Reviews

[Christel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This really is one of my all time favorite books. And it was written by my mission president. It tells you the straight, clear, simple facts -- this church is true and how to communicate it well.

Every missionary ought to read this book. Not sure when I read this book.

I was given this book after I was baptized in 1985 when I was 20.
