Daniel

"Daniel: The Man Who Walked Against the World" traces the journey of a Jewish exile whose steadfast devotion and prophetic courage transformed empires and offers a blueprint for believers today. From refusing royal delicacies in Babylon to praying under threat of lions, Daniel's life models how private disciplines-anchored in Scripture, fasting, lament, and corporate prayer-fuel public witness. His interpretations of dreams and visions, delivered without compromise, reshaped palace policies, protected conscience rights, and foreshadowed Christ's coming reign. The book explores how Daniel's rhythms of resistance apply to modern challenges: navigating secular relativism, upholding sexual ethics with compassion, resisting digital conformity, practicing financial integrity, and bridging political divides. It highlights the power of countercultural communities-cultivating intergenerational mentorship, missional hospitality, and covenantal rules of life-to sustain hope amid systemic pressure. Through apocalyptic visions of beasts, the Ancient of Days, and the Son of Man, readers discover that every trial participates in a grand narrative of divine justice and ultimate restoration. Grounded in Daniel's example, the narrative equips contemporary exiles to live with Maranatha expectancy, embody kingdom values in workplaces and neighborhoods, and anticipate a kingdom that will never be shaken. This concise yet panoramic portrait invites readers to walk faithfully against the currents of their age, confident that God's purposes prevail even when the world demands conformity.
