Resumen del Editor

The only problem you will have with this brilliant and inspiring novel by Terry Thompson will be laying it down. It is a spellbinding story with many great lessons of courageous leadership. Its contemporary resolution of the mysteries of the end-times will give you chills. Every few years, a particular Bible-based novel commands the attention of the Christian world. This is it for this decade.

Mike Huckabee, former governor of Arkansas, national television personality, and New York Times best-selling author

Daniel was just a teenager when he was taken captive by the Babylonians, never to see his family again.

As Daniel and his friends strive to make the best of their unusual circumstances - slaves in the king's court - they also fight to honor their vows to the one true God amidst a people who worship only false gods. During his lifetime, Daniel saw the fulfillment of God's promises, prophesied of the Israelites future as well as ours, and led pagan kings to God. From slave to the highest position in the king's court, Daniel shows how God can use an ordinary person to do extraordinary things.

Terry Thompson brings the book of Daniel to life with extensive research into the lives and customs of the Hebrew people, and he even opens up the discussion for the prophecies that have yet to be fulfilled. This book is a complement to an intensive study on Daniel and the God Who is still faithful to protect his people.

Daniel

Loved it. Great for a novice and scholar. a reading must to understand the importance of prophesy.

Listen at 1.2 or 1.3

Great story and I appreciated how authentic to Bible and history author was, but the narration was lacking. Narrator made the young folks and all the Babylonians sound like idiots. He had great voicing for narrator, but not the acting skills to carry this book.

Good story

I like the subject, Daniel. I was sad the reader sounded like the cast of Rudolph and the Isle of Misfit Toys. But once I sped it up to 1.2 and accepted the trial of listening to the entire story with this narrator, it was worthwhile.

Great Content -- Unfortunate Voices of Characters

Great story but I almost couldn't finish because of the unpleasant voices of the characters. Narration is fine until narrator attempts to perform different voices. Many of them are painful to listen to. The sample isn't bad but it is not indicative of the rest of the book. Not everyone can be a voice actor - sorry sir!

Enjoyed the story and the narration

This was definitely a historical/informative book so be prepared to learn! I enjoyed it. I also didn’t mind the narrator, though I see others weren’t such fans. I enjoyed how it was more a production than a standard audiobook.

Horrible narration

I saw the warnings on other reviews- but I am one who can usually get past bad narration. Sadly I just couldn’t do it with this one.
Like others said- the narrator himself is probably great- but the theatrics they tried to incorporate were unbearable.
This book sounds so great- I might have to actually read it!

Horrible horrible narration.

Seriously I wanted so much to listen to this book but I could not handle the narration one more chapter. I finally gave up after chapter 5. What the heck happened to using a focus group to test if people are going to like the narration?

I don’t want to be mean but the narrator

I’m sure Doug thought he was bringing life to the characters but it resulted in the oddest audible book I’ve ever listened to out of hundreds. He gives many, many characters a type of stutter. The changes in his voice for characters makes one laugh not listen. I listened because the content was good but it was rough. I’d have enjoyed this book MUCH more if I’d simply read it. I’ve never heard a narrator approach a book like this. It doesn’t come through on the sample narration before you buy. The voice of the college professor? The student? Daniel’s servant? Daniel’s mom? Young Daniel? Shredded. I’m sure Doug had good intentions but they did not serve this project well. Sorry Doug ….
