I absolutely love this series and this one was equally as good as the other ones I have done.

I recently completed "Daniel: Staying Strong in a Hostile World" by David Helm, and unfortunately, I can’t recommend it. While I absolutely love the book of Daniel and was excited to dive into a study on it, this particular guide fell flat for me.
The study felt very dry and repetitive. Many of the questions simply asked me to write out scripture rather than encouraging deeper reflection or critical thinking. I usually enjoy studies that prompt me to analyze, apply, and engage with God’s Word in a way that stretches my understanding, but this one didn’t provide that challenge.
If you’re looking for a study that sparks thoughtful discussion or pushes you to wrestle with the text, this might not be the right choice. It’s more of a fill-in-the-blank style workbook than an in-depth, thought-provoking resource.
Overall, I left this study feeling disappointed and wishing it had gone beyond surface-level engagement with such a rich and powerful book of the Bible.
