Dinner in the Lion's Den

When Daniel is thrown into a den of lions as his punishment for disobeying the King it looks as if his time at court is about to come to a messy end. But then a surprisingly playful angel comes on the scene. Adapted from a story in the popular Angels, Angels All Around, this is a fresh and fun look at a familiar Bible story. The presentation will appeal to fans of Hartman.
