In the Court of the King - Captivity and Release, #1

Captured from Jerusalem as a teenager and taken to a foreign country teeming with wealth and hedonism, whose king thinks he is a god, Daniel has a choice. Will he cling to the values he has been taught? Why not acquiesce to his captors, go with the flow in morality, and toss his strict Hebrew belief in an omniscient God? This choice haunts Daniel for the 70 years he serves four different Babylonian and Persian monarchs.
When he finally learns that the time of captivity is over, will he still want to go home to Jerusalem?These stories from the book of Daniel show what it means to take a stand against compromise, intimidation, and raw fear. They are told chronologically as Daniel serves under Kings Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, Darius, and Cyrus, the King of Persia. Daniel's life gives us a picture of how to live in a world hostile to one's beliefs.
God's ministry to Daniel is witnessed in Daniel's unique ability to interpret dreams, read the mysterious handwriting on the wall, and record frightening visions regarding the future. In the Court of the King uniquely fills the gap between children's Bible stories and adult Bible study.
