This book has loads of practical advice to work through the process of becoming a missionary. Its not just a book, it is also a journal. Throughout the book you will find excellent journal worksheets with good questions to wrestle with. I also like the short articles on key issues from mission leaders sprinkled throughout. I highly recommend it. The outline of the book is as follows: Beginning Your Journey to the Nations: A Personal Fitness Assessment Introduction: What Does It Take to Be Prepared?
