or mature adult who is just studying the Book can understand, "Dragons, Grasshoppers & Frogs!" is absolutely perfect. You can read it through in a couple of hours, but you will find yourself thinking about what it says for a long, long time.
