Reviews

It was a wonderfully deep book full or insites into what it might have been like for the biblical hero Daniel to live in Babylon


Highlights

“We must hold loosely to the things on this earth-both possessions and the people most precious to us."

“And that's exactly the circumstance in which Yahweh works best. Don't you understand? If we could organize the path to take, we wouldn't needa miracle-working God to create it."

“Those riddled with pride must experience God's personal discipline before they can feel the warmth of His love.”

"Our service to God isn't about comparing ourself to others, lis about measuring obedience to our individual calling."
