My Missionary Manual: So I send you

Share post ->

I picked this from my wife’s bookshelve when I first got married.  This is perhaps one of the best books I read on preparing as a missionary for a long time.  I always learn a lot from Oswald Chambers’ writings.  I read his devotions, My Utmost for His Highest, on a daily basis.
