Have you ever seen a secret message and wondered what it meant?
In The Writing on the Wall, children will be whisked away to a grand palace in the ancient city of Babylon. It was a place of giant walls, golden statues, and a very proud King named Belshazzar. But during a big, noisy feast, something incredible happened—a mysterious hand appeared and began to write secret words right on the palace wall!
A Royal Mystery with a Brave Hero This exciting retelling of Daniel 5 brings a "detective-style" Bible miracle to life for young readers. When none of the King’s wise men could solve the puzzle, they called for Daniel—a man known for his wisdom and his friendship with God. Children will watch as Daniel bravely tells the truth, even when the message is a difficult one. They will learn that God sees everything we do and that being a "Good King" (or a good kid!) starts with a humble and honest heart.
