Description: News from the Middle East finds us wherever we live in today’s world. Children often wonder about this far-removed land, while parents struggle to teach their children about Islam. Tales of Persia is a timely book of missionary tales that will teach readers about Islam and encourage a new generation of Christians to spread the gospel.

This book is especially useful for family devotions and Sunday school classes. Tales of Persia includes seven beautifully detailed full-page illustrations.

Author Information: William Miller spent forty-three years as a missionary to Iran where he translated and prepared several books and Bible commentaries in Farsi. He is the author of A Christian Response to Islam.

"Tales of Persia" is a great book by a great missionary. I recommend it very highly to churches, Sunday school teachers, and to Christian families. This book could be used to encourage a new generation of Christians to do gospel missions among Muslims. Christian families are encouraged to study this book with their covenant children at their dinner table."

"Tales of Persia is a gem that I want my grandchildren to read. It tells about life in Islamic Iran in a warm, human way...There are stories about churches planted in Iran, and Iranian evangelists willing to suffer anything to spread the gospel. The contagious love of God for Iranians shines through on every page."

"From the time of Daniel and Esther, light has shined out of Persia. This wonderful heritage shimmers through the stories in this book."

"These are timeless tales, brimming with fascinating details of the brilliant advance of the gospel in Persia, now called Iran, a land now under the shadow of Islam. As the stories unfold, we also learn what Islam is, how it differs from Christianity, and why people need to be saved from it. This is highly recommended reading for opening young eyes to the excitement of life on the fiery edge where the gospel glows ever so brightly in a darkened land."
