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

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 madStand strong while loving others wellRespond to today's hard questions without compromising grace or truthWith 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
