Discernment From Daniel

The biblical book of Daniel has fascinated readers for centuries. Does the intrigue center on flashy apocalyptic writing, the oh-so-very-human stories or the mysterious futuristic narrative? Whatever the appeal, all Daniel's explorers inevitably bump up against some literary curiosities and prophetic perplexities along the way.

Fortunately, for every Daniel fan, both admirers and questioners, we now have "Discernment from Daniel". Here the prophesy's alignment and its secrets are revealed for us in a substantial (but thankfully entertaining) narrative. There's even a splash of poetry, humor and dream reverie to add a pinch of spice. Then we close with a quartet of appendices for further historical study and detail.

"Discernment from Daniel" uniquely mixes the inspirational and the academic - a rare blessing. What the prophesy has to say in our new millennium is nothing short of profound; so, it's nice to hold a book that lights the way with some solid text and smart writing.
