A Light in Babylon : A Novel Based on the Life of Daniel

by Carole C. Carlson

His very name evokes a sense of awe and admiration—Daniel, the young Jew with the fortitude to be God's person in the midst of a pagan court...and the prophet whom God chose to pull back the veil of the future and reveal judgment and salva-tion to come.

About the author

Hal Lindsey is known as the father of modern bible prophecy. However, after two decades of basking in the praise for creating this new genre of prophetic literature, it was quietly revealed that the books were actually ghost written by a mysterious C.C. Carlson. Recently C.C. Carlson began appearing on the back cover of Lindsey's books as co-author. But even today, few realize that the writer whose genius triggered this global phenomenon was a woman.

Carole C. Carlson has written over twenty books that we know of. There is no telling who is writing for whom in the dispensational community since the use of ghost writers and professional writers by the big names like Billy Graham has become the norm. In fact, one wonders if Hal Lindsey has written any of the books that bear his name.
