5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for inspiring familes to pray and be mission-minded!, July 8, 2006

This review is from: Window on the World: When We Pray God Works (Hardcover)

The book features a different country on every 2 page spread. The pages are nice and thick and glossy. Great color all over with lots of photographs. Beautiful layout.

Each country is briefly desribed with the geography, culture, relative dynamics and, most importantly, how you can pray for that nation. A must-have book in your library.

Homeschool curriculum companies that use this book are SONLIGHT and MY FATHER'S WORLD.

I highly recommend this book to any christian- children and adults will enjoy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Our Favorite Book, March 28, 2007

This book has been on our Homeschool boockcase for the last two years. It is by far one of the favorites in our home. My son (10 years old) can tell us all about the beliefs of a people group without even opening the book. He will also pick a people group and make up his own stories and write them out. We bought this to use along with our prayer journal and devotions for our homeschool but it has been used for so much more. We now have Operation World by the same authors and are looking forward to exploring that next year.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good content, bad binding, December 29, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Window on the World: When We Pray God Works (Hardcover)

I just ordered this book for my wife for Christmas as a companion to Operation World. The content adds a more personal touch to the information in Operation World by allowing you to visualize some of the people and their culture. The only negative part was that the book was bound upside down and backwards. If you opened the book based on the direction of the cover you were looking at the end of the book upside down. Not really a big deal but a little annoying.
