William Collins used the historical facts written in the first six chapters of the book of Daniel in the Old Testament to tell the story of Daniel and his three friends.Babylon’s Falling begins with Judah’s exile to Babylon. On the road to Babylon among the captured are Daniyyel and his three friends.  Does it sound familiar?Babylon’s Falling is a work of fiction and therefore latitude is allowed where William Collins fills in the missing pieces by painting with words interesting events and people into these gaps. The story of Daniel is told with a mixture of fact and fiction, but believable enough that the reader considers the possibility the events could have taken place as the author described it.Daniel of the Old Testament was a prophet, and a true man of God. He was obedient to God, and God was always first in his life, no matter the circumstances. The character Daniyyel in Babylon’s Falling, portrayed the same characteristics, a man who believed in God.I enjoyed reading Babylon’s Falling. It is interesting the way the author William Collins wove together historical facts and fiction resulting in the story of Daniyyel’s life as an exile and advisor to the king Nebuchadnezzar.The message I received from Babylon’s Falling is, -we serve a God of the impossible, who never leaves or forsakes us. We can walk in faith and obedience to God. Babylon’s Falling reminds us of the great prophet Daniel and inspires us to –as the saying goes - Dare to be a Daniel / Daniyyel.WestBow Press as part of their media review bloggers program provided this eBook to me for free in exchange for this honest review.
