Marjorie Collins and Eleanor Rowe have co-authored “The Ups and Downs of Being a Missionary,” a little 93-page book. It deals with things a novice to missions worries about and needs to know a bit about, from what it’s like to raise support, to giving to beggars. It’s not for veterans but for those just kind of thinking about missions (recruitment tool?), those thinking pretty seriously, and probably also those in process of first getting into missions. It may even be a help and an encouragement to a new missionary’s parents or family members. It does not teach details of missionary life, nor theology, nor profound mission strategy. With lots of examples, it teaches ATTITUDES, and allays irrational fears. It raises questions every new missionary needs to think about, and gets a newcomer to missions excited about what he’s considering getting involved in.
