I have always wanted to dig deeper into the book of Daniel and I feel that this book was very comprehensive and accessible to the average reader. I like how the book is divided into a 40 day study, which worked well for me during Lent this year. Dividing it made it easier to read and take in. Small chunks are usually easier to digest than a huge mass of information, which the book of Daniel qualifies at I feel. Prophetic works always have imagery, which is usually confusing if you don't know where it's coming from or to what it is referring.

And with the way the world is going, is there anyone out there who isn't the least bit curious about how close we are to the end of it all? I have to say, I feel less like it will all end horribly right now. Maybe in a few years, but I have more hope that the "End of Times" won't be until after I have lived a good, long life. This book did bring me some comfort, which I appreciated, as well as educated me, which is never a bad thing.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is worried about the end and could use some reassurance, as well as anyone who wants to really dig into the book of Daniel. This book does a good job of breaking it down into workable bites and explains in easily understood terms. It also refers back to other parts of the Bible often, which I like. Go to the source. for clarification.

4 stars. Solid, helpful book that I think I may be turning back to in the future when I get to the book of Daniel in my daily Bible reading. Highly recommended.

My thanks to NetGalley and Harvest House Publishers for an eARC copy of this book to read and review.
