For Such a Time as Now

I have known Daryl for over 35 years, and through that time I have watched him grow into a mature son-the kind described in Ephesians 4:13. His life reflects that ongoing pursuit of unity in the faith and the full knowledge of Christ, marked by spiritual growth, depth, and consistency. As a mature son and a multi-gifted man of God, Daryl has written a compelling and accurate call to the Body of Christ. For Such a Time as Now speaks directly into the urgency of the hour we are living in. Its pages carry biblical clarity and a sense of true spiritual authority. There are many strong and timely insights throughout, but what stands out most to me is the emphasis on identity-not as optional, but as foundational-to the believer’s life. This book is not just informative-it is a call. A call for the Body of Christ to awaken, to grow, and to respond. The time is now to hear that call. May many mature sons arise through the voice of Daryl’s message.

In a time marked by noise, confusion, and quiet compromise, For Such a Time as Now emerges as a clear and unwavering call to return to what matters most. Daryl does not write to entertain or speculate, but to awaken. With pastoral weight and prophetic clarity, he confronts the subtle drift that has reshaped modern faith, where truth is often softened, conviction diluted, and cultural influence quietly embraced. This book challenges readers to move beyond familiarity with faith into a life fully anchored in Scripture, formed by the Spirit, and marked by unrelenting obedience. More than just a book, this is a summons to be found faithful when it matters most.

There are moments when God speaks with clarity to His people-not to inform, but to awaken. This book carries that kind of urgency. It does not attempt to comfort a drifting Church, but to call it back-back to truth, back to conviction, and back to a life that reflects genuine surrender to Christ. Daryl does not write from a distance. This message is rooted in lived obedience, shaped through years of walking with God and refusing to settle for surface-level faith. What you will encounter in these pages is not opinion, but a call to alignment. A call to examine what has been tolerated, what has been compromised, and what must now be restored. This is not a book you simply read, it is one you respond to. If received with an open heart, it will challenge assumptions, confront complacency, and stir a deeper hunger for what is real. The hour we are in demands clarity, and this message meets that need with both conviction and grace.

God is awakening His Body across the world, and this book stands as a powerful testimony to that truth. The Holy Spirit has clearly stirred Daryl to remind us that our time on this side of eternity matters-that we are called to faithfully occupy what has been entrusted to us for the Master. This book will challenge you-your fear of God versus fear of man, obedience
