The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
Vivid, sympathetic biographies of seven men and women with great physical and spiritual courage. Florence Nightingale, Father Damien, George Washington Carver, Jane Addams, Wilfred Grenfell, Mahatma Gandhi, and Albert Schweitzer.
The gallant struggles of these great crusaders against poverty, ignorance, disease, and prejudice are skillfully portrayed. The stories of their achievements present a new vision of what service to humanity means.
The sensitive text and dramatic illustrations do more than tell of deeds accomplished. They capture the self-sacrifice and determination that in each case made the difference between victory and defeat.
A book to be read and reread by those who love adventure and the challenge of high courage.
