Description
The Story of Daniel the Prophet is both a history and prophetic revelation of events that, as revealed to Daniel in vision, took place, have taken place, and are about to take place in the earth. While history bears witness to the veracity of Daniel’s account, the last day events transpiring at this time confirm it as well. Stephen N. Haskell, author of this timeless book, had a depth of understanding and Scriptural knowledge that few could rival today. With skillful pen, Haskell wove the story of the prophet Daniel into a study of his prophecies, connecting the dots with world history as he wrote. Haskell concluded with an explanation of the last chapter of Daniel, which shows the great triumphal climax of the "great controversy" with the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Though written in 1904, this book remains accurate—and relevant—in our day. Its spiritual content and scope never fail to challenge, inspire, and amaze. This book is highly recommended for any serious student of Bible prophecy, or anyone who simply wants to understand more fully what the Bible predicts for these tumultuous times.

Person
Stephen Haskell was described as being a large, slow-moving man who was very deliberate-yet somehow irresistible in speech. He had a flowing beard, a shovel-tipped nose, and his hair, which became gray and then white as he aged, was described as a "luxuriant mane." Those who heard Pastor Haskell speak said that, in manner and speech, he was a typical old-fashioned New Englander. His English was not always perfect, and his Yankee dialect never left him, but his earnest, kindly smile always made friends. A fatherly figure, Haskell earned the affection of thousands of spiritual children. He grew with the years-alternatively serving as a preacher, executive, author, and publisher. But most importantly, Haskell was a lay leader for the church, using his talents for literature, correspondence, and personal missionary work. An accomplished organizer and administrator, Pastor Haskell served for years as a conference president within the Seventh-day Adventist Church. At one point, he even served as president of the New England and California conference simultaneously! In 1889, Pastor Haskell heard a talk given by Ellen White in which she admonished ministers that there should be "more teaching and less preaching" in Adventist camp meetings. After considering the counsel, Pastor Haskell developed a method of "Bible readings" which came to be known as "fireside preaching." The idea caught on like wildfire, as Christians around the country undertook training to hold home Bible readings. One institute in Battle Creek grew rapidly by studying the Bible Reading Plan. Under the leadership of Pastor Haskell, began with 300 students and ended with 1,000. Today the Bible reading plan continues to be one of the most successful means of winning people to the truth. Today, that book is published as the "Bible Handbook." Haskell's other works include "The Cross and it's Shadow," "The Story of the Prophet Daniel," and "The Story of the Seer of Patmos."
