About the Book
We stand at the brink of the culmination of history and the book of Revelation is the resource meant to inform and encourage faithful Christians about the events of the end-times that will intersect their lives, and to teach the spiritual lessons that are urgently needed to correct the church. Total Eclipse: Christ Returns is a fresh examination of Revelation that dispels myths and brings into the light events attending the second coming of Christ.

Here we examine the identity and ministry of God’s powerful witnesses, the identity and destruction of God’s enemy, and the nature of the eternal habitation of God with His people.
