"For those who want to see how much thought, reflection, and insight can be gained from intensely studying just one chapter from the Bible and linking it with studying the rest of the Bible, this book may be worth checking out. You may not agree with all everything that the author says, but it will certainly get you thinking and you won't look at Bible prophecies and analogies in quite the same way again."

Written with humility and an honest attempt to further explain the book of Revelation, these pages unveil some mysteries while focusing on the majesty of God.H.E. Eickleberry is a man with a mission. Because of his frustration with conflicting interpretations of Bible prophecy, he spent some serious time in the Word and came away with fresh insights. He uncovered certain patterns and principles, which he faithfully illustrates in this book. His explanations are very detailed, yet are able to be followed. Several of the more difficult passages in Revelation are treated with reverence and some Spirit-filled logic. It's obvious the author intends to educate every reader.
What's unique about this book is that it's not only about prophecy. Rather, it takes a close look at the Person of God as seen through a hierarchical number system discovered by the author. This system is clearly presented through careful teaching, drawings and examples from the Bible. The study is fascinating, but it's the author's enthusiasm that gives these pages power. Here is someone who loves the Lord, loves the Word and is eager to share his insights. Mr. Eickleberry is also very quick to caution readers to test his words in the light of Scripture. His writing is never dogmatic, but he is determined to get his message across.
"The Character Map" will cause readers to search the Scriptures, meditate on the Word and give glory to God. This reviewer thinks that for those very reasons, this book should be read.
