By Pastor Jeremy Mattek
You’re not where you want to be. You’re facing situations you don’t want to face. And none of it seems to make any sense.
God understands. God cares. And best of all . . . God’s on it.
Need convincing? Meet the prophet Daniel.
He spent most of his life in exile, lived at the mercy of egotistical kings, and faced constant persecution for trying to live out his faith.
But Daniel’s story shows us how to trust God, live our lives for God, and even find peace in a confusing and chaotic culture. That’s what you’ll discover in this book by Jeremy Mattek.
Find out how you can
- rest in God’s presence.
- have confidence in God’s control.
- live with hope in God’s promises.
This 22-day study of the book of Daniel reveals how God sovereignly and compassionately cares for you, even when you can’t see his hand at work.
The title of the book caught my eye. I struggle with a sinful past that although forgiven it crops up often. I have struggled to “hear” Good speaking to me.
Of late, I felt him gently speaking to my spirit that I needed to put him first in everything and that distractions of life interfered with my private time that should come first.
The day the book arrived, I opened it to the day of its delivery. The lesson that day was God saying that anything that takes time away from fellowshipping was a “god” and that is idolatry. He is jealous for our hearts. That confirmed what I was already hearing in my spirit. I highly recommend the book. I also appreciated the cover of the book. It is beautiful and has a nice texture on the outside.
Thank you so much for sharing this heartfelt review. We're grateful to hear how the Lord used the book to affirm what He was already impressing on your heart. It’s a blessing to know the day’s reading spoke to you so directly and encouraged you in putting Him first. Your review is sincerely appreciated—thank you for taking the time to write it.
This is such a thoughtful and encouraging book. It gives specific verses to read in the book of Daniel and shows how he trusted and put his faith in God.
Thank you, Peggy! We're glad you enjoyed the book!
Of course I always love whatever Pastor Jeremy writes or podcasts but this book about Daniel is exceptional. He brings what happened to Daniel into everyday life. Thank you Pastor. We all need to be more like Daniel-strong on our faith
Thank you, Carla! We're glad you enjoyed the book!
Pastor Jeremy has produced a great study guide to the book of Daniel. Repeatedly, this book demonstrates how the Word of God is alive & applicable to our lives today.
