Summary:
When his parents go on a trip, 6-year-old Devin (introduction Isaiah Smith) is too sad to say his prayers. To help him understand the importance of praying, Devin’s grandpa (Frank Gerrish) enlightens him with the story of Daniel and the Lions. Devin’s imagination brings to life the story of Daniel (Casey Elliott) and a trio of villains (Matthew Bellows, Jeff Stevens and Matt Dobson) who do everything they can to get rid of him. When they convince King Darius (George Dyer) to sign a degree that would put anyone who prays into a den of lions, and undaunted Daniel continues to pray not once, but three times a day. As Daniel faces the mighty Rex and six other very hungry lions (led by none other than Daniel Beck himself), he discovers just how important prayer can be.
