Top Highlights

“ For whatever is done, great or small, it is rendered as unto the Lord; the deed becomes an act of worship.” (Page 66)

“More personally, they disclose the proper response of created beings to the glory of God. Worship is the essence: not the giddy, sentimental feelings of nostalgia seen in much modern expression, but the real stuff of devotion—the kind of intelligent love that offers itself to God as a sacrifice of thanksgiving.” (Page 17)

“By saying amen, one not only expressed agreement with the statement of another, but also made it binding on himself” (Page 89)

“From the standpoint of using Scripture to explain Scripture, the Apocalypse is surely the capstone of the Bible.” (Page 24)

“This is really what worship is—the adoring response of the creature to the infinite majesty of God.” (Page 58)

Praise for the Print Edition

As a plain man’s introduction to the book of Revelation, and also to the life of grace and the power of praise, Singing with the Angels could hardly be bettered; it is superb. Take it as a tonic; it will give your heart wings.

—J.I. Packer, Board of Governors Professor of Theology, Regent College

Few people have helped the ordinary Christian reader to join in the praise around the throne of heaven as much as Robert Coleman. . . . A joyous invitation to read the Apocalypse with your head bowed and your heart singing.

—D.A. Carson, research professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
