Description

Albert Schweitzer's life was one of immense talent and fortitude, propelling him to greatness as a philosopher, theologian, and musician in early twentieth-century Europe. Yet, he shocked his contemporaries by choosing a different path - serving as a lifelong physician in French Equatorial Africa. Enduring hardship, conflict, and personal struggles, Schweitzer and his wife Hélène faced numerous challenges, including being French prisoners of war during WWI. Ken Gire's narrative sheds new light on Schweitzer's faith-in-action ethic and commitment to honor God by celebrating the sacredness of all life. Schweitzer's legacy endures in the thriving African hospital community that began in a humble chicken coop, inspiring millions who have drawn inspiration from his example. His remarkable story is one of hope and healing, a testament to the power of making life one's greatest sermon.
