Well: Healing Our Beautiful, Broken World from a Hospital in West Africa by Sarah Thebarge
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Get ready to have your heart stretched. This wonderful true story, endorsed by Compassion International, will shake you up.
The author Sarah Thebarge is a physician’s assistant who, after almost dying of cancer, packs everything up and moves to Togo, West Africa. Togo has the global designation of the most unhappy place in the world. Thebarge goes to care for the sick and the suffering.
The book is filled with stories of utter sadness and expectations of hope.
My favorite take-away from the book is this, “Who were we to challenge, let alone try to improve upon, Jesus’ model of expressing Divine Love?” (pg 258)
This book will cause unraveling in the deepest part of one’s soul and convince us *that what we do for the least of these – we are truly doing for our Lord and Savior.*
This books sounds so inspiring. Thanks for sharing on the #LMMLinkup this past week.
Mary, an inspiring, motivating book. xo
