Daniel spent most of his life in exile. He served kings, interpreted dreams, survived the lions’ den, and remained faithful to God through the rise and fall of empires. Yet Scripture tells us little about his final years.
Fifteen Mornings with the Prophet imagines fifteen conversations between an aging Daniel and a young Babylonian scribe. Morning after morning, they meet beneath a Babylonian colonnade as Daniel recounts Jerusalem, exile, God’s faithfulness, and the hope that sustained him through a lifetime of faithful service.
Rather than offering a verse-by-verse commentary, Fifteen Mornings with the Prophet invites readers to experience Daniel’s world through historical fiction. Scripture remains the foundation, while imagination fills only the spaces Scripture leaves untouched.
Whether you have read Daniel many times or are discovering his story for the first time, my hope is that this journey deepens your appreciation for God’s faithfulness—and reminds you that He remains faithful, even in exile.
Fifteen Mornings with the Prophet is the first novella in the Prophets in Their Times collection.
