The Enclave by Karen Hancock Check out Karen's Blog , too... Here is my review of this entertaining book: First of all, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to Karen Hancock and her publisher for sending me a copy of "The Enclave" to review for them. I have always been grateful for this generosity, and I am trying to improve at being consistent in taking the time to thank these wonderfully giving individuals in a public forum. I really appreciate your time, effort and expense in making a reviewer copy available to me. “The Enclave” by Karen Hancock is a thrilling science fiction adventure that will appeal to both Christian and non-Christian audiences. The controversial debate of the ethics of cloning are woven hand-in-hand with the spiritual ramifications of the scientific process on the soul. My husband, the science fiction/fantasy fan, snapped this book up to read before I had the chance, so these comments are what he relayed to me: Although much of the story ...

1st year of Belshazzar’s reign. Daniel is about 66. 553 BC. (Blueprint – Arthur/NIV SB) Chapter 7 is the heart of the book of Daniel – the most important chapter – contains a major transition. The rest of the study is for us, but not about us. (Daniel – Beth Moore) 7:1 – this is a flashback. It takes place prior to chapter 5. It probably appears out of order because of how the book is divided: the first six chapters are history, the last six chapters are visions. (Life App SB) 7:2 – Daniel is now being written in the 1st person perspective. (Daniel – Beth Moore) 7:2-8 – Daniel’s vision is similar to Nebuchadnezzar’s dream in Chapter 2.
