Finishing up Question Week:
What books/reading would you recommend to someone considering full-time mission work?
As referenced on our “So, You Want to Be a Missionary…” page, the book we considered invaluable to our journey was “Funding Your Ministry: Whether You’re Gifted or Not” by Scott Morton. We most certainly would have made several errors without it, and it includes honest talk about myths, mistakes to avoid, strategies, and a section for beginners. Especially helpful are communication techniques and money management ideas.
I’m curious about what book(s) have helped you on your journey (and we can all agree that The Bible should be on the list!).

Ive been trying to find a reasonably priced copy of this online for a while now. Navpress have it in the US but wont ship to the UK. Neither will amazon US. A used copy is about £30 in the UK which seems a little excessive, does anyone have a copy they would consider lending me?
