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)

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.

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.

This book is life-changing. It is my 8 year old daughters favorite part of the school day, but I am learning as much, if not more, than she is from it. I am learning that the world is much larger than my city, my state, the US and even North America! There is a lot going on out there that I have been horribly blind to until now. This book is opening my eyes to the knowledge that EVERY person is a child of God and He loves and cares about each one. This book is causing me to have a new perspective of thankfulness about how fortunate my family is and daily I am reminded to be thankful for our health, our safety, our comfort and material provision, our food, clean water, all things I have taken for granted until now. We are very spoiled in this country and I think this book is an awesome tool for adults and children to foster a new way of thinking!

I saw this book at another homeschooling mom's house and I loved it, so I bought it for our family to use in our homeschooling curriculum this year. I am thankful that the book has such wonderful photographs. I think that the photos help to make the stories more real. I am also looking forward to being able to share information with my children about other ethnicities, religions, cultures and countries.

I love this book. It takes the focus off of us and encourages us to think about the rest of the world!
