Excellent book- worth reading to see how people of all faiths, political persuasions etc can come together and save millions of lives.
I picked up this book because I’m passionate about child and maternal health and thought it would be a good read. I had no idea that it was going to be so Christian-centric. This wasn’t a problem for me, but might be something people want to know before diving in.
