Customer Reviews

An outstanding book about a great Christian

My sons both read this and loved it. You'll definitely not be disappointed and it has both adventure as well as some humor--and all the while teaching you great lessons about Christian character. This is a true story.

A wonderful recounting of the road from surgeon to servant.

In a world ripped apart by war, a missionary couple is killed. Their son begins a long road to wards college, medical school and eventually surgical training, in order to return to the mission field where his parents died. Along the way he discovers God's hand working all around him. The path he follows leads far from his dream and in an honest and candid style, the author reveals his disappointment and frustration. There are valuable lessons learned in the process about sacrifice, servanthood, joy and commitment. ON CALL is peppered with stories that reflect a keen sense of humor.An "easy read" that will challenge an uplift.
