How many boring, painful, missionary biography books have you made your kids read?! Me, too. The lives and adventures these heroes of the faith lived were anything but dull, however, the ‘reporting’ of their life stories is often dreary and lifeless. Well, this is one book that you and your kids are gonna find to be a real page-turner, not to mention, life-changing! It’s relevant, recent history and will capture your attention.
Everyone in the Mira house has or will be reading this and fyi, Daddy couldn’t put it down! (Let me know how you like it. I’d love to hear from you!)

Would an eight year-old like it, do you think?
Thanks,

Hi Donna, this would have to be left to your discretion of course, but there are some torture descriptions, etc., which could trouble the youngest, tender hearts…in retrospect, I should have put a qualifier on this Post. I just asked my 16 year old and he immediatlely responded with ‘12′ being a safe age for this one. In general, this is a mature story line and may not be able to be appreciated by pre-teens. Thanks so much for the question and for bringing up this excellent, important point! Blessings, Denise

Good book to wake up an adult, I was coming out of a very legalistic church when I read this, it was such a eye opener and opened my heart again to truly share the love of Christ with others.
