The Daniel Dilemma

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

By: Chris Hodges

Narrated by: Mark Smeby

We have real hope we’re called to share. But how we share it makes a difference.

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 this eye-opening new book, 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 scripture and seasoned with Hodges’ candid personal insights, The Daniel Dilemma shows us that standing for truth isn’t about winning the argument; it’s about winning hearts. And 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; and 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.

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 book!

This book provided a great balance on being effective with grace and truth sighing this world. If I didn’t take anything else from it, we have to be apart of the world with our influence but not deeply planted here with our heart.

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.

Practical faith focused advice

Good book, calls you to first honestly examine your faith before you can effectively live a godly life. It also gives practical advice on how best to reach and relate to people who may not share the same beliefs

A must read for today's age

really enjoyed the narrator and couldn't stop listening. I was taken by the story and the message

Phenomenal!

The wisdom & challenge Chris Hodges offers in this book is a must read/hear for all Christians. The way he relates Daniel's story while he was held captive to the way we seem to be held captive by this sinful world is so encouraging. The reader presents the book in a comfortable natural flow. So entertaining, & yet so challenging to step up & stand for truth.

Deep and easy to understand!!

Great book for anyone- non believers, believers that just started the faith journey, and old believers that has been in a journey for while- it helps us to be a good influence without compromising our faith.
