Profiting from the Prophets: Daniel–Part 1
The story of Daniel in Daniel 1, is a wonderfully encouraging and challenging story of commitment and courage. It is also a familiar story to many and often relegated to “it’s a kid’s story.” And yes, it should be taught to kids–not because it is simple or simplistic–but because it is profound. And though it …
