The Book of Daniel
Be Inspired. Be Informed. Be Prepared. The Book of Daniel is really two books in one as you'll discover in The Smart Guide to the The Book of Daniel. You'll be inspired by Daniel's integrity in part one. As a young man in Babylonian captivity, Daniel's faith and courage led him to famously interpret the King's dream and to survive being cast in a furnace. And, you'll be amazed by Daniel's God-given prophecies in part two. Many of these events have already taken place or are now unfolding exactly as predicted. This Smart Guide will help you understand-and be prepared for-God's triumphant plan. Be Smart Smart Guides Are for Everyone! The Bible is loaded with valuable insights for every area of your life. The Smart Guides to the Bible let you easily uncover them all-even the passages you once thought were hard to understand. Whether you're new to the Bible, a long-time student of Scripture or somewhere in between, you'll appreciate the many ways the relevant helps on each page lead you to get the most out of God's Word.

Ordained to the priesthood on April 21, 1989 for the Diocese of Erie, Pennsylvania, Father Larry Richards has served as Pastor of St. Joseph Church/Bread of Life Community, also in Erie, since July 1, 2002. In addition, Father is the founder of the DME (Divine Mercy Encounter) Retreat Program for the Diocese of Erie
On August 30, 2004, in the midst of his many commitments to his parishioners, to the TEC community, and to traveling around the United States for Parish Missions, Retreats, and Conferences, Father Larry founded and is president of “The Reason For Our Hope Foundation,” a non-profit organization dedicated to ‘spreading the Good News’ by educating others about Jesus Christ and the Catholic faith through CDs and DVDs, as well as promoting Catholic speakers who are effective instruments of evangelization.

May 18, 2021There is a lot to dive into now. There are many dates, many prophecies, many references. The Antichrist and the Tribulation period seems like an epic battle that, at times, seems almost depressing.
It took me a long time to get through this one, and much of that has to do with the fact that there are so many elements to process. I know a lot more about Daniel than before, but there are points where it basically becomes a "this is what may be happening, but not quite sure" in some areas. That is to be expected. Nevertheless, it is a good foundation of getting a glimpse of what Daniel was like from a young age to a very old age.

I learned so much from reading this book. I have read the bible through at least 3 times and I have always really enjoyed the book of Daniel, but there was a lot of it that I didn't understand. This book has answered a lot of questions that I had. I know that in the years to come I will continue to refer back to this book to refresh my memory. I want to Thank GOD and the writers for all the information that is in this book. Please continue your good work.
