For Missionaries and Members who desire to serve God. Charity, or love plus sacrifice, is the key to bringing souls unto God. It is a fact that almost no one can turn down love. Love is the magic that makes all good things happen. When we effectively implement love plus sacrifice in our lives, then we can expect the miracle of conversion as we labor to bring souls unto Christ. But how do we effectively implement charity in our lives? In this how-to book on successful missionary service, Elder Hartman Rector, Jr. outlines the principles that govern both the gift of charity and the miracle of conversion. These principles of conversion are grounded in the scriptures--predicated on eternal law. As we implement these principles in our lives, we become more effective missionaries and more converted members. In essence, we prepare ourselves to embark in the service of God.

This has been on my to-read shelf for too long for being such a tiny book! I took it with me to the Temple Sunday evening to read while my husband and I monitored the grounds and when my husband looked at the book he said that the author came to his mission and spoke about this when he was serving there in the early '90's. The book is full of ideas and wisdom and clear doctrine that make teaching people who don't know about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints much easier to understand and to accept.
