Read by the author.

Are you ready to live with intention and adjust your mindset to be fully equipped to handle anything life throws at you? Join Pastor Matt Chandler as he leads you through the book of Revelation chapter-by-chapter and encourages Christians to build mental fortitude knowing that God called you for such a time as this. Using historical examples, The Overcomers will put steel in the spines of believers and remind them of the fierce, conquering, commanding authority of God over all the earth.

You were made for this exact moment in human history. Things may look gloomy, and you may feel discouraged, but because of the promise and hope found in Scripture, you can be brave, confident, and victorious today!

The apostle John wrote his letter to a certain group of people in a particular place at a specific time. Although it was written to them, it was also written for us. The Overcomers takes a chapter-by-chapter view of Revelation rather than a line-by-line deep dive, helping readers practically understand what God wants to say to us today through this extraordinary book written thousands of years ago. He also talks about how we should view current events, knowing that the writers of the New Testament understood themselves to be living in the “end times” or “last days.”

Believers will be reminded that they are uniquely wired and uniquely placed in this moment in history as part of God’s big plan to push back darkness and to establish light. Christ has overcome, and in Him we, too, are the overcomers! In this book, believers will:

• Find courage and confidence from fellow believers who have gone before us.
• Feel empowered as God reminds them of His promises fulfilled and yet to come.
• Understand the strategies, tactics, and deceptions Satan uses to try to keep us paralyzed with anxiety and fear.
• Build up their mental strength by intentionally living their life for God and mindfully pursuing the light of the world
• Study the book of Revelation and how God uses it to encourage His people through dark times and hardships

In The Overcomers, Matt Chandler reminds readers that they don’t have to be anxious or afraid of anything in the present or in the future because both have already been won. We are not victims but overcomers—and we are a key part of what God is working out in our day. God is at work in the mess, just as He has always been, and He continues to accomplish His purpose of seeking and saving the lost.

'If you have ever been afraid of the future as a Christian or scared to take a deep dive into the book of Revelation, The Overcomers is a great place to start. Matt Chandler's voice has a microphone in my life, because I always know He will tell it like it is, and speak the truth. You will feel this throughout the book as He writes about scripture, God's promises for the end times, biblical truths, and how to live a victorious life in God.'

'In a world with increasing anxiety and fear, what we long for is the promise of stability. Pastor Matt points us to the source of true and lasting stability in Jesus throughout the pages of 'Overcomers.' Through a helpful, accessible, and substantive theological exploration of an often neglected book of the Bible, Revelation; Matt reminds believers today that we join a long legacy of overcomers who have put their trust in the Messiah, Jesus. This is a book we need today, not someday.'

'More than ever we need guides who will lead us to stare unflinchingly at the depths of our depravity and then gently lead us to see the incomprehensible heights of God's glory and love.

Great Listen

If you want to understand Revelation better, give it a listen! You will leave it with more hope and more love of a savior who is GOOD.

Great book, great listen

Matt Chandler does a great job relating Revelation to us as Christian’s today. Matt also does a great job reading for the audio.

Have not and can not stop thinking about

Matt takes a book that produced fear and apathy into a text that puts “steel in my spine.”

Could not recommend more.

New revelation viewpoint

I will listen again to pray through the new idea and interpretation of revelation discussed in this book. Worth a read.

Honest and Sincere

This was a easy to understand explanation of many questions I have had in Revolutions.

A helpful guide through the book of Revelations

This book unlocked a completely new perspective of the book of Revelations for me! Things that seemed overly complicated before, now make sense. Timelines and representations and symbols are all much clearer. Chandler does a fantastic job of explaining life as an Overcomer, detailing what that looks like from a prophetic prospective throughout Revelations.

Like a sit down

This book felt very much like a sit down with Matt Chandler. Several times throughout the book I found myself imagining his hands moving as he spoke, as if he was sitting across from me at a coffee shop, rather than playing in my head.

The book touched on a few topics, mainly homosexuality and political leanings that personally made my ears perk up.

This is a great listen and insightful. My family and I served at TVC for 9 years, then we moved, and I’ve been listening to Matt’s sermons online for 9 years - you can feel that reigned in energy in his reading, which helped keep it upbeat and nicely paced.

insightful, thorough and uplifting

Matt Chandler, the author has a great voice for the audiobook and reads with expression and authenticity.

I’m no longer afraid of what’s to come. I’m an overcomer!!! 🙌🏻

Matt Chandler explained the Revelation exactly how it is intended “allowing the Bible to interpret the Bible”. Well done, good and faithful servant!
