PASTOR-EDUCATOR PENS 1ST BOOK

Often described as a gifted and educated scholar well-known Sullivan County Pastor Richard Ienuso has penned his first book titled "The Unveiling Of Jesus Christ."
The book is a unique synopsis on the Book of Revelation.
In the Introduction chapter Rev. Ienuso proclaims, "Jesus Christ is coming back..I'm sure you have heard this before....He is....and the Book of Revelation declares it."
Pastor Ienuso noted in the Introduction chapter that "John the Apostle wrote it (The Book of Revelation)" and "his purpose was to give us "The Revelation of Jesus Christ."
"Therefore, as we study this book Jesus, the Messiah, the Son of the living God will be revealed," the pastor wrote.
Pastor Ienuso also in the Introduction chapter noted that "many theories, questions, comments, theologies, philosophies and inquires have been suggested as to whether this Revelation of Jesus Christ has already happened, or is happening, or will happen."
His conviction "is that Chapter 1 has already happened, Chapters 2 and 3 are happening and Chapters 4-22 have yet to happen."
In this book the pastor points out that the term "Eschatology means the study of "last things or the study of "end times (i.e., second coming of Jesus Christ)"
A significant reason why Pastor Ienuso wrote this book is that The Book of Revelations is an often misunderstood book of the Bible and he explains that "being God's word, it can be understood and not be a mysterious, veiled book."
Pastor Ienuso points out that "as you read the book you will understand what will be occurring during the end-times," and that, "each chapter will discuss verse by verse the meaning of this extraordinary book."
The pastor said he has found other verses in the Bible that supports the Book of Revelations and that his writings were originally part of bible studies.
It took him six weeks to complete this book and he is working on two new books about prayer and servanthood.
Fifty-seven year-old Richard Stephen Ienuso was born in Brooklyn and has been a pastor in upstate New York and Sullivan County since 1980.
He received his B.A. degree from St. John's University (N.Y.) and received his B.S. degree in Bible, minor in Ministerial Studies at Valley Forge Christian College in Pennsylvania and his Masters degree in Sacred Literature (M.S.L.) from Trinity Theological Seminary in Indiana. Work is presently taking place on his Doctorate with Cambridge Theological Seminary.
Having taught in various Christian Schools and a Bible Institute, Pastor Rich (as he is often called) has helped start a Christian Day School as well as a Christian High School in Sullivan County.
He is an ordained pastor and his wife, Pastor Kathie, is licensed with Elim Fellowship headquartered in Lima, NY. and they are co-pastors of Lighthouse Ministries in Neversink. Their ministry also includes Joseph's Storehouse, a food pantry and outreaches to the Jewish, Gentile and Youth communities.
Their daughter, Grace, is involved in pageants, dance and expressive worship and is musically inclined.
The Rev. Randall Johnson of the International Localization Network said that Pastor Ienuso offers his reader a clear,logical and insightful study of this book. Rabbi Michael Lawrence Zeitler of Baruch Ha Shem Messianic Ministries International called Pastor Ienuso "a gifted and educated scholar. The Rev. Bill Banuchi of Marriage and Family Savers Institute says, "I always thought of Pastor Rich as the 'go to' guy whenever I had a Bible question." Chaplain Moises Santiago, Senior Chaplain of the Woodbourne Correctional Facility said, "Rev. Rich Ienuso brings light and motivation to the expectancy of the glorious return of Jesus Christ."
An official book signing will take place in the near future. The book sells for $14.95 and is available on Amazon.com or by emailing lighthouseministries@gmx.com
