About this audiobook
Watching his father perform medical procedures back in India had convinced Paul that medicine was about blood and guts and ulcers. To his amazement, he found that it was really about causes and cures, alleviating pain, and treating ill people with dignity.
The son of missionary parents, Paul Brand did not plan on becoming a doctor. After training as a builder, he was called by God into medicine and spent a lifetime treating leprosy and restoring hope to thousands of sufferers.
Dr. Paul Brand became the first surgeon in the world to use reconstructive surgery to correct the deformities of leprosy in the hands and feet. He strove to eliminate the stigma of the disease and rebuild the lives of those destroyed by it. A humble, brilliant servant, he influenced faith and medical communities around the world, reminding us that all people are created in the image of God. (1914-2003)
An EChristian, Inc production.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Its amazing how burden for the body and soul of human beings and a never ending curiosity towards the unanswered questions of Hansen's disease made one man lend a big helping hand towards a better prognosis for a once isolating and dreadful sickness.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Un doctor misionero cristiano ayuda a pacientes con enfermedad de Hansen (antes conocida como lepra) a recuperar la movilidad de sus manos.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It touched my heart. Fascinating lives of people dedicated to the service of God's marginalized people as the people with Hansen's disease. After two thousand years we continue getting away from those afflicted with the malady.
I learned a lot through the narrative of Dr. Paul Brand life challenges and successes. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What a life! Paul Brand and his wife were an encouragement to me. It's amazing how God choose people and give them capabilities, wisdom and desire to serve Him through his or her life. Blessed be the Lord and for sure and want to meet Paul Brand in heaven as many others that have been challenging my life through their examples.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Remarkable life story of God's guidance in an individual's life and mission.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fascinating couple, it’s amazing what God will do when you are willing to be used by Him.
