Don’t just be prepared–be
prepared well. Ben Bernards, popular youth speaker, presents this adventurous
book of seven guiding rules and lessons to help train a new generation of
missionaries. These invaluable lessons, from God’s measure of success to
unexpected difficulties in the field, will apply to any missionary’s call,
readying them for the great and challenging experiences of the Lord’s work.
About the author:
Ben Bernards grew up in a big
Mormon family in a small farming town in the heart of Utah County where he and
his eight brothers and sisters were raised on a steady diet of Nintendo,
Transformers, Dungeons & Dragons, and Star Wars. He geeks out on all that
plus everything marching band, Marvel, and Tolkien (his autographed edition of
Lord of the Rings is pretty much the coolest.)
He loves teaching youth the
Gospel of Jesus Christ, whether it be in Seminary, Sunday School, at youth
conferences or EFY. He served a mission on the Fiji Islands where he survived
cyclones, rampaging natives, and swarms of giant bats while living in a hut in
the jungle. (He still hasn’t convinced his wife to go back and visit.)
I think the premise for the new book is awesome! Working with the Young Elders and Sisters has been an adventure. They are amazing. Getting prepared before coming out is so good; you can usually tell those that have been a little better prepared. I loved your thoughts on the author. Always, love your posts. Blessings and hugs~
