5.0 out of 5 stars NOT a new edition!! May 22, 2007

By Tammi Mossman

Format:Paperback

Though it says 2007, it's not a revised edition but has exactly the same information as the hardcover version I bought in 2002; no updates on major world events/changes, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. An excellent spiritual resource, as well as useful in teaching geography and cultures.

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

By fwa

Format: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!

(PS: the man that reviewed the 'book binding' above clearly received a defective book and should have returned it)

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

By B. Clune

Format:Hardcover

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.
