Each "chapter" is short (ranging from just under a page to about two pages in length), just right for the attention span of younger children.
The stories are told chronologically, beginning with four narratives based on biblical passages, then continue on to some very early missionaries during the first few centuries of the Church. It continues by focusing on various regions of the world and tells stories (again chronologically) of laudable individuals--some well-known and other simply "regular people" on into the late 20th century. The regions covered are Europe, India, China, Southeast Asia, Japan, Taiwan, Africa, Latin America and North America.
Another thing I just love about this book is that it doesn't merely focus on people from Western nations, but also includes stories of individuals from a number of Third World cultures who have played a vital part in reaching the Lost in their part of the world. Additionally, the people covered are from a variety of Christian backgrounds.
If you have a heart for the world and want to pass that on to your young children, this book is a good starting point. ( )
