"Most of us have framed our weekly letters to our missionaries and family members in far-away places as newsletters. Bob Quinn has framed this weekly ritual differently. By becoming missionaries ourselves, our letters can be written to inspire and motivate our family members to teach each other how to build the Kingdom of God. This is an inspiring book." - --Clayton Christensen, missionary

The stuff in this book changed my life! The author was my mission president and a lot of what is in the book we used on the mission. This book is incredible and will help you get so much more out of your own mission or helping a loved one on the mission. Worth every penny! I just bought one to give to my parents who are headed out in 3 months! I can't wait! --Nick J DeFilippis (Amazon Verified Review)

Such a wonderful book to help make letter writing and emails much more meaningful. I feel like I'm connecting better to my son through our letters and I'm able to understand ways in which I can boost him and help guide him when he needs it. Wonderful and easy to read !! --Amazon Verified Review
