Embrace the ultimate challenge of faith by surrendering fear and complacency to live a life compelled by the love of Christ.

Imagine standing at a crossroads, where you must choose between boldly living out your faith or staying in your comfort zone. These pivotal instances—middle moments—define your spiritual journey.

Emma Mae McDaniel learned firsthand about middle moments in high school when one cruel social media post led to years of online torment, forcing her to decide whether to conform to others’ expectations or to embrace her God-given identity.

In The Girl in the Middle, McDaniel uses her journey to show you how to grow in faith and find strength in the face of your own adversity. Learn to:

• live with unwavering confidence in Christ, whether you face criticism or praise
• identify moments when you choose comfort over following Jesus
• make faith the joyful cornerstone of your everyday life

This testament to the power of living courageously for God amid hardship, disapproval, and the unknown will inspire you to actively live out your faith, letting God have the final say.
Emma Mae McDaniel is an author, the founder of Compelled Ministries, and the host of the weekly Have You Heard? podcast, with over five million listens. Traveling to speak God’s Word is one of her greatest joys, and she stewards her social media platform to reach and encourage people all over the globe. McDaniel lives in Arkansas with her husband, Josh, and their daughter. View titles by Emma Mae McDaniel
