What a strange situation! A boy who is greatly loved by God and yet he is carried away from his homeland and becomes a captive and lives there for the rest of his life.
The book of Daniel! What a fascinating book is this book of Daniel! There have been many who have attacked the book of Daniel. Almost every book of the Bible has been attacked by the critics. But there are some books that have been the o ...
