Dialogues on Revelation with John the Apostle presents an imagined dialogue between the author and John the apostle, who just received a revelation from the Lord Jesus. Is it possible to know what John might have answered to some of our questions about the book of Revelation? It is possible since we have John's Gospel, three of his epistles, and the Old and New Testaments. Would we receive the answers from John that we hope for or expect? Would we want more answers or different answers? I don't doubt that this will be the case, for, as the apostle Paul exclaims, "Oh the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!" (Romans 11.33). Yann Opsitch addresses how the book of Revelation can help us view things from the perspective of eternity and of heaven. The heavenly perspective shown to John is one full of expectation and hope. However, the earthly perspective is often one of pain and struggle. John himself was exiled on Patmos and wrote to the churches in Asia who were undergoing difficulties both internal and external. He writes that he is their "partner in the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus" and who "was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus" (Revelation 1.9). The book contains 21 chapters, including "Fear Not," "The Son of Man," "A Door to Heaven," "The Great Tribulation," "The Mark of the Beast," "Armageddon," and "The Water of Life."

Scarlett had learned to keep her head down early in life. Zoey, her older sister had always taken the reins, even when it came to helping their mother recover after their father had stolen everything and run off with a woman half his age, leaving the three of them with only their clothes on their backs and Zoey and Scarlett's measly inheritance. She'd been behind her sister one-hundred-percent in investing into River Camps. It had only taken one look at the sexy Levi to convince her that this was where she'd wanted to be. Levi has been raised by his grandmother, and has searched high and low for the best job around the home she refuses to leave. When he'd learned that River Camps was opening back up, he jumped at the chance to stick close to his ailing grandmother and utilize all his outdoor skills that he loves. But, he hadn't expected falling so hard for the beautiful and very soft Scarlett.

The monk Tangseng and his three disciples are nearing the end of their epic journey. They approach Thunderclap Monastery in India, the home of Tathagata Buddha. But Tangseng's ordeals are not over yet. First, the travelers are mistaken for murderers and thieves and must talk their way out of jail with some help from Sun Wukong's body-changing magic. When they finally arrive at the home of the Buddha, Tangseng asks for the holy scriptures which he plans to bring back to China. But it turns out that he has only endured eighty trials, one fewer than the 81 that are required of him.
