From the Man Booker Prize-winning author of The Sense of an Ending--a rich, witty, revelatory tour of Belle poque Paris, via the remarkable life story of the pioneering surgeon, Samuel Pozzi. In the summer of 1885, three Frenchmen arrived in London for a few days' intellectual shopping: a prince, a count, and a commoner with an Italian name. In time, each of these men would achieve a certain level of renown, but who were they then and what was the significance of their sojourn to England? Answering these questions, Julian Barnes unfurls the stories of their lives which play out against the backdrop of the Belle poque in Paris. Our guide through this world is Samuel Pozzi, the society doctor, free-thinker and man of science with a famously complicated private life who was the subject of one of John Singer Sargent's greatest portraits. In this vivid tapestry of people (Henry James, Sarah Bernhardt, Oscar Wilde, Proust, James Whistler, among many others), place, and time, we see not merely an epoch of glamour and pleasure, but, surprisingly, one of violence, prejudice, and nativism--with more parallels to our own age than we might imagine. The Man in the Red Coat is, at once, a fresh portrait of the Belle poque; an illuminating look at the longstanding exchange of ideas between Britain and France; and a life of a man who lived passionately in the moment but whose ideas and achievements were far ahead of his time.Binding Type: Hardcover

An optimistic view of the endtimes
Format: Kindle
I like Matthew's writing style.For a subject as esoteric like Revelation, he makes it an easy read. I would have given it 5 stars if this was an audio but for some repetitious statements.
He brings to light the pivotal role of the two witnesses and the 144,000 in end-time harvest. It gives you an optimistic view of the future in keeping with the theme of the New Testament. A real blessing to the Bride waiting for the Groom. Maranatha!

End times made (more) simple.
Format: Kindle
Matthew has taken a difficult topic and expanded on it based not only on the Word, but also based on visions, prophecy from others, and revelation knowledge from the Holy Spirit. He gives new ideas and strengthens old ones. For instance, I have always thought the two witnesses in Revelation are Enoch and Elijah because God took them (they did not die) and because man is appointed once to die. This was reinforced by this book, and I believe that it is a leading by the Holy Spirit within the critical framework of the Word. Its a short read and worth your time.

Good, but ...
Format: Kindle
Not quite what I was hoping for and not nearly as informative as his other books.

The two witnesses are Elijah and Enoch
Format: Kindle
Matthew Robert Payne has the unique insight of having interviewed both Elijah and Enoch. The revelation he has received from them can be found on his YouTube channel and in his book "Great Cloud of Witnesses Speak." Those resources along with "Optimistic Visions of Revelation" give a clear picture of what the tribulation will look like. Study them to find your end time calling and how to keep your family and loved ones safe.

Beware , deceived false prophet
Format: Kindle
Scripture speaks against communicating with the dead.
“10 There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering,[a] anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer 11 or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, 12 for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord. And because of these abominations the Lord your God is driving them out before you. ”
— Deuteronomy 18:10-12 (ESV)
“31 “Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your God. ”
— Leviticus 19:31 (ESV)
The creepy "prophet" is clearly not hearing from Jesus. At best he's just making stuff up for some easy money. At worst demons are feeding him creative stories. Either way it's a worthless deception everyone should avoid.
