Customer comments on this selection.
 One of the best ever!
I love Bible study anyway and particularly love Daniel and other prophetic books, but this particular study is SO relevant that I have found it one of the best I've ever done. I cannot say enough about the impact it has had on me and will have on others, both in how believers approach their daily lives within a pagan culture and in keeping an eternal perspective on current events.
Daniel: Lives of Integrity, Words of Prophecy
This is an wonderful study of the book of Daniel. It gives you great insight into the life of Daniel, the hisory of the Babylonian exile, and the prophecy revealed to Daniel. This workbook is to be used with the Daniel teacher kit by Beth Moore. You will need the videos to do some of the work.
 More preaching than teaching
Beth Moore is a very engaging preacher and I was inspired by some of her messages in this Daniel study. Unfortunately I didn't care for the study format, which is an hour of a preaching video and almost no allowance for discussion. The homework also does not lend itself to deep scriptural discussion, as it deals more with themes and folksy stories than exegesis.
Also, I think making Daniel half about prophecy is not a wise idea. There are many end times views that don't see Daniel as having a place in future prophecy. Even though Beth mentions the other views, she focuses one the one she agrees with (which is understandable) but which bothered me, as I obviously don't agree with her view. She pulled alot of her viewpoints from commentaries and people who agreed with her viewpoint, as opposed to using inductive Bible study study methods.
For someone interested in a serious study of end times, I recommend Revelation: Four Views: A Parallel Commentary by Steve Gregg (available here at Amazon). This focuses on the Book of Revelation, and going verse by verse through the book of Revelations, shows what each of the main 4 end times views has to say about it. By reading through this, a student of end times can come to his/her own conclusion based on the strongest Biblical apologetics.
The Beth Moore Bible study formula would be good for those who are more comfortable being told what to think--and I don't mean that snidely--just so you know there's not a good format for digging in on your own--or for finding out about generalized themes of the Bible.
Honestly, Beth Moore's strength is preaching, and like I said, she had some very inspirational messages that encouraged me to apply Biblical truths to my own life. Just use her studies with the caveat of knowing her format.
Daniel: Lives of Integrity, Words of Prophecy
Excellent study for those serious about learning God's Word and the prophecy told and still being fulfilled to this day.
Babylon vs. Today...We are living in it!
I never thought of Babylon and the book of Daniel in comparison to the way we live today. Beth once again does an amazing job at bringing Scripture to light, and causing you to want to dig in and learn...grow...and change!
