A Thousand Souls

- $18.95
When nineteen-year-old Lee Nelson leaves Berkeley for a mission to southern Germany in 1962, he carries a heavy burden: Elder Spencer W. Kimball blessed him to bring a thousand souls to the truth—yet he isn't even sure the Church is true. Through language struggles, tracting, pranks, a fiery Catholic rival, and a fast that finally brings him a testimony, Lee learns that success is measured differently than he imagined. A warm, funny, and surprisingly honest look at missionary life and the mystery of faith.
- An apostle blessed him to bring a thousand souls to the truth—but he didn't even know the Church was true.
- A refreshingly honest, funny look at real missionary life, doubts and pranks included.
- From Lee Nelson, bestselling author of The Storm Testament and Rockwell, comes his own true mission story.
- A doubting Berkeley student, a fiery Catholic priest, and a beautiful nun—faith found in the unlikeliest places.
“He blessed me that I would be protected from harm, that I would enjoy good health, and that if I kept the commandments and remained faithful I would be instrumental in bringing a thousand souls to the truth.”
Perfect for a returned missionary or prospective missionary who loves honest, funny, faith-affirming stories about the real ups and downs of the mission field.
