Stiller guides readers through various countries that he has actually visited himself via his work with the World Evangelical Alliance. He shares stories of people that he or his colleagues have met, and gives practical advice on what Christians can be praying for, even including a written prayer.

While I liked the book and it did help to center my prayer life a bit, I found that after awhile, each chapter seemed to be too similar to the last - there were several different entries dedicated to prison ministry, for example, and it would have been nice to see a broader range of ministries - since there are so many around the world!

"It matters that we continue to grow a public-square presence of Christian initiatives, seeding our society with the leaven of Christian personnel, language, ideas, and leadership.

And when we do, a gospel presence is camoflauged and witness muted." p 37 ( )
