This inspiring story tells of the courage of a young Ghanaian boy
who, having failed to achieve his aim to become a medical doctor by
attending a university in Ghana or by virtue of a scholarship to
the USSR, raised funds by working on a building site in Nigeria to
pay for a daring flight to East Berlin-a route by which he realised
his dreams and became a medical doctor in Germany. The story goes
right back to the time when the young Ghanaian schoolboy had to
face a catalogue of difficulties and challenges, surviving
illnesses and horrendous treatments by traditional witch-doctors,
and attending school in spite of having to cross remote bush paths.
It is an uplifting and encouraging book, showing how faith in God
and a firm goal together with perseverance will lead to success
This is a health education manual, clearly written, in a friendly
and easy to follow manner that will make it invaluable for the
layman, to come to grips with the essential causes of diseases and
medical cures. The writer, himself a medical doctor, often writes
from the perspective of his own early background in a rural village
in Ghana, and, indeed, for anyone growing up in an African context,
this book will be a wonderful guide to better health. The Manual is
very readable, all the more so on account of the frequent
illustrations from the doctor-author's own consulting room. With
his attractive bedside manner, he speaks to the reader not as a
superior doctor but as a friend and as an equal, never pedantic and
never aloof.

so far as it is addressed largely to the Christian reader.The
writer's explanation of the nature of disease makes abundantsense,
tracing, as he does, its origin to the fall of man in Eden,
wherethe Creator made everything perfect and saw that "all was
good."From a medical and Christian point of view this book will
advocatea lifestyle that will best serve the reader to prevent
disease, forprevention is always better than cure And where a cure
is needed, the right mental attitude, not forgetting the unlimited
power ofprayer, is probably the most important resource.
