Interesting. It's easy to forget sometimes how easy we have things. We can believe in whatever we want, and no one will pull a gun on us. It's good to be reminded that sometimes people go through dire situations for their faith. Thanks for the review. Sounds inspiring.

I'm glad that this book has enlightened and inspired you so much. Although I am not religious, this book could be an eye-opener for what goes on in the head of a traveling missionary for me. Thanks for the honest review. :D

I love the fact that even though these are missionary stories, the underlying message is having faith and believing in God. This sounds like the kind of book all Christians should read and even those who aren't really religious. This might help to restore everyone's belief in a higher power.

As someone who went on a mission when I was a teenager, I think I would really enjoy reading about other mission experiences. I'm glad this one is well written and that the stories are meaningful. Great job on the review. I will definitely have to check this one out :)

Great review! The idea of a novel filled with multiple stories seems to be popular lately. To have one filled with missionary stories will be very encouraging. Not really my type of read, but I know many people that would pick this book up ten times over. Congrats on BOTD!

This book is certainly a fast paced series of stories of faith, with the missionaries going forth to other far places in order to spread the Good News and telling their stories of faith in God and being in contact with Him through their dreams. If the first section is that riveting, then I think the rest would be interesting, and uplifting, read as well. This book will definitely be in my want to read shelf. :tiphat:

Nice review. I like inspirational stories but religious are definitely not my take. Thanks for the review though.
