Character Out of Chaos: Daring to Be a Daniel in Today's World

by David O. Dykes

Though remembered as an extraordinary prophet, Daniel was foremost an ordinary person. He knew the stresses of a demanding career, a liberal culture, and envious co-workers. No doubt, Daniel had a lion's share of trials. But it isn't the trials that make Daniel one to follow. It 's how he prepared for and dealt with those problems that count. It was his manner of living that changed a king's life. In Character Out of Chaos, David Dykes explores Daniel's convictions and looks at how to become a Daniel in today's world.
