If you are looking for a helpful book on Revelation, I have been using a book entitled, “Come, Lord Jesus: A Study of Revelation” by Pastor Mark Braaten, who proposes that at its core, Revelation is about calling people to live faithfully. The format of the book is extremely helpful. He prints a passage from Revelation and then follows with an explanation. You can find it here on Augsburg Fortress’ website.
