Parry is a collection of accounts and reflections centering on the experiences of missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, written in the late 19th century. The book aims to provide insight into the character, challenges, and providential support encountered by these young missionaries as they travel to spread their faith. It illustrates how their faith and reliance on divine guidance inform their journey, with an emphasis on the transforming power of their experiences. The content of the book unfolds through a series of chapters that encapsulate various aspects of missionary life, including the initial struggle to leave home, encounters with temptation, and miraculous instances of help encountered during their service. Parry shares anecdotes that highlight the resilience and faith of missionaries facing challenges such as financial hardship, homesickness, and the need for public speaking. Through these narratives, the book portrays both the hardships and the rewarding nature of missionary work, underscoring themes of divine support, personal growth, and the impact missionaries can have on those they meet while fostering their own spiritual development.
