The Bible says God is personally, purposefully involved in all that’s taking place here on earth. He’s reigning over each tear and scar and crisis and conflict. Heaven is ruling, always ruling.

Using the timeless book and example of Daniel as a guide, author Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth reveals how seeing our lives and world through the lens of Heaven’s rule can shield us from panic and give us renewed hope and

Story
This is mankind’s last chance. Centuries of greed, pride, and hate have sent humanity hurtling toward disaster, and far from its original purpose. There is only one solution that can reset the compass and right the ship, and it is only two words. With time running out, it is up to David Ponder and a cast of history’s best and brightest minds to uncover this solution before it is too late. The catch? They are allowed only five tries to discover the answer. Andy Andrews combines a riveting narrative with astounding history in order to show us the one thing we must do when we don’t know what to do.

This book must be on all the “Best Seller” lists!
I pretty much listen to 90% of this book in one sitting. It was too late for me to complete the book in its entirety but seriously, if you are looking for a good listen, do not go any further past this book! I absolutely loved the storyline and how it all connected. The author has an amazing gift of telling stories that really tug deep at the heart! Can’t wait for more books! Recommend 10/10
