Ten Fingers for God

This book has been on the bookshelf since I could remember.  Mom and dad have told me how good it is but I've never picked it up to read it.  Wednesday night, while I was waiting to go to work, I grabbed it off the shelf and started reading it.  With the first page I was hooked!! Dr. Paul Brand was a son to two missionary doctors in the mountains of India. At the age of five he and his sister were sent to England where they would get a better education. Later on after college he married a doctor and they moved to India. It was here that his passion for leprosy patients grew.  He became a skilled surgeon in this field and his painstaking research and surgical trial and error led to amazing discoverys.  It is one of those books you do not want to put down!!

Here are some other books about him and his family:
