Description
Book SynopsisThe visionary account of how Klaus and his wife, under God, achieved the impossible: a top class hospital for some of the world's poorest people.
Trade Review“As a scientist I am deeply interested in the evidences that study of the cosmos provides for the existence of God. However, I am not simply a theist but a Christian and one of the central Christian claims is that it is possible to have a living relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Hence part of the evidence for the truth of Christianity will be found in the testing of that claim in everyday life. The story of Diospi Suyana hospital is a remarkable example of what happens when people take God seriously and I heartily recommend this account as compelling evidence that there is a God who cares.” -- John Lennox, Professor of Mathematics, University of Oxford
“Of course Klaus John believes in miracles. His life is a story of God's intervention.” -- Berliner Tagesspiegel
“I cannot ever remember being so moved just from reading a book.” -- Joshua Searle
