Oh my goodness! I LOVED this book. I read it to my 9 1/2 yr old son as apart of our homeschool curriculum for the 1st quarter. I loved that it covered so many missionaries (23 all together), some we know and some new to us. There is 1 chapter per missionary, each chapter is no longer than 6 or 7 pages. At the beginning of each chapter the date of birth and death are given, as is what legacy they left and a quote from that missionary. This book is great introduction to each of these missionaries, alot of the chapters made us want to learn more about these missionaries. The chapters were basically a summary of each missionaries life from birth to death (or current works). I highly recommend this book for children 7 and up, it's an easy read for them either to listen to or to read themselves.

Sounds like a great book to add to MFW ECC next year since we'll be reading about different cultures & missionaries.
