Before You Go answer the age-old question: "If you could go back in time, what is one thing you would tell your younger self?" The book is a delightful conversation answering this question by sitting at the feet of 10 faithful missionaries and soaking in their wisdom. I highly recommend reading Before You Go for anyone considering pursuing cross-cultural missions.
-Shaun Yun, Cedarville University student
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is seriously considering full time missions in the future. This book hits many of the main questions and places that you would be thinking about in preparing for the future, and some that you should be thinking about. The encouragements and warnings in this book come with wisdom and experience which is propelled by a desire for the next generation of missionaries and ministers to strive in following the Lord wholeheartedly. I have been greatly blessed by the wisdom and hearts of Godly men such as these who have been
faithful in missions, and it is a great joy to think that you to have a similar opportunity to pull up a chair, bring your mug of coffee, and discern what it may look like to serve the Lord in the realm of missions.
