Synopsis

How can we be faithful to God in a non-Christian society without compromising our beliefs? How can we resist the pressure to conform?lt;br gt;lt;br gt;This 6-week study guide looks at Daniel's life; the story is set in a time when the Israelites were in exile in Babylon. They were wondering how they could still be God's people in a foreign land; how could they serve God when all the props their faith relied on had been removed?lt;br gt;lt;br gt;We face a similar dilemma in the twenty-first century. Daniel's story reminds us that we can make a positive contribution to society and preserve the integrity of faith.
