"This book, now better than ever, has no competition. No one has ever so ably, efficiently, and delightfully linked together the key personalities that portray so dynamically the story of the expansion of our faith from a handful of people in Jerusalem, to the very ends of the earth. It is a must-read for all serious believers." -- Ralph D. Winter, President, William Carey International University
