Missionary Stories

“Missionary Stories with the Millers”, by Mildred A. Martin! It is an amazing book, and sounds just like what you are needing! All of the “Millers” stories are good and worth getting! We just started this one with our family as a read aloud, and it is great so far! Hope that helps! You can order it from Rod and Staff….and I think Christian Light publications.

Maybe Amazon too!

A collection of stories make up a great book called The Adventure of missionary heroism:

And of course, Hero Tales vol.1-4

Also, Grace and Truth books have many missionary accounts. One series they have (timberdoodle may, too) is the Trailblazer series. Age appropriateness I don’t know.

Here’s one last selection of four books that are wonderful and right on age:

I was checking to find out if ya’ll can see my other previous posts on this strain. Before I register it’s not there, then when I register, it is. So I wanted to know if you saw it, too or if I should repost.

i love missionary stories w. the millers too. i highly recommend. Although pre-read them yourself depending on the age of the child. There were a few that were about subjects I was not ready to introduce DS to. But.. We were even reading the one about Jim Elliot and I thought (thru a brief pre-reading) that it was not THE story- but it was THE story of him and he died. And my 7 year old boy and i had such a wonderful discussion… it was incredible. I think God blinded my eyes as i was pre-reading because I am not sure i would have read that to him. and it was so worthwhile!

You’re so very welcome!

Another missionary book crossed my path. In the Old Schoolhouse mag. there was a card advertising a book from Gospel for Asia. It’s called “Even Donkey’s Speak & other Stories of God’s Miracles in Asia”. It’s directed to ages 7-12. It’s only 7.99. we haven’t started reading it yet, but you can also incorporate geography with it, too as there is a map w/each new story..

We’ve liked starting w/the Hero Tales series. It’s a great intro. w/questions at the end and a bible verse (which I prefer to look it up personally because I can’t stand partial verses!). I’ve heard similar stories about Missionary… Millers. That it was good, but had to be edited depending on the ages of the children and personal views, but good stuff just the same.

Also, you could have your 8 yr. old read an account on her own. For personal reading The Adventures from around the World series is age 7-12 (at Timberdoodle and G & T and Amazon )and the Trailblazer series is 9+ (if she reads on that level, the words are sorta small, though). The Jungle Doctor series is 10-12. If you go to the Timberdoodle site, you can request a catalog, then you can see all their missionary and devotional books. Grace and Truth had many, too. The links are above. I like G & T, alot of great books to choose from, not just missions but much in character training.

Timberdoodle has a new missionary story from Iran; “Tales of Persia” for 9 and up. I received a YWAM catalog the other day and as Cheryl mentioned, they have wonderful missionary biographies; lotsa meat in them. Maybe you could get a catalog from them as well.
