Review

With the lower age requirements for missionaries recently announced, missionary applications have significantly increased. The release of 10 Questions to Answer While Preparing for a Mission couldn’t be more timely. I found this book to be a quick read and valuable resource to those who are considering serving in the mission field.

I didn’t serve a mission, but as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints I still found the questions pertinent to my life. As a mother, am I not serving as a missionary to my children? What about as a wife, sister, daughter, friend, and neighbor?

While 10 Questions to Answer While Preparing for a Mission is directed at young men and women who are desiring to serve missions, there are a few questions that all members should consider:

• Do I Have a Testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

• Do I Have “An Eye Single to the Glory of God?”

• Do I Understand How to Feel and Recognize the Spirit?

I liked the way the subjects, quotes and scriptures were organized and presented. I also appreciated that the author addressed not just preparing for the mission but what to expect after the mission. This book discusses specific topics but also provides a “big picture” view of the missionary experience. It would make a nice addition to any potential missionary’s library.
