Brave by Faith: God-Sized Confidence in a Post-Christian World

“The prevailing wind is no longer at the back of the sails of professing Bible-believing Christians. Indeed, the wind appears to be blowing hard behind the forces of secularism.” —Alistair Begg

The truth is and has always been that believers are strangers in and to this world. But as of recent years, we are now becoming a minority group in an increasingly secularized culture and discovering how it feels to be outsiders. It may be tempting to grow angry, keep your head down, or give up altogether. So the question is: What does it look like to live as a Christian in today’s non-Christian culture?

That’s what Alistair Begg addresses in his book Brave by Faith: God-Sized Confidence in a Post-Christian World. By drawing from the book of Daniel, Alistair compares our challenges to the ones that the prophet Daniel faced as he navigated the unbelieving world of ancient Babylon. How did God keep Daniel committed to Him? And what can we learn from his experience?

Brave by Faith will remind you that this isn’t the first time God’s people have had to live confidently and faithfully in a society that opposes the truths of His Word. You’ll be encouraged by God’s faithfulness to Daniel, by Daniel’s unwavering faith to God, and the truth that Daniel’s God is our God, and He will hold us close to the end—even when circumstances appear to prevail against us. We can be assured that God reigns supreme.
