Having survived an unpromising start as a displaced person, Daniel graduates at the top of his class. He excels as a civil servant, survives the palace politics, and goes on to become perhaps the most prominent mandarin of his era.

This book takes a keen interest in how Daniel learns and adapts, and especially in what he has to otter us as a managerial role model. Most interestingly, he handles his faith and work in a consistent way. And so he can move seamlessly from a secular career before the most powerful man in the world to become a visionary prophet and, eventually, to pray one of the most extraordinary intercessory prayers in the Bible.

Just as Daniel manages to unify his faith and job in a single life, and just as we receive the story and the visions in a single book, Going Global approaches Daniel's life and ministry as a single piece. It is a fascinating piece from an international administrator about events that stretch way into the future and extend to borders far, far away.
