The Daniel Dilemma

How to Stand Firm and Love Well in a Culture of Compromise

By: Chris Hodges

Narrated by: Mark Smeby

Christians today face a dilemma: in a world that seems to reject everything we believe, how do we walk closely with God without caving to pressure or alienating those we hope to reach?

In The Daniel Dilemma, Chris Hodges provides a solution by examining the life of the prophet Daniel, who persevered in a corrupt culture that closely resembles our own--and emerged as an influential force in God's redemptive plan.

Full of timeless scripture and Hodges' candid personal insights, The Daniel Dilemma shows us that standing for truth isn't about winning the argument; it's about winning hearts. When we learn the secret of connecting before correcting, we discover that we can:

• Hold firmly to biblical beliefs without becoming obnoxious, insulting, or mad
• Stand strong while loving others well
• Respond to today's hard questions without compromising grace or truth

With fresh insights and practical ideas, Hodges encourages Christians struggling with our cultural reality to hold God's standards high and his grace deep--just as Jesus did, and just as his followers today are called to do.

Praise for The Daniel Dilemma:

"This is one of the most needed messages of our time. Pastor Chris has wisely penned these words with solid truth and tender grace. He brings us back to what God's Word says regarding the cultural issues we’re all wrestling with as Christians."

--Lysa TerKeurst, New York Times bestselling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries

"Like the prophet Daniel's beacon from Babylon, Chris Hodges offers us a wake-up call to shake off the cultural idolatry around us and instead stand firm in our faith. This book displays all the things I love about Chris--his honesty and humor, his practical approach and devotion to God's Word--this is his best yet!"

--Christine Caine, founder of A21 and Propel Women

amazing book

so we'll written! perfect for the to me we live in. go out and be a blessing y'all
let Love win

OUTSTANDING

This book is so right on. He is relevant, compassionate, urgent and persuasive. This book would be a good book to complement Beth Moore's study on Babylon. Too many Christians have become lukewarm in their faith and have allowed the world to transform them. It's time for Christians to rise up and be the church that Christ called us to be.

Excellent read

Pastor Hodges explains every detail to give you the most understanding of Daniel that you could have. Listening to it and reading along helped me to get the most out of the book. I would suggest it to anyone.

Great story

Love how much he spent attention to detail when it comes to books about the Bible you have to be thorough and he did just that

Easy to use, but...

I would have liked to read the words along with the audible, or at least have the option to. Other than that I loved it.
