Description

In this realistic yet positive book, renowned Bible teacher Alistair Begg examines the first seven chapters of Daniel to show us how to live bravely, confidently and obediently in an increasingly secular society.

Readers will see that God is powerful and God is sovereign, and even in the face of circumstances that appear to be prevailing against his people, we can trust him entirely. We can be as brave as Daniel if we have faith in Daniel’s God!

“The message of Daniel is incredibly relevant for us in our generation. Not because it maps out a strategy for how to deal with our new lack of status ... or because Daniel was a great man and we need to follow his example. The reason is that it will help us to believe in Daniel’s God.” Alistair Begg, author.

Listen to a list of encouraging hymns selected by Alistair.

Here is an ideal combination: one of today’s stand-out gospel communicators reflecting on the life, wisdom, and sheer guts of Daniel, one of yesterday’s outstanding heroes of the faith. With clarity and grace, courage is laid bare as one of our great needs today. 'Brave by Faith' is certain to challenge and encourage Christians of every age and at every stage in life. A book for our times!”

Dave Gobbett

Lead Minister, Highfields Church, Cardiff

Brave by Faith brings familiar chapters to life in a fresh way and is a timely shot of gospel-fuelled conviction in our arms. Navigating faithful discipleship through the choppy waters of the early twenty-first century feels harder than ever. But the church has been in exile before. The remarkable lives of Daniel and his three friends—and their even more remarkable God—are testimony to the fact that the throne of the Lord Jesus will 'never, like earth's proud empires, pass away.'

Ellen Vaughn

New York Times bestselling author; Author, Becoming Elisabeth Elliot

This book could not be more timely. Alistair Begg beautifully paints the ancient biblical story of Daniel, equipping modern readers with enduring truth and courage to live well in grim times. And he gives us a winsome reminder of how our story will actually end.

"in the typical Begg-style, it is warm and crystal clear on the greatness of God"

Alistair Chalmers, 4 May 2021

In a time where Christians seem to be facing more hostility, the temptation might be to become angry or to hide. Neither responses are right, or God-glorifying. Begg takes the reader to some familiar chapters in the book of Daniel to help you see how amazing God is and the confidence that Christians can have because of Him.... continue reading

"As you go further reading the book, its gets better and better."

Nitoy Gonzales, 4 May 2021

You might find some of Begg's points to be the usual inspirational stuff. At first it feels like the usual spiritual encouragement you might have read in other books. However, as you continue to read Begg will give you clarity on who you are as a child of God and how powerful God can be despite tides rising against your faith. The part when Begg turns the discussion to discipleship and evangelism became the turning point of the book. This call into action is definitely a winner in this book.... continue reading

Jesus Reigns and Will Return

Aaron Lee, 11 May 2021

Begg helps us see that the whole life of Daniel was one long act of obedience. Daniel is well over 30 years old when he meets Belshazzar, and Daniel was 80 years old when he was thrown into the lion’s den. We see that God calls us to faithfulness throughout the duration of our lives. Begg brings us to Christ, and we remember the tomb of Jesus where he was delivered from death.... continue reading

“a great resource”

(Review written for 'Alistair Begg Book Bundle')

We bought a copy of Alister Begg Truth for Life. It is very interesting and excellent daily readings resource. Our only problem is the size of print. My wife and I are both in our eighties and find it rather difficult to read without extra lighting. I did check if there was a large print edition but without success.
Having said that it is still a great resource and would certainly recommend it.

“Thought provoking”

(Review written for 'Alistair Begg Book Bundle')

I bought this as I was given Alister beggs second book as a Christmas present. The daily thought with accompanying bible verse is good, there is also a bible reading at the end of the devotional, which relates to your daily reading. I love the read through the bible in a year also and various quotes in the daily reading you can look up. With the book you get an option of an e book version. I downloaded it to my tablet and use it while on holiday or away. Overall a very good book recommend it to anyone.

“Gift”

(Review written for 'Alistair Begg Book Bundle')

This book was a gift. It was delightfully received as they had used volume 1 previously. Dealing with this company is always easy and trouble free.

“Brilliantly clear focus and practical.”

(Review written for 'Alistair Begg Book Bundle')

So delighted with this book.
Clear daily exposition of gospel truths written in such a way to support daily Bible reading with helpful articulation of application points. I found it so helpful that I bought another copy of Volume 1 as a Christmas gift and gifted myself a copy of volume 3.

“Excellent”

(Review written for 'Alistair Begg Book Bundle')

I was given Book 2 as a present, I bought Book 1 for myself, and bought it again to give as a present. The daily reads are such concise, yet spiritual 'nuggets' which bless each day

“Both challenging and deeply encouraging in its unpacking of God's truth”

(Review written for 'Alistair Begg Book Bundle')

This is an excellent devotional, and a wonderful counterpart to my reading of the whole Bible in a year. It focuses the mind and heart every day on an aspect of God's truth and/or character, nourishes the spirit, and leads directly into prayer. Thank you, Alistair.

“A great devotional!”

(Review written for 'Alistair Begg Book Bundle')

Very well thought out. I appreciate the citied scriptures throughout and the scripture at the bottom for further study. One thing that would be helpful is a bookmark that tells you what the 3 symbols mean, I forget then have to go back To the beginning of the book to remember what they mean.

“Truth for Life Volume Two”

(Review written for 'Alistair Begg Book Bundle')

I was given this book in 2022, asked for Volume One in 2023, and bought Vol 2 for a friend in 2024. I am re-reading Volume Two again now in 2025. That is how beneficial I feel these devotions are. Very easy to read too. Thank you

“Quality book and quality service”

(Review written for 'Alistair Begg Book Bundle')

I love Alistair's books. Quality man of God, quality, solid biblical teaching. Stayed the course!
This devotional no exception. Had his Vol 2 last year so wanted to get Vol 1 this year. Not disappointed.
And my confidence in Alastair has not wained despite current controversy, as I know the man's heart and stand on moral issues - much of current public criticism is unbalanced and out of context. Read his book Christian Manifesto to capture something of this man's heart.

“This really is "truth for life"!”

(Review written for 'Alistair Begg Book Bundle')

I chose this as a Christmas present and am enjoying it very much. It gives you a truth to get your teeth into and mull over during the day. I love the cross-references which link passages in a way that I might not have thought of and the extra passage to read also throws more light on the topic under discussion. I'm not convinced it would work for a new Christian or someone who doesn't know the Bible very well and so may not understand the context of the verse or verses being explained and applied or the cross-references. But if you're reasonably familiar with the Bible and want to deepen your understanding, this book is really good.
