Realism is key.
This is not a sugar-coated view. President Rogers' book presents a remarkable view of missionary work in Russia - warts and all. I especially like the exerpts from the journals of missionaries who served under him, and the accompanying photos of Russian life. Two weeks from the day I write this review I will enter the MTC for the Russia Moscow mission, and I can't thank President Rogers enough for his writing. He tells us what we can really expect, good and bad.
