Author Daniel Rester Sr. Pairs Personal Testimony with Scripture in New Book “Chronicles of Theophilos”

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Daniel Rester Sr. has published a new book, "Chronicles of Theophilos," through Covenant Books, pairing his own life story with biblical scripture to make a case for what he describes as God’s sovereignty over the course of a life.

The book draws on decades of the author’s personal experience, structuring itself around his own trials and what he describes as his emergence from them strengthened by faith. Rather than a straightforward devotional or commentary, the book works by setting his life story alongside scripture passage by passage, using that contrast to argue for the relevance of biblical teaching to ordinary circumstances.

The book’s central theme is surrender: it frames faith, repentance, and obedience to Jesus Christ as the path to what Rester calls renewal and spiritual transformation. It’s aimed partly at readers going through hardship, offering what the publisher describes as encouragement grounded in the idea of steadfast divine love, and partly at readers unfamiliar with Christian faith who might encounter the book as an entry point.

According to the publisher’s announcement, Rester stated: "My prayer is that readers will recognize God’s hand in their own stories and experience the liberating power that comes from surrendering to His sovereign will."

"Chronicles of Theophilos" is available through bookstores and online via Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes and Noble, as well as through Covenant Books directly. Covenant Books, based in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, publishes Christian-market titles across genres.
