Customer Reviews
Since it is in audio format, some of the introductory information at the beginning of each chapter can blend together and be harder to grasp while listening. For this reason, I recommend using the physical book alongside the audiobook. Overall, depending on the content of each missionary’s story, I would recommend this audiobook for elementary-aged students through adults.
I did want to make note that I found a few important details missing in at least one of the accounts ( I wrote more details in the review of the text version of the book). Also, the narrators pronunciation of some of the regional locations and government figures are not consistent. Other than those minor issues, I still enjoyed the audiobook version of this book. Thank you MB for putting out this faith-building series!
We appreciated how the stories highlight courage, obedience, and trust in God without being overwhelming or overly graphic. The audio format worked well for car rides and quiet afternoons and sparked meaningful conversations about missions, service, and faith in action.
This audiobook is a wonderful option for families who want to introduce missionary history in a Christ-centered, age-appropriate way while also nurturing a heart for the Great Commission.
As to the audiobook, it is very understandable, but it does blend paragraphs and thoughts together. For example, each chapter starts with the missionaries name, a verse, and important locations in their life. It is hard to tell when a verse stops or ends and whether the description of the town is the town just named or the town about to be named. Some towns are mispronounced, for example Edinburgh. Since it was an important location in the story of Eric Liddell the name of the town was said multiple times.
My son does like to listen to the audio as he follows along in the book. (He has mentioned the wrong name thing as well.)
Good stories, but the audio is a supplement and I don't see it as a stand alone away from the reading book (digital or physical).
