My name is Robert M. Ries. I'm married to Glenda and I have two children who are adults over forty years old. I spent twenty years in the United States Marine Corps, and towards my retirement, while deciding to do the rest of my life I started doing mission work, and I went through a process came writing a book whether should I not write a book and I I struggle with many things, so I decided that anybody in my situation might struggle also with the same thing so I try to make easier to people with the same questions. Was God calling me to the mission to write this book? Whether I knew enough to tell them about it. Whether I should be good enough to be a missionary. I just put down in this book the struggle I went through so that other people would feel their struggle would be normal.
