Review of Dawn of revelation the book that Jesus wrote
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Dawn of revelation the book that Jesus wrote" by Robert J. Pollick.]
Robert J. Pollick’s Dawn of Revelation the book that Jesus Wrote summarizes the purpose of the final book in the Holy Bible. Pollick’s exegesis of Revelation focuses on what Jesus did to redeem the state of fallen man and why he did it. This author says that the Bible is the only resource used in the preparation of this book. Otherwise, he shares his personal viewpoints and experiences.
In the first chapter, Pollick offers a brief overview of the first three chapters of Revelation. He explains that John and Jesus were friends, John having been one of the apostles who had followed Jesus’ ministry. Jesus appears to John, telling him to write down everything he sees. Jesus also tells John that he will experience the past, the present, and the future. Moving on to the next two chapters of Revelation, Pollick lists the seven churches of Revelation along with the directives Jesus gave to each of them. Without providing further discourse on individual churches and their instructions, the author offers a succinct summary, which he applies to contemporary churches. He composes his focal point in this statement:
“One of the problems today is that the church has become a worldly business instead of being about the Father’s business,” (Pollick, 2024, p. 17).
This is one of Pollick's personal stories that I find frightening and inspirational. As a young minister, Pollick feels God leading him to enter a local high school during a violent race riot. Six tall young men surround him, demanding to know why he is there. Pollick answers that he is a pastor. He explains that God is the only solution to their problem. Menacingly, they close in, giving him exactly one minute to prove to them that God exists. What could Pollick say in one minute to convince six angry young men to believe in God? What could he do? What did he do? Get your copy of this riveting book today to learn how much can happen in a single minute.
I like Pollick’s straightforward style of writing very much. He dispenses with rhetoric and theological jargon, writing instead so that laypeople can understand. He uses a variety of sentence styles and lengths, maintaining a rhythm to his narrative that flows well. Bible verses are framed and set in italics. This provides helpful visual cues that distinguish quotations and break up blocks of text.
Unfortunately, I found several editorial errors. The list of names at the end of the book, for example, needs reformatting to distinguish individual names. This book deserves another round of professional editing, which would produce a more polished version of the author’s thoughtful composition. For this reason, I reluctantly deduct one star.
The author makes it clear that this book is based upon the Christian Bible, with copious scriptural references and quotes. I recommend it to adults and teens who enjoy reading Christian literature. Because this book is thought-provoking and easy to read, I am happy to give it 4 out of 5 stars.
