Book Synopsis
This text owes its existence to a 1923 psycoanalytic session conducted by Dr O. Pfister with the then 49-year-old Schweitzer. Immersed in Christianity and covering his first 19 years, this reveals what led him to serve his life's work in Africa as a missionary.

Trade Review
Dr. Schweitzer tells his story with frankness and simplicity, and though he takes many a good-humored poke at himself as an earnest young man, he respects that young man, and with reason.
