The Book of Daniel
From Wikipedia: The Book of Daniel (דניאל) is a book in both the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) and the Christian Old Testament. Originally written in Hebrew and Aramaic, it is set during the Babylonian Captivity, a period when Jews were deported and exiled to Babylon following the Siege of Jerusalem of 597 BC. The book revolves around the figure of Daniel, an Israelite who becomes an adviser to Nebuchadnezzar, the ruler of Babylon from 605 to 562 BC.
Yes, the Book of Daniel deals with some very strange prophetic visions of the future, but it also deals with four young men who have been removed from their homeland, stripped of every privilege and right, and placed into a culture that goes against everything that they’ve been taught. Yet, these men somehow overcome and even rise to the top in honor, wisdom, and influence.
It’s an amazing story of overcoming every obstacle and hardship that happens in life and becoming the example and answer to those around you.
