Thomas Penney’s “The Seven Letters to the Seven Churches in Revelation” Brings Ancient Wisdom to the Frankfurt Book Fair 2025

“The Seven Letters to the Seven Churches in Revelation: Their Meaning Then and Now” by Thomas Penney will be showcased at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2025, running 15–19 October at Messe Frankfurt. The book will be exhibited at Hall 5.1, Stand D86, as part of the collaborative presentation by The Maple Staple and Inks & Bindings.

The book examines the messages Christ delivered to the early church through John’s Revelation: letters written to congregations facing persecution, cultural pressure, and the temptation to compromise. Penney brings pastoral insight to these passages, reminding readers that while temples of pagan gods may no longer dominate city skylines, the dangers of syncretism, complacency, and unexamined cultural trends remain. For believers today, the call is the same as it was for the churches of Ephesus, Smyrna, and Laodicea: hold fast to Scripture and resist the quiet creep of compromise.

An ordained Southern Baptist pastor, Penney has been preaching for 35 years, serving congregations as both pastor and interim leader while also teaching Bible study and seminary Greek classes. His decades of ministry experience ground the book in both scholarship and practical application, offering encouragement and guidance for Christians navigating faith in the modern world.

The Maple Staple, returning for its second year at Frankfurt and joined for the first time by U.S.-based Inks & Bindings, will spotlight Penney’s work alongside a broad selection of faith-based titles, memoirs, poetry, and more. Their stand will also feature book spotlights, giveaways, and an audiobook listening corner.

“The Seven Letters to the Seven Churches in Revelation: Their Meaning Then and Now” will be exhibited at Hall 5.1, Stand D86 during the Frankfurt Book Fair 2025. Visitors are invited to explore the book in person at the stand, while readers worldwide can access it through Amazon and other major retailers.
