MEN OF CHARACTER- Daniel: Standing Firm For God
This study digs deep into the story of Daniel, who, by the age of twenty, was second only to King Nebuchadnezzar in authority over the Babylonian empire. This book draws modern parallels with the remarkable true story of a young man torn away from his family, thrust into an alien land, and then revered as one of its great leaders. The story of Daniel's political and spiritual odyssey is one that still applies, even amidst our fast-paced society, and the words and deeds of this magnificent prophet can inspire the people of God.
