to have been a real

Daniel in the Den gets lots of press amongst our circles, and well it should. It contains everything you'd want in a good story: action, a duped king, evil minions, a test of faith, a miracle, a happy ending. My fear is that because it's in the OT, and because it's got all the hallmarks of a good story, and because it's so often told to youngsters early on like a fable, that it remains nothing more than a story.

It is a remarkable demonstration of the saving power of God in dramatic fashion. Would he shut a lion's mouth in this age? That's the thing, because you don't believe it. But it happens to missionaries all the time, this saving. And maybe that's what this faith needs.

Better PR.
