The Work and the Stories is a groundbreaking collection of LDS missionary experiences that were not always by the book but were nevertheless life-changing. Featuring friendships forged and companions from hell, cultural clashes and moments of clarity, funny memories and poignant challenges, these stories reflect the diverse voices and experiences of LDS missionaries. They offer a peek behind the curtain at lessons that run deeper than the homecoming talk. Featuring stories by Ed Christensen, Neil Dabb, Doug Gibson, McKel Jensen, Liz Kazandzhy, Tim Keller, Jocelyn McDaniel, Mark E. Moody, Edmond Porter, TJ Tarbet, and David S. Taylor.
