Cyrus the Persian: a great king, a great warrior, and an integral part of God's plan for the Jewish return to Canaan. This is the story of the life and ascent of Cyrus and the events that might have transpired during his life leading to the decree that would allow the Israelites to leave Persia. Based on historical fact, author Sherman Nagel's retelling of this story is exciting to read and hard to put down. 184 pgs. ~ Zach
These packs were compiled by Diana Waring for use with her Ancient Civilizations and the Bible Study Guide. Although it would be wonderful to have access to all the books referenced in the guide, Diana realizes that this isn't always practical and has thus provided three different packs. The Economy Pack provides just the essentials. The Basic Pack contains the essentials and some others that are also very useful. The largest pack, the Deluxe Pack, holds all the essentials plus extras that are also nice to have for your study. In case you wish to upgrade, Add-On packs are also available.
Sometimes books used in the packs below go out of print. We will make every effort to have the stock we need, however, if a book becomes unavailable, we'll substitute with another book of the author's (Diana Waring) choosing. Please note that because of this, not all books are directly referenced in the study guide.

This book brings the time of the Medes and Persians alive and makes many interesting connections about Daniel and the Jews at that time.
