As the Ward Mission Leader, I'm trying to be a better example of member missionary work. While talking with a neighbor recently, I offered her the Book of Mormon, and she graciously accepted it. I didn't have a copy with me, but it worked out because I wanted to give her a list of verses with the book. Here's the scripture list I came up with. I'd love to see what other verses you recommend.

This is a great list. Thanks, hopefully I can use it in the near future!
I also found this list to be useful. It's very moving to see you so eager to share your faith with others, and to have such a desire to serve your church in a missionary capacity. I've always been impressed at how LDS people encourage its membership to be totally involved in activities traditionally reserved for ordained clergy.
I AM GIVING A TALK ON SHARING THE GOSPEL. THANK YOU FOR THIS DETAILED LIST. IT MAKES MY TALK SO EASIER.
THANKS AGAIN!!!
