The Christian Heroes: Then & Nowseries chronicles the true stories of ordinary men and women whose trust in God accomplished extraordinary deeds for his kingdom and glory.

Albert Schweitzer adopted a peace-loving approach to life. At age thirty he felt called to study medicine and eventually became a doctor. Together with his wife, Hilhne, he founded a missionary hospital in Lambarene, Gabon. Devoted to medical work in Africa, Albert was also a beacon of hope for a better future in war-ravaged Europe and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. His impact on medical missions continues to resonate today, inspiring compassionate care to the ends of the earth (1875-1965).

For ages 10 and up.
