"Thinning the Veil" offers an accessible and reflective exploration of the often-perceived complex and mysterious Book of Revelation. Shane J. Wood aims to make this biblical text more understandable while highlighting its spiritual essence.

As an atheist, I don’t usually engage with religious texts, nor do I have a particular interest in them. However, I found this book surprisingly entertaining. The author presents Revelation not as a frightening prophecy but as an inspiring revelation of Jesus Christ, which makes for an interesting perspective. The exercises and reflection questions add depth for those who want to engage more with the text.

That being said, the book can feel somewhat theoretical at times, with certain explanations becoming repetitive. Those already familiar with theological writings may not find much new insight. Additionally, a stronger emphasis on applying these insights to everyday life would have been beneficial.

Overall, it was a solid 3 ⭐ read for those looking for a less intimidating and more spiritually enriching perspective on Revelation. While it didn’t change my views, it was engaging enough to hold my interest.
