Download or read book Daniel The Age of Epimetheus written by Peter Pactor and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2018-06-11 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To fight a war you know you cannot win; to accept only the few, small victories along the way, because that is all you can get; to advance boldly into a future, when you have already seen what that devastated future will be; to put one more foot in front of the other, when you feel that you can't go on, and you do it because you believe you can save just one more person—then, my friend, you are a hero. So it is with our young protagonist, Daniel French, and his friends. It is the spring of 1929. The stock market hasn't crashed yet, but in the agrarian South a severe depression has been running rampant since the end of the Great War. In order to view this misery first-hand, Daniel and his friends visit with legendary financier and presidential advisor Bernard Baruch in South Carolina. In this Southern state alone, 647 banks have failed, farms have been foreclosed on, families have been evicted and displaced, and hope has vanished. After this revelatory visit, Daniel is prepared to describe to any audience what the future portends when the economy collapses. People listen to the twelve-year-old Daniel, but they don't want to hear the message. Why should they? The experts say the economy is sound. But Daniel persists, believing that if he convinces only one person every time he speaks, he is at least saving someone from potential financial disaster. Some mock him because of his age and stature. Others attack him verbally and even physically. He makes long-term enemies, and he’s over-extended to the point of exhaustion. But when Harvard University invites him to speak, Daniel doesn’t feel he can decline...though in addressing some of the greatest minds in America...he’ll face his greatest challenges yet.

Download or read book Daniel Being Number 3 written by Peter Pactor and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2022-10-21 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Number one is God. Number 2 is everyone else. Number 3 is you. Daniel said, “How about a prayer first?” Jerry got up, grabbed a blanket, sat down on the couch, and invited me to sit next to him. When prayer was over, I said to him, “Jerry, the thing that is causing you so many problems right now is that you’re trying to be number one instead of number three. You want to be noticed, and behaving as you are now doing will get you noticed, but it won’t be the attention you want. You want to be noticed with love, and you can only achieve your goal by being number three. It’s the law of retaliation. The more love you can share with others, the more you’ll receive, and in the end, you will receive much more than you have given.” “Really?” I laughed. “Really. In basketball you don’t even realize how generous you are; you are totally unselfish. You will pass up an open shot to give your teammates an opportunity from a better position. You don’t even think about it; you just do it. Your teammates love and respect you for your thoughtfulness. You are the best shooter on the floor, and they will turn to you when the game is close, but you allow them—no you help them— to become a part of the glory. And even if a player misses an easy layup, you always go over and give him words of encouragement. You are number three on the court, and as a result you’re number one in their hearts.”
Download or read book Daniel Investing in Family written by Peter Pactor and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2022-02-24 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Read this book, because Daniel: Investing in Family contains information and guidance that is important to you in your own life. Family is Daniel’s focus but there are many interesting characters. We all wake up with our own problems. Often a problem seems gigantic to whoever faces the challenges; but may seem trivial to others. Challenges in Daniel’s world, in the nineteen thirties, are still present today. Hunger was and still is a problem, even in this America. We have over a million runaways today, and over a million kids in foster care. Sometimes, it seems that people feel too helpless to solve their challenges, that they just need some guidance and the feeling of being loved to get their attitudes adjusted. Expanding his family is part of Daniel’s way of touching many.

Download or read book The Visions of Daniel the Hebrew Prophet written by Robert Johns and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, controversy has raged over the authorship and genuineness of the book of Daniel. Is it an authentic document from the sixth century before the Common Era with a message from God to postexilic Israel; or is it a forged document written centuries later to encourage Israelites being oppressed by the Seleucid king, Antiochus Epiphanes? Robert Johns addresses these issues and more in his thesis on Daniel's visions. Importantly, Johns establishes when Daniel was provided with his visions, and he defines why God provided Daniel with the visions. The Visions of Daniel the Hebrew Prophet examines the metal image, the beast with eleven horns, the Seventy "sevens," chapter eight's little-horn, and the 2,300 evening-mornings. It demonstrates that the enigmatic 1,290 days and 1,335 days are anything but enigmatic, and it identifies the reason why Daniel's fifth and final revelation is so detailed. Appendices address issues of general nature, such as the historicity of Jesus the Christ, the popularity of dispensationalism, the identity of "the abomination that desolates," and the integrity of novels representing the Christian-fiction genre (which focus on a seven-year tribulation period at the end of history). This book will be of value to every Christian who has an interest in Bible prophecy and eschatology.

Download or read book Daniel and the Revelation written by James Durwood Moody Sr. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-04-30 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Daniel records major prophecies that will be fulfilled during the time of the book of the Revelation. One such prophecy is given in Daniel 2:44, which foretells the establishment of God’s kingdom of heaven brought down to earth. This event can be studied in Revelation 19:11–20:6. Another of these prophecies is found in Daniel 7:24–25, and its fulfillment is recorded in Revelation 13:1–3. This prophecy speaks of the Roman Empire coming to life again during the tribulation period and, indeed, has already been formed under the name of the European Union. Because of this special relationship between Revelation and Daniel, I have put together the two books in this particular format to expedite and simplify its study.
