Hamlet--the Shakespearean Director
An exploration of modern directors approaches to 'Hamlet'
The Revelation Rainbow
This book, “Revelation Rainbow” is the end of a forty-year quest by the author to find answers to the questions generated by Biblically un-informed scholarship that shrouds rather than unveils the great truths of this Holy Spirit directed work of our Lord. Hundreds of students of Revelation have been left in a bewildered state because certain scholars approach the book with a human mindset, instead of a Spirit led mindset. Instead of looking at Revelation as The Divine apocalypse, they try to humanize and literalize the book as a study of human secular history leaving the student with a complicated scheme of things that do not make sense. Having met these students, Mr. Doughty was greatly distressed to see them turn from God’s Word (especially Revelation) altogether. Subjects like the Antichrist, Millennium, Mark of the Best, Rapture, Tribulation and “Left Behind” are just some of the end-time twists causing confusion.
