The Journey of Daniel - For Youngsters

From a young exile in Babylon to a faithful servant of God entrusted with extraordinary visions of the future, discover the remarkable journey of Daniel. The Journey of Daniel for Youngsters brings the book of Daniel to life for young readers, following Daniel and his friends through danger, powerful kingdoms, remarkable miracles and some of the Bible’s most fascinating prophecies. Taken from Jerusalem into captivity, Daniel finds himself surrounded by a foreign culture determined to reshape his identity. Together with Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, he must learn what it means to remain faithful to God when obedience is difficult, unpopular — and sometimes dangerous. Readers follow the dramatic events of Daniel’s life: his refusal to defile himself with the king’s food, Nebuchadnezzar’s mysterious dream, the enormous golden image, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the fiery furnace, the writing on the wall, the fall of Babylon, the plot against Daniel and his night among the lions. But Daniel’s story does not end at the lions’ den. The book also introduces young readers to the visions and prophecies that make Daniel such an important part of Scripture — including the great image of successive kingdoms, the four beasts, the ram and the goat, Gabriel’s message, events surrounding the time of the end, and the promise of God’s everlasting Kingdom. Throughout his long life, Daniel serves under different rulers and empires, yet his allegiance remains unchanged. Whether standing before kings, praying when prayer has been outlawed, interpreting dreams or struggling to understand visions of events far beyond his own lifetime, Daniel repeatedly demonstrates courage, integrity, prayerfulness and trust in God. Written by Christian children’s author Jamie Barker, founder of Gospel Growers, The Journey of Daniel encourages young readers not simply to know the famous stories, but to explore the wider book of Daniel and discover its message of faithfulness, hope and God’s purpose through history. Ideal for independent young readers, family reading, homeschool Bible study, Sunday schools, Bible classes and meaningful Christian gifts. A Bible-based journey through Daniel’s life and visions — created to be a doorway into Scripture, never a replacement for it.
