Revelations from the Revelation of Jesus Christ Chapters 1-3: A Commentary for the Believer in the Pew
AUTHOR’S PREFACE
For the believer in the pew, the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ needs no other introduction than that it is the most avoided Book of Scripture that few feel capable of navigating and understanding on their own. The dense amount of imagery and the horrific scenes of judgment are mind-boggling and remain a mystery for many.
The purpose of Revelations from the Revelation of Jesus Christ is to empower you – the believer in the pew – with the most accessible tool to navigate and understand this last Book of Scripture, and that tool is the Bible itself, the Bible in your hand! You see, the God Who is speaking and acting in this last Book of Scripture has been speaking and acting throughout the Biblical text (cf. Hebrews1:1-2). It is God’s intent, therefore, that you understand this last Book of Scripture just as He intended for you to understand all Scripture! The Revelations in this last Book were not hidden from you but for you to discover through diligent study.
Let this volume be your entrance into the awe-inspiring zone of discovering and re-discovering the majesty and the consistency of the only God Who is worthy to be trusted and obeyed, worshipped, and adored.
The book cover depicts the Throne Room in Heaven, where the One seated in the middle is JESUS, the Light of the world, and those surrounding Him in heaven are imbued with His Eternal Light.

Testimonials from Believers in the Pew
These believers in the pew were part of the seven-year, weekly Bible study on the Book of the Revelation at Shiloh Baptist Church.
“I thought I would never be able to understand this book, but now I can see how the same God who was speaking before is saying the same thing in this book, just on a more graphic scale.”
“I love it when we trace a biblical concept from first mention to the Revelation. It makes the Bible seem more connected and less daunting to navigate.”
“It was exhilarating to come to a revelation in class and to see that the revelation didn’t always have to come from or through the teacher but could come from one of us students. This was a first for me and the turning of the corner in my understanding of the Holy Spirit’s ministry in revealing truth.”

These leaders read, Revelations from the Revelation of Jesus Christ Chapters 1-3: A Commentary for the Believer in the Pew.
“If you are a believer, who has avoided reading the important Book of Revelation, because of its strange symbols and imagery, this compelling new book is a Godsend. Rev. Grogan uses clear, precise prose to reveal a sound approach to understanding not only the final book in the Bible, but she opens up the whole Bible, using, and showing the reader how to use a tool called “plenary inspiration.” This tool directs the reader to compare the word(s) found in the text under consideration with other places in Scripture where the same words are used. With her rich knowledge of the original Biblical languages, Rev. Grogan provides the truest context for letting the Bible interpret itself. This read will be my go-to guide for many years to come. Revelations from The Revelation of Jesus Christ is destined to become a classic in its field.” – Carl E. Snead, Esq.
“Rev. Desiré P. Grogan, in her book Revelations from the Revelation of Jesus Christ, evokes in the “believer in the pew” a heart full of gratitude. The clearly articulated overview, scriptural exploration, and interpretation of the original text expertly reveal God’s ultimate plan for His faithful servants, as articulated in John’s Revelation. This in-depth study of “the messages to the church in every generation” educates the reader through the “revelation knowledge” entrusted to the author. Using scripture to explain scripture, Rev. Grogan guides the reader to an enhanced understanding of Jesus’ reign as the ultimate judge, while yet inspiring one to live a faithful, obedient life of “patient endurance.” A must-read for any Christian wanting to fully comprehend the Revelation text.” – Deacon Janice Carter-Bowden
“Rev. Desiré P. Grogan’s gifts of interpretation and teaching combine to make Revelations from The Revelation of Jesus Christ – Chapters 1 – 3: A Commentary for the Believer in the Pew, a well-researched and comprehensive look at chapters in the final book of the bible. It provides her identified readership, the believer in the pew, with in-depth meaning of these first three chapters of Revelation. For many the book of Revelation has long been thought of as the most challenging and darkest book in the bible. Rev. Grogan’s passion for teaching Revelation and her clear and expressive writing provide clarity and light. It is that combination of clarity and light that makes this book accessible to the reader. It is also why I enthusiastically recommend Rev. Desiré P. Grogan’s Revelations from The Revelation of Jesus Christ – Chapters 1 – 3: A Commentary for the Believer in the Pew.” – Dr. Sandra Jowers-Barber
