I bought these for my two sons ages 8 and 11. Little did I know that these simply written stories would be just as interesting for me! I heartily recommend these stories for the whole family -- the format lends itself easily to family study.
I could only find the boxed sets of these books at local bookstores. luckily sells them individually. They are rather short but good for the attention span of young boys. The stories are interesting and appropriate for maybe age 7or8 and up.
Ordered this for my 9-yr-old grandson who read it completely before putting it down!! It was refreshing to see Billy Graham included among the "10 boys" even though this is not a particularly religious book.
Great for reluctant readers. The chapters (individual stories) are short but very well written! I would recommend this for 2-5 grade boys!
Purchased this book because my son had a school project. It's a G rated version and presents highlights of the featured individuals lives. After researching the Internet, I realized how abbreviated this version is.
This is a great collection of stories about missionaries. Each story length was perfect. It took about 2 days to read each story and was interesting enough to keep my son's 8 year old attention.
Sounds like it could be a good book...bought it for my 7 yr. old grandson. However, I think it isgeared for a little older reader. He read the first story in the book, but hasn't continued on with it...whichtells me it was a little too soon to give to him. He's a really good reader, but this didn't quite capturehis interest, as of yet. It did arrive in a timely manner...so thank you to the seller.
The stories are easy enough for elementary students to read. The biographies are not very long but offer enough insight into the life of that individual. The thing I liked best about each "biography" is at the conclusion of each story they first provide you with a special fact that relates to the individual's story and then sums up that person's life and ties in how that person's life was used by God. In addition, at the end of all of the biographies there is a short reading comprehension quiz covering each of the individuals covered in the book. I would highly recommend this book.
