Description
This is not a book about leprosy. It is a book about people. Contagious Compassion is a beautifully written account of the people and events that changed attitudes and leprosy treatments around the world. More than an archival record, this fascinating 256-page book showcases the people who have been touched by leprosy (also known as Hansen’s disease) and marks milestones in treatment, attitudes, and care for persons with leprosy around the world. Contributors include: ° Winifred Kellersberger Vass ° Dr. Ted R. Brown ° Edgar Stoesz ° Philip Yancey, bestselling author of more than 16 books, including What’s So Amazing About Grace and Fearfully and Wonderfully Made Packed with more than 70 photos and full of interesting facts, Contagious Compassion recounts how treatment, research, organizations, ALM leaders, and the successful search for a cure evolved in the past one hundred years. It also spotlights that ALM’s work is not yet done, and how it continues to help those in need. - from Amzon
