Revere life, and give yours away for the sake of serving
others.
As a young man, Albert Schweitzer seemed destined for greatness.
His immense talent and fortitude propelled him to a place as one of
Europe's most renowned philosophers, theologians, and musicians in
the early twentieth century. Yet Schweitzer shocked his
contemporaries by forsaking worldly success and embarking on an
epic journey into the wilds of French Equatorial Africa, vowing to
serve as a lifelong physician to "the least of these" in a
mysterious land rife with famine, sickness, and
superstition.""
""
Enduring hardship, conflict, and personal struggles, he and his
beloved wife, Helene, became French prisoners of war during WWI,
and Helene later battled persistent illnesses.
Ken Gire's page-turning, novelesque narrative sheds new light on
Schweitzer's faith-in-action ethic and his commitment to honor God
by celebrating the sacredness of all life.
The legacy of this 1952 Nobel Prize honoree endures in the
thriving African hospital community that began in a humble chicken
coop, in the millions who have drawn inspiration from his example,
and in the challenge that emanates from his life story into our
day. Albert Schweitzer seemed destined for greatness--and he
achieved it by making his life his greatest sermon to a world in
desperate need of hope and healing.
