The Derision of Heaven: A Guide to Daniel
"The Derision of Heavenis a concise, informative introduction to the difficult text of Daniel. All of us who need to understand Old Testament prophecy better can use Michael Whitworth's book, which also urges us (in a strong, scriptural way!) to rededicate ourselves to Kingdom service."—Dr. Caleb G. Colley"This in-depth study of the book of Daniel compares the Israelite exile to today's church. Like in his first book,The Epic of God: A Guide to Genesis, Whitworth makes scholarship accessible and draws surprising applications from the text."—Christian Chronicle"The Derision of Heavenis an excellent study of the book of Daniel. Not only does it bring to life the biblical principles of sovereignty and disciplined Christian living, but it is comforting to anyone who is seeking answers to the failing influence of the church in America."—Bill Howard,Readers' Favorite"Whitworth writes in a comfortable, almost casual style but is always profoundly respectful of the inspiration behind Daniel's account."—Gospel Advocate"Michael Whitworth's greatest contribution in the pages ahead is not just his careful scholarship of the Daniel text (making it refreshingly accessible to the average reader), but also his challenge to the church to see Daniel as a must-read for Christians who are now facing the imminent prospect of spiritual exile in our own homelands."—F.
