Mission in the Way of Daniel Review Quotes:
"Mission in the Way of Daniel draws insights from biblical and historical theology as a model for contemporary mission in the public square. From the life of Daniel, Smither shows how God uses grief (exile and suffering) and gifting (natural ability and divine power) to carry His message to the nations. Many (rightly) highlight Daniel’s faithful service, but the purpose of his suffering and service to exalt the supremacy of his God is often overlooked. Smither challenges us to consider how God wants to use the anguish and abilities in our lives to further His witness."

"This is a ground-breaking work of missional hermeneutics that offers thought-provoking assessments of the life, witness, and work of Daniel in the Hebrew Scriptures. Particularly striking is the scholarly integration of biblical theology of mission with a historical analysis of missions that speaks to our contemporary world."

"Smither takes the reader on a fascinating and insightful journey, beginning with the life and book of Daniel, and making stops along the way in Scripture, mission history, and the contemporary world, demonstrating how the qualities that Daniel possessed and exercised are essential qualities for fulfilling today’s mission as well. I heartily recommend this book for Christians who already have a passion for missions as well as for those who are seeking to be more relevant and fruitful in God’s mission to transform their neighbors and the nations for His glory."
