    How about a book that shows them who Jesus truly was.

    Prof. Daniel B. Wallace (wrote the textbook on ancient Greek Greek translation) in an interview in The Case for the Real Jesus says It’s disturbing that when it comes to the Christian faith, people don’t really want, or know how, to investigate the evidence, perhaps he would be interested in what the Bible actually says about God and Jesus.

    There is alot of ignorance and misconception about God and Jesus why not get him something to help his search for what is true. Alternately depending on where he is going money, clothes anything practical and light.

    Honestly, something practical would be best. New socks? Those are easy to buy for anyone. A new bicycle helmet, if his is old. Does he need a backpack or other tote?

    If you know him personally, does he have a computer, or have access to one? If so, how about a game you think he might like? Or a case for the computer, or anything along those lines? Music for an iPod?

    Missionaries are just plain folks, too. Get a gift you’d get for a 19- or 20-year-old religious young man.

    Another wife?

    don’t listen to those other people they don’t know the dynamics of the LDS faith. They don’t know what we really believe.

    Give him money-he can get what he wants with it.

    For a really unique and different birthday gift, have a look at a personalized Photo Collage Jigsaw Puzzle from jigsaw2order.com. Just send a selection of photos and specify any other hobbies or favorites she may have. 15-25 photos usually works best. You can also specify any words that you want – a message of favorite poem. Based on your photos and input, the professional designers at jigsaw2order.com will create a unique photo collage layout for your approval before making it into a puzzle. Don’t worry, you get a chance to review and approve the photo collage design before they make a puzzle. Once completed, it can be framed and put on the wall as a keepsake of the birthday.

    Maxim and Ramen?

    Kidding.

    Seriously though, they love food. Make him a gift basket full of goodies and treats.
