10 Questions - Preparing for a Mission


This new release from author, and seminary teacher, Benjamin White - comes at a meaningful time for those seeking to ready themselves for missionary service.  It answers basic yet pertinent questions such as:  Do I Have a Testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ?, Do I Have “An Eye Single to the Glory of God”?,  Am I Ready to Work Hard for Over Sixty Hours a Week?,  Do I Understand How to Feel and Recognize the Spirit?, Am I Clean and Worthy to Represent the Lord?...

In response to my question of 'why did you write this book' - Brother White responded this way: "After listening to Elder Ballard's "Greatest Generation of Missionaries" talk 10 years ago in conference, I began to think about how I could help the youth better prepare for their missions. This book is the culmination of that initial thought. I sincerely hope it will help our young people prepare earlier and better than ever before as they start one of the great journeys of their lives.

Awesome; thanks for this one; it will be a good read for those preparing. I was a mission nurse for 2 years. It was so wonderful to work with the Elders and Sisters. It was fun to hear their testimonies when they first come into the field and then hear them as they are leaving. The growth in testimony was so apparent and beautiful to hear and witness.
Blessings!
