LIVING ADVENTURES FROM THE BIBLE, Volume 2: 1- THE LOST SHEEP ~ As night closed in on the lonely shepherd, he could see that one of his flock was missing.

But when Daniel refused to worship the King’s golden idols, Daniel was thrown into a den of lions. His life was saved because of his undying faith in God. 4- THE FIERY FURNACE ~ King Nebuchadnezzar also brought three friends of Daniel back to Babylon. Their names were Shadrach, Mesach and Abendego. And like Daniel they refused to worship the king’s golden idols, and were thrown into a fiery furnace, where the flames didn’t touch them because of their steadfast faith in God.

LIVING ADVENTURES FROM THE BIBLE, Volume 3: 1- THE TALENTS ~ A rich man once gave three of his servants gold coins called talents, so they could go out and set up a business of their own.
