Ten different stories about how God works in the life of man. Learners from grades 5 and 6 can read this book. After each story, there is some extra information as facts, keynotes, a prayer, and something to think about. The book works well for learners to hear that God is working in people’s lives and introduces them to reading more about missionaries. Students in the Intermediate Phase need to read short stories, this book can be included for the boys (South Africa & Department of Basic Education, 2011b, p. 15).
