 Best Book of Missionary Tales October 14, 2007
K. A. Alphs (USA)

This series is the best series I have read on the topic of missionary tales. Dave and Neta Jackson have done an outstanding job of researching their topic. The stories feature lives of ordinary individuals who heard God's call on their lives and responded. You and your family will read about Gladys Aylward, William and Catherine Booth, David Livingstone and many others in this exciting series. We are using this series along with our unit study of "Galloping the Globe".

This is a good book to give an overview of several different key influencial individuals to the Christian Faith. It is written from a Protestant perspective regarding Martin Luther, William Tyndale, etc. It is probably best suited for kids age 7+ on to adults who want a quick, simplified summary of these individuals. For each person there is a summary, and then two-three 1-2 page stories regarding their lives. It also includes comprehension questions for each story which seem to help my girls solidify what they learned. Though many stories are quite interesting, some of the stories can be a bit dull to a child waiting for an exciting story. So, in order to keep my children's interest I often read it to them with animation, but I still see it as a very valuable book for us to have.
