Other editions of book Daniel, the Dreamer

Together with three trusted friends, Daniel is taken into service in the court of the wicked King Nebuchadnezzar. When the king threatens to kill all sages and magicians in his kingdom following the failure of their kind to tell him what he had dreamed, Daniel bravely offers to face the king. Through some fancy footwork and close listening to God, brave Daniel wins over the king and rises to high office, while attracting the jealousy of others who are commanded to serve under him. A devious plot sees Daniel condemned to die in a den of lions. Will God save him from his terrifying prospect? And what will become of those who scheme against him? This delightful retelling of the classic bible tale is told in the spirit of the countless storytellers who have enthralled audiences young and old throughout the centuries. This tale is one of the series, "Bible Stories Shorts", and is also available with the collected other stories as part of "Tales of Old, Stories from The Old Testament". Praise for "Tales of Old, Stories from The Old Testament": "The tales from the Old Testament are as familiar and comfortable as pot roast for Sunday dinner, yet these are new and fresh in lively retellings by Clive Johnson. Using great storytelling techniques and modern language, Johnson makes these tales nearly dance off the pages." (San Francisco Book Review) "…Accessible, enlightening pieces that lend to read-aloud drama, bringing to life not just the tales but their underlying lessons. These stories don't just lend to read-aloud, but beg to be performed." (Midwest Book Review) "A read-aloud compilation for children and adults...encouraging a revival of the oral tradition of storytelling." (BlueInk Review) “…Embracing drama and adventure, but adding the moral, ethical, and spiritual flourishes necessary to open dialogues about the Bible's underlying lessons, making them far more than just a rehash of the originals." (Midwest Book Review) "Using simple language and vivid imagery, including perspectives on each story’s meaning or lesson...illuminating the modern relevance of these ancient writings." (BlueInk Review) "Christians who look for a better way of imparting these complex messages to a younger audience than is typical for these Old Testament stories will find Tales Of Old, Stories From the Old Testament just the ticket for family enjoyment." (Midwest Book Review)
