Missionary folklore : the belief of being miraculously saved, 2001.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/367756703

Collection of religious stories centered on missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The stories have a shared theme of God looking out for his servants, protecting and caring for them. White suggests that because there are LDS (Latter-day Saint) missionaries all over the world their stories are often quite different, but remarkably the same. This is due to the fact that all missionaries are involved with similar work and are on similar schedules. White uses William Bascom's four function of folklore to help establish the stories as folklore.
