From Captive to Delegate is the fifth book in The Crown Series and it's all about Daniel. This Bible hero lived at the time when God's judgment came down on the Jewish nation. The Babylonian Empire besieged Judah and took the people captive and then destroyed the land and everything in it including its temple. In captivity, Daniel lived through the rule of several kings and survived many horrific punishments that should have killed him-yet he lived to tell about them. Daniel endured some tragic circumstances in his youth as a captive, and he faced some traumatic challenges. Where many didn't survive the hardship, Daniel worked his way up to become not only a powerful authority in the Persian government but also a mighty prophet of God. This book holds all the same surprise, emotion, and adventure as every other book in this series. It's loaded with biblical truth, highlighted with God's power, and accented with a bit of humor because once again, Grandpa is reading it to his grandson who is full of questions. This book is written in a storybook format to enable children, new believers and readers of every age to understand who Daniel was and how God worked with him to save the nation of Israel. In fact, he not only saved Israel twice during his lifetime, but he also prophesied God's powerful message to prepare Israel for the future-a time that is now upon us as we watch Daniel's prophecy come to pass.
