by Clark B. & Kathleen H. Hinckley

This handbook is designed to help recently returned missionaries transition to life beyond full-time missionary service.

Each chapter contains scripture references, points to remember, and suggested activities that can be completed within a few weeks of returning home. Another feature of the book is the authors companion website, TheNextTwoYears.org, with additional materials and resources, advice from returned missionaries, and a place where readers can share their own experiences and ask questions.
