The stuff in this book is life changing.
I like the accessibility and nuance of Matt's writing. If you've listened to his podcast or sermons, you can hear his voice in the text.More importantly, this book has taught me so much about Revelations. I will have to read it again to catch all the things I missed the first time. But some of my favorite take aways are how Revelations isn't terrifying. Revelations is FOR God's "redeemed saints across all space and time".Also how amazing and reassuring that Jesus died "for those who will be saved."Matt has given us a great resource to help us gain clarity and hear what God is telling us through Revelations.

Awesome read!
We did a study on this book in our small group. It was an all time favorite for us! We learned so much about God and what He was trying to teach us through John's words in Revelation. Matt made it easy to understand and was very encouraging throughout. It definitely changed us!

Truly captivating & encouraging.
Anything Matt Chandler writes, or preaches, I’m always a huge fan. At first, realizing it was a break down of revelation, I was skeptical, BUT… man what a word for our day. Matt Chandler is effortlessly skilled with word play and dedication, it’s well viewed throughout the entire book. I couldn’t put it down. As soon as I finished reading it, I went and bought the audiobook so I could just listen again. So many highlights, such good content, and so freeing. Matt, you really did your big one here. Proud for you. Look up to you beyond words. Click buy now immediately.

The Ultimate Letter of Hope and Encouragement
If you ever wanted to understand God’s story of humanity from the lens of the book of Revelation, this is it! Taught in a way that you can truly understand, The Overcomers is worth every page; it will leave you encouraged and equipped to deal with life’s ultimate reality. One thing that characterizes Matt Chandler’s teaching is his passion for the Word of God and conviction in the implications of our salvation - or lack thereof. Chandler in this book will empower you to fearlessly go to battle against the principalities and powers that despise the people of God. What a privilege for those who are in Christ to be invited to participate in the disarming of the Enemy!We were made for this day, and this day was made for us — this will be engrained in your soul after you read this book.Some bits and pieces that stuck with me — Live by faith with your eyes on the throne and our confidence in the indwelling Spirit. He's God and cannot fail // If you rightly understand who He is, then you'll rightly understand who you are // We have the Enemy right where we want him - on his heels! // Throughout scripture it is said that we will rule and reign alongside King Jesus in the new heaven and earth // This is the eternal bliss that awaits the Overcomers // Our Faith will be sight.Lastly, you will want to frame “The Overcomers Manifesto” in the last chapter.Dare to gift this book to someone who doesn't yet know God. It is that good! It is that necessary.

Thought provoking, eye opening, & encouraging
"The Overcomers" is a must-read. I’ve read this book twice already and have listened to Matt Chandler’s Bible study on it as well. It is thought provoking and eye opening, helping you understand the book of Revelation and the “end times” in which we are living. I’ve read and studied the Bible for many years and I feel that reading this book has enlightened me on God’s ultimate plan and my purpose as an overcomer in our current culture.

One of the best books I’ve read!
This is one of the best books I’ve read! Growing up in the fundamentalist movement, Revelations brought great dread, and frankly gave me nightmares. In this book, Matt has brought clarity out of confusion, delight out of dread, and I was left feeling immense encouragement to press forward knowing that I was made for today, and because of Christ, I’m an overcomer! I have both the audio version and paperback. You won’t read Revelations the same ever again!
