LONGWOOD, FL-In the centuries following the writing of the book of Revelation, one of the Bible's most prophetic yet enigmatic books, many well-meaning interpreters have blurred and distorted its message by imposing their biased eschatologies upon it rather than allowing the text to tell its own exciting and encouraging story. In Robert L. Kramer's A Guided Tour Through the Revelation ($15.99, paperback, 978-1-60791-598-0), the Xulon Press author presents valid new insights from the Scriptures that give an exciting new perspective to the familiar themes of the second coming, the rapture, and the great tribulation. He also exposes some of the deceptions and errors that are popularly taught by the leading gurus of pretirbulationalism-all in the hope of presenting the clearest understanding possible of the message of the Revelation free of personal biases and predetermined meanings.
Says Kramer, "I hope the reader will get a clearer understanding of the future as God has predetermined it and will be encouraged by its optimism rather than the gloom and doom many prophecy teacher dwell upon. It is not simply a rehash of what so many other interpreters have written about this book."
The Pennsylvania-based author has been a pastor for 45 years in the Evangelical Congregational Church. Upon retirement from the pastorate, he was urged to share his teachings with the Christian community at large. To that end, he began to write and mail out a bi-monthly periodical, Second Thoughts, which he has done for 15 years. He also authored two other books through Xulon Press, What the Bible Really Says About That! and The Revelation and Are We There Yet? Throughout his prolific career as a writer, Kramer has kept himself busy doing exactly what he was urged to do-informing and educating fellow Christians about various Bible truths.
