I rated this book with four out of four stars.
This is book four in Daniel Friedman's inspired studies series, but you can read it as a standalone. I would recommend it to those readers who want to reconcile science and the Bible. I also think the readers of the Jewish faith would find this book more interesting. Keep in mind that this is a very complex read that might be difficult for younger readers to understand.
The only thing I disliked is the fiction part of the book in chapter three about global warming. I didn’t find it very interesting, and it missed the mark with me on that one completely.

I rated it a 3 out of 4 stars. I felt that he repeated a lot of information and that the true focus of the book was on Kabbalah and the Jewish Torah. While the Bible is similar to the Torah in the first 5 books, it just didn't sit well with me.

I highly recommend this book. If you read it with an honest open mind and let the facts speak for themselves the book will change you. I rated the book 4 stars out of 4 because it is very entertaining and thoroughly researched. Readers do not need to believe in God to understand what it discusses. The facts and evidence speak for themselves. It is left up to the reader to choose whether the obvious is true or not. Great book!

I liked how this book valued all timelines and evidence, no matter where or when they happened. I think the book’s ideas are presented well, and I will recommend it to others, for sure. The only thing that I didn’t like so much was how the author time-jumped abruptly in mid-study. Sometimes it was confusing. Overall, however, it’s a great book.

I reviewed this some time ago and I rated it with 3 out of 4 stars. I liked the way that it is presented as a research paper along with all the figures, tables, etc. The theories are quite intriguing, but all in all, it felt like an attempt to prove that the bible is true. At the same time, a big question occurred to me. Where is jesus in this book? Was he never important in God's Divine Plan?

Your question is why I believe that this was more focused on the Jewish Torah. The Jewish religion does not believe that Jesus is the Messiah. The Bible and Torah are similar in the first 5 books but after that they are different due to belief systems.

I really liked this book. The author took the time to explain the connections between science and religious documents in a way that I could easily understand them though I had to reread some of sections to make sure I understood. I have read some other writings on this subject and find this is the most comprehensive I have found.

As to Jesus, the author states that a great religious leader arises at the beginning of each period. Could Jesus have been that leader for that period. And his return could be the last religious leader before the end as predicted in the Bible and the last one in the last period described in the book?

What I liked most about the was the title. I feel the details and the lessons from the book correlated with the title. I will surely recommend it to those who wish to find the connection of science and the Bible.

I would rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I really enjoyed reading this book as I'm a science student myself and found this very easy to understand. I also liked the part in which the author has interwoven religion. There is nothing much that I disliked about this book.

I personally love the book and I give it 5 stars there is nothing too bad about it, it point man to the creator and humanity most importantly it also talk about science

I would prescribe it to those perusers who need to accommodate science and the Bible. I additionally figure the perusers of the Jewish confidence would discover this book really fascinating. Remember that this is an unpredictable perused that may be hard for more youthful perusers to comprehend.
The lone thing I detested is the fiction part of the book in section three about an unnatural weather change. I didn't think that its extremely fascinating, and it came up short with me on that one totally.

The Biblical Clock: The Untold Secrets Linking the Universe and Humanity with God’s Plan by Daniel Friedmann, Dania Sheldon - Another thought-provoking book by Daniel Freidman and Dania Sheldon. This time focusing on their research rather than conclusions. Once the translation of the words is correct I believe a mesmerizing story will unfold including science.

I rated this book one out of four stars. I kept searching for the best word to describe it, and I kept coming back to "Nonsense". The mental gymnastics that the author goes through to attempt to reconcile his religious beliefs with accepted scientific observations would make Simone Biles jealous. The writing is also lacking. The author concludes that Adam was created at 10 AM on Day 6, Eve between 11-12. They were then to be married at 6 PM, but apparently due to their uncontrollable lust, had "marital relations" at 2. How could they have "marital relations" without being married, and why is the author afraid to use the word "sex"?
To be convinced of any of this requires a belief in the literal text of the Bible, and I just don't have that. I'm sure there's an audience for this type of book out there, but I'm certainly not it. A complete waste of my time.

Congrats on being March 2021 BOTM. Personally, I found it very uncomfortable reading this book but at least I loved the fact that there was enough evidence and research to back the author’s point. I would rate this book 2 out of 4 stars.
