Is your life different from what you thought it would be? Singing in, Babylon takes us on a practical, biblical, and hope-filled journey to finding purpose and staying faithful, even when life doesn't go as planned. Drawing on the remarkable biblical story of Daniel-who lived most of his life in circumstances he did not want-Jeff Lucas explores how to: Recognize the difference between our expectations and the Bible's expectations for a Christian life. Make sense of God's purpose in loss and disillusionment. Realize we live in the true kingdom, not the magic kingdom, without becoming cynical. How can we, like Daniel, follow God in the "Babylon" of living a life we would not have chosen? Singing in Babylon is a timely, provocative look at how to find genuine joy even in the midst of life's disappointments. Book jacket.
