I love Amir and I love his books. I listen to him frequently also. I love going through the book chapter by chapter with him. It’s like he is sitting right there with you. I have listened to him often enough, I hear the book in his voice. He makes things so simple and I appreciate that in any book I read about the Bible but especially so in books about these hard to read at times books such as Revelation and Daniel. I hope he keeps going and does Ezekiel and Isaiah also (or the whole Bible). He also has a good since of humor which makes it an enjoyable read and not drudgery. We are meant to enjoy the Bible. If he or his team reads this review please know you have taught us so much and give us so much hope. Know that we pray for you and your family and team at Behold Israel regularly.

The original book about Daniel is found in the Old Testament of the Bible. It’s an autobiographical book of the long life of a genuine hero of faith. When the ancient kingdom of Judah fell, Daniel was taken captive to serve in pagan Babylon. Daniel suffered greatly as this occurred, but served his masters with great competence. Even so, Daniel would not compromise his faith in the God of Israel. God empowered Daniel to interpret dreams of the kings and providing Daniel with visions of future events that would re-shape the world. Most of the prophecies recorded by Daniel have already been fulfilled, but there are several important ones that remain open, ones that dovetail with the prophecies recorded in the Bible’s book of Revelation.

I have read and enjoyed other books by Amir Tsarfati (and Dr. Rick Yohn, his co-author on this and some others), so I pre-ordered this one with high expectations. As a student and writer about Bible end times prophecy, I was well aware of Daniel’s prophesies regarding the end times, but looked forward to seeing Amir dig into the subject.

As I hoped, Amir describes the events in Daniel’s life and the prophecies. He connects them to other Bible verses (which he often quotes in the text). His writing style is very friendly and clear. He uses contemporary events and appropriate humor to keep the connection with the reader. The book explains how the end times prophecies of Daniel connect to actual events that were in his future, but our past, and to the still-coming events of the Tribulation and thereafter, which the apostle John recorded in Revelation. In “Discovering Daniel,” Amir also provides encouragement to readers and thoughts on how the messages of Daniel applies to our lives- it lives up to its sub-title, “Finding Our Hope in God’s Prophetic Plan Amid Global Chaos.”

Amir dedicates the book to God and to his family. He is a Jewish Christian who lives in Israel and who previously served in the Israeli Defense Forces. The book was published in early 2024. Appropriately, his dedication also addresses the sorrow and pain from the October 7, 2023 terror attack; he reminds readers that in Daniel (and elsewhere in the Bible), God has set forth His plan for Israel. Spoiler alert: God wins.

I strongly recommend “Discovering Daniel.” It is a great companion to Tsarfati’s bestselling book “Revealing Revelation” (which I also recommend).

This is an excellent study of Daniel. The first 120 pages relates the story of Daniel's life in Babylon and all of the adventures he lived through there in his first 80 years. His faith shines through his service to three kings in Babylon. God used him in many mighty ways. I love those stories, and Amir tells them in very colorful, informative and even humorous ways. Although I'm very familiar with those stories, I still learned some things that were inciteful. But I really bought the book for the prophecy. Beginning at chapter 7 on page 131 of this 273 page book, we begin a study of the things that God told Daniel by way of His messenger angel. Prophecy that was in the future for Daniel and in the past for us is explained and is so detailed and proven by history that we are amazed and awed and can see how God is so rightly "proven" by His track record in prophecy. It's truly beautiful! Then, we're told what things are still to happen in OUR future -- even things that we have seen happen and happening in our own day and time. With the future events that were given to Daniel being more than a bit hard to understand, it's so helpful to have a guide like Amir Tsarfadi to explain these visions. He writes with not only authority and knowledge, but also humor and colorful descriptions -- oh, and He writes with a lovely spiritual depth because He is a child of God who loves, honors, serves and praises God almighty!

I want to re read it Ali g with reading the book of Daniel. Lots of historical context! Biblical prophecy fulfilled and soon to be fulfilled!!!! Lots of depth!!!!

I learned soooo much about Daniel. Even things that I had pictured in my head from hearing about his story as a young girl, were not necessarily accurate. How old do you think Daniel was when he was thrown into the lions den? I won’t tell you but I guarantee your guess is wrong. The first half of the book dissected all of the chapters of Daniel. The second have of the book discussed Daniel’s visions and prophesies (whether these prophesies had already taken place or had not yet been fulfilled). There was great correlation between the book of Daniel and Revelation. This was a great book and highly recommend.

Discovering Daniel by Amir Tsarfati Is an outstanding commentary on the Biblical book of Daniel. Well written with humor and candor, Discovering Daniel provides the reader with insights into the meaning behind the book. Discovering Daniel highlights the book of Daniel as foreshadowing and revealing the future events of the Middle East and encourages the reading of Revelation as a companion book.

Very good book. Amir goes chapter by chapter and brings the book of Daniel out in a way we can relate to it today. I would definitely recommend this book for those searching but also those who are seeking to study the book of Daniel in depth.

Amazing book!! I loved everything about it!!!!

Solid book with an Israeli centered interpretation of Daniel. Hope as believers of keeping strong in these end times.

Very good and helpful treatment of the biblical book of Daniel. I learned a lot. Now on to doing the workbook.

Excellent review of the book of Daniel with expert outline of past and future prophecy framed in the light of current world events.

This was a really good book, an easy read but a lot of truth.

This is an excellent resource to help make sense of a prophetic book for someone who really doesn’t understand much about biblical prophecy. I’ve always been confused by books like Daniel and Revelation, but this author took me by the hand and explained how to interpret Daniel alongside Revelation, in the context of scripture overall and history up to this point. It is very compelling to read this as a believer who looks forward to Christ’s return. It sparks a renewed urgency for evangelism and for studying God’s word even more.
