Revere life, and give yours away with regard to serving others. As a man, Albert Schweitzer looked destined for greatness. His immense talent and fortitude propelled him to a location as one of Europe's most renowned philosophers, theologians, and musicians in the early 20th century. Yet Schweitzer stunned his contemporaries by forsaking worldly success and getting into an epic journey into the wilds of French Equatorial Africa, vowing to provide as a lifelong medical professional to "the least of the" in a mystical land rife with famine, sickness, and superstition. Enduring hardship, conflict, and personal challenges, he and his much loved better half, Hélène, became German prisoners of conflict during WWI - and Hélène later battled prolonged ailments. Ken Gire's novelesque narrative sheds new light on Schweitzer's faith-in-action ethic and his determination to honor God by celebrating the sacredness of all life.
