It's a bit fun to find a really good, really unusual source for anything.  In this particular case, I was reading a Tim LaHaye book, The Europa Conspiracy.  If you know anything about Tim LaHaye, then you know he writes about prophecy.

Well, it just so happened that we were studying Daniel and the Lion's Den.  In his book, Tim LaHaye had a dual story going, one of which was a dramatization of Daniel, by Daniel.  It was in italics so easy to pull out from the rest.  It was only 10-12 pages in all.  It was very scripturally accurate, as well as historically well told. 

The drama of it and the more detail interactions with Belshazzar and the lions, was really enthralling!  And I learned something--Daniel was in his 80's!  I've always "seen", in Sunday School lessons, him tossed in the den as a boy!  I guess that's sort of like the hilariously, bad pictures of Noah's Ark we usually put before our kids.

Son really enjoyed reading this "drama".  Of course, using voice and posture while reading something of this nature, truly makes him sit on the edge of his seat.

The entire book was very good.  It is the third in a series, Babylon Rising.  I believe there were sub-plots in the other books, too.  But teaching my kid out of it, never crossed my mind!

So, unusual source, fun lesson!
