Started reading this for morning time last week. We read one letter a day and then pray for those people to one day have a bible..krb 8/15/16

What a great way to introduce your children to a cultures around the world and have prayer points (including a bible in their own language) for each one. We also sometimes hear about the ongoing translation activities and hope a new version of the book will be needed soon.
Updated to add that I believe this book has been overcome by events as these cultures have received bibles in there langues. Hoping for a third printing with new cultures to pray for!

Colorfully illustrated with borders that pick up cultural themes, this book is ideal for introducing primary school children to different cultures and to prayer for people around the world. The text focuses on cultural aspects that will be of interest to children although the vocabulary will be stretching at times.

A great book that gives you a different people to pray over each week who doesn't have a bible in their own language.

I covered the last line of each page, and it made it a good book for us. The book gave interesting details of each group, but the last sentence was a call to prayer.
