As a missionary I dreamed of being like Wilford Woodruff. Had I had this magnificent book I would have had not just one but many heroes and examples. This book should be required reading for every prospective missionary. How better to prepare to proclaim the gospel than by learning about these valiant missionaries? Doug Clark has written some great books before, but this is his best so far. Based on meticulous research, this inspiring volume brings to life sixteen of the most amazing individuals in history, teaching us how to keep our baptismal covenant to "stand as witnesses of God."
