Second Choice - Review

Daniel's Babylonian experience is most often associated with the notion of "No Compromise". Ironic, then, that Daniel's survival in exile depended as much on knowing when to compromise as when not to.

Viv Thomas's imaginative book explores the life of Daniel and the challenges it presents to us in the places and situations that compromise the perfect life we thought God guaranteed us.

We battle in the captivity of a 'Second Choice' environment. It is these very circumstances, Thomas argues, that bring us to maturity in Christ. Christian growth is negotiated in the dark alleys and bumpy lanes of real-world lives. Original, insightful and timely, Second Choice challenges triumphalist assumptions and offers wisdom and encouragement to real-world disciples. Excellent.
