The Meaning of Your Mission: Know You Are Enough

After only sixty-three days at the Missionary Training Center, Drew Young returned home battling debilitating anxiety and depression—not the mission he had planned. In this candid memoir, he shares the shame, judgment, and healing that followed, weaving in scripture, therapy, and prophetic counsel. Rejecting the myth of perfectionism, he reassures readers that a mission isn't a place but a calling, that direction matters more than speed, and that everyone—regardless of circumstance—has a personal mission and is already enough in God's eyes.

• The rare firsthand account of what really happens inside the MTC—and what happens when a missionary has to come home
• Reframes 'coming home early' as being 'reassigned' by the Lord, lifting decades of guilt
• A Latter-day Saint author openly champions therapy and medication as blessings from God
• Directly addresses the cultural pressure on young women to serve missions—with the author's wife's story

Perfect for a young adult (or their parent) who came home early from a mission or struggles with anxiety, depression, and feeling they'll never measure up in LDS culture.
