Review: This book offers the reader a unique glimpse of a remarkable man who believed in the sacredness of life. As a philosopher, theologican, moralist and physician, Albert Schweitzer worked tirelessly for the betterment of humanity. Although he was faulted by some for his old-fashioned European values, Schweitzer demonstrated his Christian love by ministering to the physical needs of his black brothers and sisters. At his free hospital in Gabon, he also ministered to their spiritual needs. Here, in a collection of Sunday sermons, is a verbatim record of what he said to his patients and their families in simple, easy to understand messages, based upon biblical texts.
