Discover 17 essential secrets of what it really like to become a missionary!

Discover 17 essential secrets of what it is really like to become a missionary! I stood there in the bookstore saying to myself “God, please don't make me become a missionary!” I hoped there would be a book on the shelf that said 'Read this to make it all better.' Join me on my own personal journey of becoming something I never aspired to be:
a missionary to Papua New Guinea. I've read plenty of books on the topic and none of them were nearly as insightful as sitting down with someone who has actually been there, and asking them the hard questions. Did you face hardship? What was the grossest part of living there? What was the best part? Would you do it again? Too many books are trying to make missions attractive. This one isn't. The way I see it, if God is putting a call on your heart, you have to obey. This book is about equipping you with real information so that you can succeed. The cold hard truth is, if you've decided to become a missionary your life is about to get very difficult. Becoming a missionary is the hardest choice you'll ever make, and it could be the most rewarding one. Nothing worth doing is easy. This book will help prepare you for difficulty. In this book, you'll see the naked underbelly of the missionary life. I'll point out the silly and the ridiculous. I'll warn you about dangers that others failed to mention to me. You need to read this book if you are an aspiring missionary, missionary supporter, missions minded person, frustrated missionary, family of missionaries, or simply a friend of a missionary. Don't Call Me Missionary is humorous, candid and a little bit irreverent. This book will be an encouragement to anyone who is curious about missions because there is nothing so helpful as good honest, no punches pulled, truth.
