This Old Testament book, author unknown, focuses on the life of Daniel, a young Jew taken into captivity in 6th century B.C. Through much distress, Daniel emphasizes that Yahweh will vindicate his people. His many stories teach us that men of faith can handle any adversity. One famous story is about his three friends, taken captive with him, who were bound and thrown into the fiery furnace for not worshipping the god of King Nebuchadnezzar. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego remained unhurt, walking about and singing blessings to the Lord.
