Rookie Missionary

Reading List
by Grant R. Nieddu, Chief Spark Instigator

Below is a list of the books Marissa and I absolutely recommend for anyone beginning their Rookie Missionary journey. Over the past 12 years, I have read and absorbed a ton of material and paid a great price to know what I know, to be able to do what we do on the mission AND business fields. (Thats why my life coaching and organizational training costs so much!) However, you can gain the same knowledge with your own reading and development! If you found this by reading the Rookie Missionary Manifesto, I want to thank you for taking a huge step toward your missional life; self-education. If you arrived here by any other means, you are welcome here. Be sure to read The Manifest mentioned above. It will bring a lot of clarity as to what this reading list is all about. Regardless, you can still benefit greatly in your own missional journey with the material listed below. WARNING: This material is for those who are dedicated to a powerful way of life. It will be harsh and challenging. Often, it will be lonely and cold. The rewards are there, but the price is high. Be warned, if you read this material you may open up a Pandoras Box that you just may not be ready for. Consider yourself warned! :)
