Kingdom Come

The Bible's most misunderstood book is really about spiritual discovery.

Author and minister Ed Townley has long engaged readers with insightful Scripture interpretations. A Bible enthusiast, he focuses on the metaphysical meanings, rather than the literal text with its varied translations. In Kingdom Come, Townley tackles his toughest task--the Book of Revelation. In 22 easy-to-follow steps, he approaches the Revelation not as an apocalyptic end-of-the-world prophecy, but as a personal, practical guide to spiritual growth. By looking beyond the Revelation's gloomy shadows, he reveals a positive message of creative possibility. The Kingdom, Townley explains, doesn't await us in the afterlife. It's ours to experience today, as we learn to find the good within even the darkest challenges.

Ed Townley has been a licensed and ordained Unity minister for more than 20 years, after an earlier career as an actor, director and playwright.
