I’ve been studying the Book of Daniel (again) in my weekly women’s Bible Study.
In the very first chapter we find Daniel, a young teenager who has been uprooted from his family and his homeland and brought to a foreign country with foreign people who speak a foreign language and exist in a foreign culture, standing firm. [...]
