Singing in Babylon: Finding Purpose in Life's Second Choices

Everyone has to live with second choices-events and circumstances that they would not choose, some trivial, some tragic. Daniel was a man whose life was filled with second choices, but he did more than just survive; he stayed faithful to God and thrived. So what is there to learn from his story in Scripture?Pastor and author Jeff Lucas challenges readers to ask, “How can we, like Daniel, be faithful in the ‘Babylon’ of second choices?” Down-to-earth but inspirational, Singing in Babylon explores how the reader, like Daniel, can find purpose and meaning in life’s second choices.Review“Impactful and timely, this book will help us navigate the new terrain we find ourselves in, and remind us that we are here for such a time, for such a place as this.” -- Mark Batterson, author and lead pastor of National Community Church“Practical, inspirational, and full of hope.” -- Sorted Magazine“Jeff understands and dispenses grace with passion, humor, and thoughtful content-a rare combination.” -- Phillip Yancey“This is such an important message for all those of us who sometimes fear that life is passing us by, that God’s best lies elsewhere, and that the pain in our past must inevitably diminish our destiny.
