THRIVING IN BABYLON by Dr. Larry Osborne . . . EVEN IN BABYLON, GOD IS IN CONTROL!

Dr. Larry Osborne has served as a senior pastor and teaching pastor at North Coast Church – one of the ten most influential churches in the country – since 1980.  Dr. Larry Osborne is a pastor who recognizes truth . . . and has no compunctions in administering it.

How refreshing! 

In his work, THRIVING IN BABYLON, Dr. Osborne takes a fresh look at the book of Daniel.  Discarding the “typical” interpretation of Daniel as a book of mystery, disregarding the “popular” interpretation of Daniel as a book of encouragement, Dr. Osborne engages the text with scholarship and wisdom, and opens up the eyes of those who will see.   Along the way, the author explores:
  • Why panic and despair are never from God
  • What true optimism really looks like
  • How humility disarms even the greatest of enemies
  • Why respect causes those who would otherwise have nothing to do with God, to listen
  • How wisdom can snatch victory out of the jaws of defeat


But be warned . . . as an old proverb counsels us, “Truth can sometimes wear a wry face.”  Are you prepared to handle the truth?

Author Dr. Larry Osborne can deliver it.


5 stars for a refreshing, reflective understanding of the life of Daniel
