Through the unique format of this text, David has given the answers to nearly six hundred questions that have plagued many regarding the book of Revelation. The product of his work is a book that addresses these concerns and amplifies the need for one to have a personal relationship with God. The following is just a sample.

If Babylon was destroyed by the Persians, how can it be destroyed again?

How important are truth and justice today?

But what is justice when it comes to God and us?

Just what does it mean to fear God?

Exactly who are the beast and false prophet?

When one thinks of heaven, what is the picture that comes to mind?

How many people can heaven hold?

If over 2,000 years have passed without Christ's return, what assurance is there that He will return?

Chris LeDoux was a rodeo icon, known for his ability to ride bareback horses and a world championship. But Chris also had a talent with a guitar and an ability to put the life and thoughts of a rodeo cowboy into song. With the help of his family Chris started selling audio-cassettes out of his rigging bag at rodeos, just as a way to help pay his way down the road. Little did he or anyone else know that after he hung up his bareback rigging and stowed the rigging bag, that he would become a country music sensation, "Gold Buckle Dreams: The Life and Times of Chris LeDoux" tells not only of Chris's life growing up and on into rodeo, but is has been expanded to include his life after rodeo. Although Chris LeDoux and his music had a big following in rodeo, it was not until Garth Brooks mentioned LeDoux in a song, that the rest of the world discovered the man. When his career ended in rodeo, LeDoux found a second round of fame in the music world, where he gained an international following. Unfortunately his life ended prematurely, the legend and music of Chris LeDoux live on.

Finally, a book that breaks through 100 years of myths surrounding the sinking of RMS Titanic to reveal that the ship was deliberately turned toward the iceberg, the damage was not necessarily fatal, and human error in a boiler room ultimately sank the ship. These are the startling conclusions of Captain David G. Brown, a licensed master mariner. Using a school bus analogy, he explains why historians have been blinded to the true nature of the accident and its consequences.

While the study deals with an essentially technical subject, Brown's analysis is cast in language that is readily understandable to nonspecialists. Written primarily for labor economists, this book should also interest all members of the academic community.
