Book of Daniel

The Book of Daniel is a book in the Bible that tells the stories of how God looked out for two people named Daniel and his friends Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. It tells how they were brave and wise and God used them to do amazing things. It tells of how they were taken away from their homes and put into a foreign land, but still they chose to obey God, trust in Him and respect the laws of their new homeland. Daniel and his friends were put in jail and faced death, but through God’s power they were saved and found great favor and blessings in the court of Nebuchadnezzar, who was the king where they lived. In the end, God showed them that He is always in control, and He will always be there for His people if they stand strong and trust Him.
