Daniel: Trusting the true hero

by Sean Michael Lucas

Dare to Trust in Daniel’s God! What brings you to the book of Daniel? Is it the moral example of Daniel and his robust faith? Or is it because you want to dig further into the prophetic material that speaks of the end times? Primarily the book tells you about Daniel’s God. Lucas suggests rather than daring to be a Daniel, we should dare to trust in Daniel’s God. This book will help you as you learn more about Daniel’s God and why you too can trust him in every circumstance. Daniel was called to be a blessing even in exile and to avoid defilement in a pagan world. Such is God’s call to you today so that you may honor God and put him first in your heart and life.

Reviews

[Mark A Powell · Rating 3 out of 5]

While many Christians are familiar with the stories of Daniel (lion’s den, king’s food, fiery furnace), all too often the emphasis is on emulating Daniel when it should be on looking to the character of a God who is faithful to His people, even amid difficulty. Lucas sadly stops short of fully exploring the prophetic nature of Daniel’s second half, but nevertheless shows how Daniel’s book anticipates Christ and encourages us to find our strength in Him.
