On his first mission in Asia, Preston experienced the unthinkable: he was sexually and emotionally abused by a companion. Returning home early, he dealt with clinical PTSD, depression, and was understandably bitter toward God.
Preston wrote about his experience of healing through Christ's atonement in his new book, "This Boy and His Mother"—the title coming from a quote in Elder Holland's conference talk, "Behold Thy Mother," in which he detailed some of Preston's story.
On today's episode, we talk about Preston's experience, the book, and some of the key lessons he learned in the healing process.
