CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Customer Rating:
Summary: Informative, Entertaining and Eloquent
Comment: The book is well organized and easy to use. The content is well researched and concise without feeling rushed and choppy. In stark contrast to most surveys of missiological history, the author actually keeps her audience's attention from front to back. Also a contrast to many missions biographies, Tucker finds the balance between a book that reads like fiction and one that reads like an encyclopedia, and is both entertaining and informative. It is undeniably a laudable effort. Logistically, the hard back is surprisingly light for its size and travels well in packs of many sizes without taking over all the space.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent book, new edition lacks some original material
Comment: This is an excellent and engaging book about the history of Christian missions. It is composed of short biographies of missionaries (a few pages each) arranged in topical chapters (about certain areas of the world, or movements). This format makes it easy to pick up the book and read a few pages or chapters anywhere in the book.

The book covers missions from all over the world and from every denomination. It is refreshing to read the biographies because they show both sides of each missionary. Tucker writes about the accomplishments as well as the flaws of everyday missionaries and well-known heros alike.

I read parts of the original edition of this book earlier this year, which prompted me to buy my own copy. However I was disappointed to find some changes in the new edition. I don't have the original edition now, so I can't pinpoint all of the changes. I do know that a chapter I was looking forward to reading (about Bible translation) was gone.

Even so, this is an excellent book and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about the history of missions. It would be a great addition to any church (or personal) library.

Summary: Brad's review
Comment: From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya: A Biographical History of Christian Missions

I got this book for some ministry training--and it's a fantastic overview of Christian Missions all over the world. You can read sections at a time & not have to read the whole thing (it's large). It gives a great fly-by of these men & women. I encourage anyone interested in missions or world evangelism to check it out.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A great overview of world missions history
Comment: I am not a history reader by choice, but this book makes it easy to track the development of the major missional keys to the advance of the gospel from Jesus to now.
