A personal account of the Courtney family and the Preemptive Love
Coalition, as they help children obtain lifesaving surgeries in
Iraq using one simple but powerful tool: a love that strikes first.
In the middle of the Iraq War, Jeremy and Jessica Courtney found
themselves with their two children caught up in the turmoil, just
hoping to make a difference. After an encounter with a father whose
little girl was dying from a heart defect, they began to
investigate options for helping and learned that untold thousands
of children across Iraq were in similar need, waiting in line for
heart surgery in a country without a qualified heart surgeon.
With the help of their closest friends, they dived in to save the
lives of as many as they could, but sending children abroad proved
to be expensive and cumbersome, and it failed to make an impact on
the systemic needs of Iraqi hospitals--the place where these
children really should be saved. Despite fatwas, death threats,
bombings, imprisonments, and intense living conditions, Jeremy and
his team persevered to overcome years of hostilities and distrust
in an effort to eradicate the backlog of thousands upon thousands
of Iraqi children waiting in line for much-needed heart surgery.
"This true story of people coming together to live the doctrine of
'love first, ask questions later' by building bridges and saving
lives is powerfully inspiring, touching, and, unfortunately,
urgently relevant" ("Publishers Weekly"). "Courtney's moving story
gives us some of the best news to come out of Iraq in ages" ("Los
Angeles Times")." "
