Reading list for the Iris Harvest School of Missions
Updated February 6, 2008
We recommend that you purchase your books early and read as many as possible before you arrive in Mozambique. This will save luggage space, weight, and would be helpful for those traveling from countries with lower flight luggage weight allowances.
Most of the School Reading List books are available at www.amazon.com . Amazon will ship purchases of $25 or more free by regular mail in the US.
This option helps those who are already over extended. It will make the books available to you at the lowest possible cost since you can purchase either new or used copies.
Books #1, 2, 3 and book #1 of the optional list are also available from us (see our books and videos page).

* From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya: Students aren't required to read the whole book. However, we need you to select a few missionaries from the book (even do a little extra research) to make a presentation to the school. This is a great book full of true life missionary stories if you want to read it all.
