Longtime Remnant listeners have heard us talking about "Rowntree's Revelation book" for years. It's finally (almost) here.
It took six years to write. Rowntree is a full-time pastor, part-time podcaster, and by his own admission, a no-time author – so he made it a goal to simply show up and type for twenty minutes a day. Everest gets conquered one step at a time.
Here's why this book matters. Revelation is the one book of the Bible most Christians either obsess over or avoid entirely. It's complicated. It's strange. It gets misused. But Revelation isn't a puzzle to solve or a threat to fear – it's the book every other book in Scripture is pointing toward. That's the whole premise behind the title. The World Made Right walks through Revelation chapter by chapter, drawing on serious scholarship while writing for everyday believers, not just seminarians. And because Revelation itself is a story – a cosmic one – Rowntree weaves in his own story throughout, showing how God's story and ours actually intersect.
The book carries endorsements from a wide range of pastors, scholars, and podcasters: Matt Chandler, Craig Keener, Gavin Ortlund, Kim Riddlebarger, Becket Cook, Ruslan Karaoglanov, Jon Moffitt, Jeff Wells, Tania Harris, Jim Essian, and Dustin Aguilar. Readers have called it "highly readable," "a real page-turner," and praised its blend of theological depth and vivid storytelling.
If you'd rather listen than read, good news – the audiobook is narrated in Rowntree's own voice.
