This book presents a collection of true stories from the life of a missionary in Central America. Through these experiences, God used Don Dodsworth to touch the hearts of a people who were extremely poor and plagued by malaria, tuberculosis, a variety of parasites, and a habitual life of drunkenness which led to an extremely low survival rate. It may appear that Don was chosen by God, like he chose the Jewish people in the Bible, to lift these people out of their destitute situation and put their feet on solid ground.
