This bibliography is for future and current missionaries who desire an in-depth knowledge of missions. The guiding question I have used for developing this bibliography is "What are the most significant missions books for training of field missionaries?" If you have any suggestions or recommendations about t his list, please Gailyn Van Rheenen.
