Life as a Medical Missionary

A highly entertaining and informative account of years spent by the author and his family at a remote village in Nepal, where he and his wife served as doctors in a small mission hospital. The humor and frustrations of adjusting to life in a poor country without most of the things we take for granted in the U.S.

Humerous, inspiring, sincere, excellent writing

I love the book from the start and I have bought it for many friends since my first reading 7 years ago. I love the candid portray of faith and the author's struggles of finding ways to introducing God to the Nepalese who were not introduced to the concept of mercy and unconditional love in Budhism. And above all, the author has a great sense of humor and, his faith in God is an inspiration to all. A refreshing reading for all.
