In this fascinating book we are introduced to the life and work of a man whose love for the unlovely has led to the transformation of many lives. Leprosy was one of the most misunderstood and feared diseases in the world, but Brand’s love for lepers coupled with his mechanical mind led to his discovery of the root cause of many of the symptoms and the development of effective treatment for the resulting disfigurement and eventually a cure. This book is not for the squeamish, but it will fascinate anyone with an interest in how God prepares his servants for the job he wants them to do. Towards the end of his life Paul Brand received many accolades for his work, but this book makes it clear that his focus was never on the praises of men, but rather on demonstrating the love of Jesus to the suffering men and women he saw all around him. At the end of the book a series of discussion topics based on the various chapters give opportunity to think further about the issues raised. This book is designed for children and young teens, but it does contain some details of the symptoms and treatment of leprosy, so it might not be appropriate for all readers. That being said, it is highly recommended.
