The Book of Revelation, Illustrated Lavishly...

The Book of Revelation: Translated Literally, Illustrated Lavishly, Interrogated Thoroughly... J. Colannino, B.S.Ch.E., M.S.K.M., P.E.

Thanks to your generous donations, I have successfully published my latest work: The Book of Revelation, Translated Literally, Illustrated Lavishly, Interrogated Thoroughly

WHO BENEFITS? (The body of Christ and the general public)
For more than thirty years I have searched for a book like this.  Since it didn’t exist, I have spent the last 24 months creating it.  I am aware of no other book that examines Revelation verse by verse and answers every logical question the text prompts.   I have designed this book to be the most beautiful and comprehensive book ever written on the book of Revelation to serve the body of Christ and all those interested in understanding it.

WHAT ARE THE FUNDS BE USED FOR? (To publish this book in print form)
The text is complete and runs about 230,000 words (550 pages).  The book also contains over 350 footnotes and more than 50 tables and sidebars for those seeking a deeper understanding.  True to its title, this book translates every word from the original Greek corpus, interrogates it with more than 800 detailed questions and answers and will be illustrated with more than 25 figures and 50 original watercolor illustrations.

A full-color book like this is expensive to produce.  Thanks to your donations, I have now worked with the publisher to reduce the retail cost to $120 per volume.  With more donations I will work to reduce the retail price even further and so I have created this GoFundMe site.

I will take donations in any amount.  However, for all those who donate $30 or more, I will send a complete electronic copy.  This is not a typical e-book, but a full color pdf formatted identically to the print version, page for page.  For those willing to donate $120 or more, I will send you an autographed physical copy of the book, in addition to the complete e-book.  If you donate $250 or more or more, I'll send you nine (9) giclée prints suitable for framing (six measure 12" x 12" and three measure 9" x 12").  These beautiful prints are printed with archival ink and look and feel like the original watercolors.  And you'll help subsidize the cost of this book for others that can't afford it.   But I can't do any of this without your help.

WHAT THIS SUPPORT MEANS TO ME
It has been a great honor to serve Christ in this way.  I have been richly rewarded beyond measure for my efforts and I can feel His pleasure in my work.  But your support will allow me to disseminate a scholarly work to the body of Christ at large.  Yes, I believe that this book will appeal to the scholar, but I also genuinely believe that the lay person will find it accessible.  I know that this is a broad claim, but I have taught at the university level as an adjunct professor to undergraduates and I know what one may reasonably expect of a person of sound mind in an area of his genuine interest.  And the book of Revelation has piqued interest like no other book of the Bible.  In terms of the look and feel, I will produce a large beautifully bound book accompanied by an e-book in various editions (Kindle, iBooks, etc.).  

IN GRATITUDE
I am especially grateful to all those who have found their way to this page and will prayerfully consider donating to this project.  As my way of saying thank you for your consideration, I am providing a link in pdf format including: 1.) front matter with foreword; 2.) a detailed and annotated Table of Contents; 3.) selected chapter excerpts.  You need donate nothing to access these links. It is my way of saying thanks for keeping me and this work in your prayers.
