They were living in captivity. Yet from the ashes, God raised up two key figures to preserve the Jewish race.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDaniel was among the first of the captives carried away by the Babylonians. Although he lived in a culture opposed to God, he was always faithful to the Lord - even in the face of death - and ultimately was able to influence kings and rulers. Esther was in exile during the time of the Persian Empire. Like Daniel, the Lord also placed her in a position to influence those in power. God also called her to step out in faith and risk her life to foil a plot against her people. As a result of her bold actions, the entire Jewish race was saved from annihilation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs you read, study, journal, and discuss the books of Daniel and Esther, watch for these \u003cem\u003ekey themes\u003c\/em\u003e that Max will unpack throughout the book: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGod leads in our lives even in difficult circumstances.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSometimes faithfulness is rewarded by miracles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGod will be faithful to his people in the future as he has in the past.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Life Lessons with Max Lucado series\u003c\/strong\u003e brings the Bible to life in twelve lessons filled with intriguing questions, inspirational stories, and poignant reflections to take you deeper into God's Word.
