I owe you a lot for who I am today because of your book, The Mission. I read it at a crucial time on my mission, and it was a catalyst for me to choose to be the best missionary I could be. Mick

After reading the book, it changed the way I served my mission. I went from having doubts about my mission to being called as an AP. I've wanted to give this out to every missionary I know before they serve. Rhett

A must read for every LDS missionary! I read this book in the BYU bookstore. I couldn't put it down! I had just received my mission call and it gave me a whole new perspective on what a mission might be like. Hawley
