Publisher's summary

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 listeners 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.

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.

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.

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!

Empowering and Inspiring


Matt Chandler's “The Overcomers” is a powerful and uplifting book that equips Christians to face life's challenges with confidence and courage. Drawing deeply from the book of Revelation and historical examples, Chandler masterfully instills a sense of purpose and empowerment in readers, reminding them of God's sovereign authority and enduring promises.

From the first page, Chandler's writing is both engaging and accessible, making complex biblical concepts understandable and relevant for today's believers. This approach not only makes the book more approachable but also allows readers to see the big picture of God's redemptive plan.

One of the standout aspects of “The Overcomers” is its ability to instill "steel in the spines" of believers. Chandler doesn't shy away from addressing the fears and anxieties that many Christians face, but he skillfully counters these with scriptural promises and historical examples of courage and faith. The book serves as a potent reminder that we are not victims of our circumstances but victorious participants in God's grand narrative.

“The message of the book of Revelation is meant to bring stability in the most challenging times imaginable.”

The real strength of “The Overcomers” lies in its ability to make believers feel uniquely called and empowered for this moment in history.

In summary, “The Overcomers” by Matt Chandler is an inspiring and empowering read that every Christian should have on their bookshelf. It is a book that will encourage you, strengthen your faith, and remind you of your vital role in God's kingdom.

Highly recommended!

Important, Encouraging, Eye Opening

Must read. The Overcomes Manifesto at the end will be words I come back to read over and over again. This book is important, eye opening, & will help bring light to aspects in the book of Revelation. Overall this book will help you gain footing, courage, and vision to take back ground by force for Gods Kingdom.

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.
