A Company of Heroes: Portraits From the Gospel's Global Advance

This is one of my favorite books. Part journal, part mission history, it seeks to integrate the stories of some missionaries with God's wider purposes in the grand task of calling a people to himself. Keesee has a knack for writing in a clear and engaging manner. Highly recommended!

This is a book with diary entries of a missions journalist. \\nI like that it covered many different stories (including the authors personal life too). All the missionary stories were friends of the author as he was taken around to typical days of their lives. \\n\\nIt's refreshing to read a book like this just for the fact that it is current, and it helps the reader get a sense of the work that is happenning around the world for the gospel of Jesus. Sometimes reading older missionary stories we can feel a bit detached due to being in a different era. Each portrait is by no means detailed and you don't get to know too much about each person or country but this glimpse is enough to enlarge our view of gospel work around the world. \\n\\nIt's a quick and easy read but challenging as we see the sacrifices and lives that real people have made and are making in the world right now.
