Now you’ve made my evening reading! Maybe I will have an opinion about it.
 
Great book! Is not in my Douay Rheims Bible but it is on my orthodox Bible apps. Daniel I know it means in Hebrew - “God will be my judge”. Like in the story, God judged and through the eyes of the infant Daniel - vision if baby Jesus - delivered the right the judgement.
What it taught me - do not fear being judged even by scholar elders, God will judged in full knowledge on the truth. Or…fear that. 😊
God bless you! Thank you for the inspiration you gave me. Fear nothing but God’s Judgement for He finds the Truth from everyone.
God bless.
 
Which one? 1 and 2 Maccabees are in Catholic Bibles and Orthodox Bibles. 3 Maccabees is in Orthodox Bibles and 4 Maccabees in an appendix to the Greek Bible.

All of them are being included in more recent Bibles that are called " common Bibles" which make it possible for all religious traditions to be able to use it, whether Protestant, Catholic, Anglican, or Orthodox.
The NRSV w the deuterocanonical books is a great example.
 
I’d say Leviticus, but I read it three times all the way through, voluntarily. It’s hard to read.
 
I don’t know if I’d say most.

But.

Jude.

It is really short and there is a lot of cool stuff in it. Ntm his patronage and who he is.
 
The book of Habakkuk. It shows the holiness of God and it’s enough to make me tremble.

The Book of Susanna! I think it’s maybe because it’s so short?

Strictly speaking, Susanna isn’t a separate book. It’s part of Daniel. Catholic Bibles usually print the longer (Greek) version of Daniel while Protestant Bibles use the shorter (Hebrew) version. In the online NABRE Bible at the USCCB website, the Susanna story appears as Chapter 13 of Daniel:


Some Protestant Bibles, in addition to their (shorter) OT and the NT, also include in a separate section the deuterocanonical books, which they call the “Apocrypha.” The three missing bits of Daniel are then put in this section, usually under the titles The Song of the Three Young Men, Susanna, and Bel and the Dragon.
