Blog Tour Spotlight ~ "Raising an Army of Helaman's Warriors" by Mark Olgetree and Kevin Hinckley




Turn your home into an MTC! With missionaries being called at younger ages and so many distractions and temptations to pull teens astray, parents need a plan to keep their kids on the missionary track. This practical, testimony-building approach to mission prep is perfect for parents and leaders. Start now so they can serve honorably and spread the word to all the world!




My thoughts:  As a mother of teen age children, I know that I want any help I can get to teaching them and loving them into good choices.  With one son in the mission field and three potential missionaries at home, I feel that this book would be of benefit.  This sounds like a great tool.
