NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “In this exciting first of a new fantasy trilogy, bestseller Brooks effortlessly connects the Tolkien-infused magic of his Shannara books . . . with the urban, postapocalyptic world of his Word and the Void series. . . .

This latest contribution to the understanding of the Bible’s final book will be a welcomed addition to anyone’s personal library. The author is quick to admit that Revelation has many strange images and perplexing elements. However, he is just as quick to stress that these images and elements are not the focus. The Apostle John, in writing this apocalyptic volume, centers the attention on Jesus Christ, the only hope for those who have accepted Him as Lord and Savior, as well as those who still need to. Many people know Revelation for its striking, confusing symbolism. Many of these people would experience less confusion if they realized that most of these symbols are borrowed by the beloved disciple from other parts of the Bible. Manzano is faithful and responsible in allowing the Bible to interpret itself and establishing the Old Testament, especially the book of Daniel, as the foundation for decoding Revelation’s “mysteries.” As Bible prophecy continues to unfold, and this world continues to unravel like a cheap sweater, the frustration and turmoil that ensues will dissipate by the encouraging tone of this book. Readers are subsequently prompted to dive into Revelation and study afresh to reconnect with the Lamb/King around whom its messages revolve.

Basil Eliades may have travelled this world, but he has seen other worlds within it. Worlds of profound love, of incredible cities, inhabited by shamans, gods, where physics becomes elastic, where time travels uphill and humans are re-formed.

"The science is strong, but a test is only as good as the men carrying it out," was said by Valery Legasov in the Chernobyl Mini-series. The quote resonates with me, as do the words, "Art pieces are as formidable as the quality of work, people, and resources drawn to bring them to life." Motion pictures are among the most radical art forms, and their role as sources of entertainment on both small and big screens speaks volumes. For more than a century, people have been making movies, and this trend will continue as long as people exist. In Nigeria's Nollywood, much has been accomplished, and much more is awaited. Therefore, the need to caution, educate, and take bold steps is greatly warranted. Nollywood's Path To Ascension (NPTA) aims to provide practical guidance and steps to reach the zenith.
