The book of Daniel is full of practical help - especially for believers who find themselves standing alone in the classroom or at work, or among their family and friends. Daniel tells us how to remain true to God in a hostile environment, and shows us how to live for him when everything is against us. Daniel dared to stand alone. So can we. Dare to stand alone is a masterpiece of clear, helpful applied writing and causes the book of Daniel to be living and relevant not only in its exciting narrative section but in its highly symbolic section also.
Born into a family with a strong, radical dissenting tradition in which enterprise and public service were combined, Tony Benn was taught to believe that the greatest sin in life was to waste time and money. Life in his Victorian-Edwardian family home in Westminster was characterised by austerity, the last vestiges of domestic service, the profound influence of his mother, a dedicated Christian and feminist, and his colourful and courageous father, elected as a Liberal MP in 1906 and later serving in Labour Cabinets under Ramsay MacDonald and Clem Atlee. Benn followed in his father's footsteps, becoming one of the most famous and respected figures in modern British politics. Dare to be a Daniel feelingly recalls Tony Benn's years as one of three brothers experiencing life in the nursery, the agonies of adolescence and of school, where boys were taught to 'keep their minds clean' and the shadow of fascism and the Second World War with its disruption and family loss. This moving memoir also describes his emergence from World War Two as a keen socialist about to embark upon marriage and an unknown political future. The book ends with some of Tony Benn's reflections on many of the most important and controversial issues of our time.
This warm, affectionate and funny memoir reveals how the former Labour Cabinet Minister s ideals grew out of the extraordinary late-Victorian/Edwardian world of his parents, and how he developed his convictions and world-view."

Learn from the book of Daniel how to live confidently for Christ today. What does it look like to live with joy in a society that does not like what Christians believe, say or do? It’s tempting to grow angry, keep our heads down, retreat or just give up altogether. But this isn’t the first time that God’s people have had to learn how to live in a pagan world that opposes God’s rule. 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 may 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.
Daniel is 35, successful, a high level professional and an accomplished academic - yet he is also a virgin, who fears that he will spend the rest of his life alone. More importantly, Daniel has existed in an emotional bubble all of his life, and has had no intimate friendships. In other words, he is not fully alive, and seeks psychotherapy because he is haunted by not understanding what is wrong with him. He is attractive to women, yet as soon as a woman tries to get close to him, he runs away. Lacking an inner foundation, he fears that women will annihilate him, like his overbearing mother who abused him as a child. Quite simply, this book is an unprecedented achievement, taking the reader into actual psychoanalytic sessions and sharing with the reader Michael Shoshani Rosenbaum’s dialogues with Daniel, vividly illustrating his pain and struggle to transcend his existential plight. Furthermore, as the author of two sections of the book, Daniel himself provides a rare, insightful view from the other side of the couch, illuminating the challenge and change experienced within the other half of the therapeutic relationship. It is a compelling psychological adventure, fusing together the intimacy of the therapy with an account of the revolutionary changes that have occurred in the practice of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis over the last decades. Daniel is like no one else, and yet he is everyone, making this book a must for every person searching for self-knowledge, allowing the reader to identify with Daniel and his struggle to become human.
An awakening call to all Christians to prove the omnipotence of our God to the world as we manifest excellent wisdom, provide solutions to teething national and international problems and carry out spectacular exploits that would compel unbelievers to fear God, acknowledge His sovereignty, bow down to worship His majesty and come to the realization that the Most High God rules in the kingdom and affairs of men. This is the challenge that the life and ministry of Daniel pose to Christians today. Imagine a scenario where the king of the most powerful and dreadful nation of that time fell down prostrate, before the young captive Daniel. The king literally idolized him, ordered that an offering of incense be made to Daniel, and exclaimed reverently; “Truly, your God is the God of gods, the Lord of kings and the Revealer of Secrets”. All these happened because to the utter dismay of king Nebuchadnezzar, Daniel, through prayer and God’s gifts revealed and interpreted the king’s untold dream. By this feat, Daniel and his friends were greatly promoted while God’s name was highly glorified and honoured. God made them to excel far above their colleagues. This book further makes us to appreciate that with an adequate knowledge of our God, a readiness to please Him by keeping ourselves pure, a rugged faith, and an unwavering loyalty to Him, there is no limit to which God can use our lives and ministries to prove His majesty, just as He did through Daniel and his companions. By manifesting these traits, the burning furnace was turned to an air-conditioner and the mouths of dreadful lions were locked. This book encourages Christians from all walks of life to prayerfully demonstrate these traits as Daniel did, so that we can impact the world around us positively for God. This book is an expository on how Christians can receive divine guidance regularly and specifically as it carefully unveils the requisite processes, e.g. through God’s Word, by Spirit-filled Counsellors, and overwhelmingly by the Holy Spirit. The author shares his own practical experiences in these regards. It reveals how parents can develop intimacy with their children that would enhance winning them for Christ and help them to fulfil destiny. This is an inevitable book for all who desire excellence in life and ministry as it systematically details the divine steps for the attainment and maintenance of excellence in these respects. The book should be a hot-cake for genuine result-oriented intercessors, as it uses Daniel’s life to expound on how to become an excellent intercessor. Through rugged faith in God, coupled with unrelenting prayers, a Christian can always emerge victorious over fierce trials and enemy gang-ups, to bring glory to God’s Name. This book can be rightly described as a handbook for Christian youths as well as an important guidebook for all Christians. Through the help of the Holy Spirit, it offers in-depth details on: how Christian youths can positively use their energy without manifesting youthful exuberance, conduct themselves wisely in the fear of God, do exercises towards righteousness, be on fire for the Lord and yet be humble and obedient. It shows how they can choose godly companions, become responsible and respectable in the community and in the Church, soar into prominence, and fulfill their God ordained destinies in life. A reviewer described it as a ‘book that is conceived from the womb of the Holy Spirit, timely, apt, and heart-warming.’ Another reviewer referred to it as, ‘an exquisite treasure, a compendium of sorts, from being a Bible study material, a book replete with life cum personal experiences, a prayer manual, and a visibly recognized Holy Spirit inspired Ministry Instruction Manual. The prayer box at the end of each chapter provides a set of prayers, which if thoroughly applied would surely transform the reader into a Daniel in his or her operational base, be it at home, school, work place, church or the society at large.
