The Good News Must Go Out: True Stories of God at work in the Central African Republic (Hidden Heroes)

We love this story & all of the books in this series! I love to read them out loud for our whole family!

This is a powerful book, wonderful to help children see into the lives of missionaries, with stories that proclaim God's miraculous power in the lives of his people! Great for pointing young hearts to God! You'll be inspired too.

The book is for children, but good adult reading. The language takes you to another culture, making you feel like you were there. The characters were genuine and believable, yet special in their witness and ministry for God. I liked the thought questions for each chapter. Would be good read aloud book for a family, each chapter is a story bu itself.

A wonderful read-aloud for the whole family! At times we laughed (hard), we cried for joy, we looked at each other in awe. At one point during the reading our 13 year old boy asked, “Are there any more in this series? These are all true, right?” How glad we were to say, “Yes, and yes!” We definitely plan on getting the six Hidden Heroes books, and are looking forward to any new releases.This is a great collection of faith and character building stories, and I am at present talking to one of our local church libraries so they will get copies for their shelves, too.These true stories show how God is able to use any person willing to let him do so regardless of age, social standing, education, or wealth.I love the emphasis on the power of not just forgiving but loving your enemies, on how God works all things together for good, on humility, on trusting God, on not caring about the opinion of man, and the great showing of ‘God at work’!Be sure to check out the Hidden Heroes Missionary Stories website’s educator resource page! The resource page for this book has quite a few coloring pages up already, and there are plans for website links, maps, and a printable list of the Bible verses from this book in KJV.

Why would a family move to a village where cannibals live? Why would a water boy travel through the African jungle at night braving lions, cheetahs, and kidnappers? Here are thirteen stories of how God worked in Africa, through missionaries and natives, in spite of their fears. This exciting book is a perfect gift for any one who likes missionary stories and adventure. The back of the book includes a "Thinking Further" section with a Bible verse and questions for each chapter. It is perfect for bedtime read-aloud, or a discussion starter for family devotions. Easy to read and contains appropriate black and white illustrations. It is a great book for all ages. Buy a copy and see God's hand move in mighty ways through common people willing to obey Him.

(We were supplied with this book by the author)I read this book wondering if it may be useful someday for reading to my children. This book reads as an exposition of Margaret Nicoll Laird's life, that showcases her dependence upon God in the midst of very trying circumstances.I can easily say that this will most definitely need to be read to my future daughters. I say that because this book is written covering Margaret's life and was written from her perspective (I can easily see little girls joyfully entering into this book, whereas little boys attention may not be held.)Here in this book, many will read of an imperfect woman who yielded to God and saw his hand at work mightily. It will be a fine example to set before them as they mature in childhood.
